Heat pumps are vitally important for achieving low carbon and renewable energy targets. There is a rapid increase in heat pump installations in the UK and Europe in the last few years for their supporting role towards green energy and demand-side management. The increase in heat pump installation prompts research work on the impact of high penetration of heat pumps on the low voltage network. This...
This paper investigates the performance characteristics of rapeseed methyl ester, EN 14214 biodiesel, when used for electrical generation in compression ignition engines. The work was inspired by the need to replace fossil diesel fuel with a sustainable low carbon alternative while maintaining generator performance, power quality, and compliance with ISO 8528-5. A 50-kVA Perkins diesel engine generator...
This paper presents a model which can be used to simulate the load acceptance behavior of a diesel generating set. Unlike traditional thermal plants, generating sets (gen-sets) are often expected to undergo large rapid changes in load. A gen-set with a low inertia will naturally be more susceptible to changes in speed. This problem is compounded with the introduction of turbocharged engines. Although...
