Due to the increase in electricity energy consumption and the crisis has been caused by greenhouse gases (GHG), it is now inevitable to use renewable energy. This would mainly be achieved by means of micro-grid that includes aggregated control of some Distributed Generation (DG) units that are grid connected and near the load. Therefore investing for installing new DGs in a micro-grid is needed. This...
In the last years, technological innovations and changing economic and regulatory environments have resulted in a great interest for Distributed Generation (DG). DG concept covers local power generation at distribution level by using renewable or non-conventional generators. Distributed Energy Resources (DER) range from CHP (combined heat and power) systems based on Stirling engines, fuel cells and...
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) systems are an emerging concept of utilizing the battery storage of electric vehicles (EVs) for providing power system regulation services. This technology could be used to balance the variable electricity generated from various renewable energy sources. This article considers a model of an aggregated electric vehicle based battery storage to support an isolated power system...
At the time of independence in 1947 India was having a meager generation of above 1,360 MW, that too in a highly decentralized manner in and around urban areas to meet the load of latter. It followed decades of development in power sector, aiming at optimum utilization of geographically dispersed resources, economy of scale, harnessing of hydro-energy in far-flung areas as well as thermal energy at...
The markets of renewable energy, distributed generation, manufactured systems, design and construction engineering, and sustainable development are fast approaching a crossroads, creating an environment to make high-performance development as distributed generation economically and technically feasible. Difficulties in siting of energy infrastructure in the United States and abroad further encourage...
Distributed Generation (DG) is generally considered as an alternative to bulk power transport. The basic idea is that the presence of electricity generation inside the distribution systems leads to a reduction of the local electricity needs, which consequently leads to a reduced need for power transmission capacity and thus a deferral of investments in transmission lines. However, due to the different...
