Stand-alone power systems are a challenging option to supply remote equipments in many applications. They include renewable energy generators whose intermittent power supply requires an appropriate energy storage component to balance the power mismatch between the generation and the demand. Batteries are the obvious choice for this purpose. However, the irregular fluctuations and hard transients would...
The paper deals with the design of a prototype of a small microcogeneration unit of about 2 kW electric power and about 5 kW thermal power, suitable for residential off grid applications, designed and developed at Istituto Motori CNR of Italy. This unit has been conceived specifically as a recharging system for energy conversion system for houses, having in low noise and vibration, durability and...
The article discusses the proposal, specifications and overall performance of a 10 kW electric power range extender suitable for electric plug-in and series hybrid vehicles, based on a single cylinder, four stroke internal combustion engine, derived from a motorcycle engine, modified and developed at Istituto Motori CNR of Italy, coupled with a PM generator. This unit has been thought as a low-cost...
This paper presents the configuration and control strategy for an input-series- and output-parallel-(ISOP) connected isolated DC/DC converter. The constituent modules are voltage-fed quasi-Z-source inverters with a single-phase isolation transformer and a voltage doubler rectifier. Experimental measurements with common duty cycle in open loop operation mode are shown in order to observe divergence...
The paper tackles an issue that concerns both the suppliers and consumers of electric energy: power losses in distribution power networks. On the other hand, the harmonic pollution in power networks has become a permanent issue, and in many situations along with the unbalance determines a steady state that is unbalanced and non-sinusoidal. In the design and exploitation stage the power engineers calculate...
This paper covers the analysis methods and results of the increasing wind integration impacts on the Baltic region's electricity market participants and power plant economics. The scope of the study is 2025 - when mayor decrease in generation capacities has occurred. The final part of the paper addresses the key findings that large scale wind integration might have on the economics of different generation...
