This paper describes an application of a feedforward backpropagation artificial neural network (ANN), to predict Geothermal Power Plant (GPP) Unit 4 Kamojang performance under a broad range of operating conditions. The ANN model was used for predicting specific steam consumption (SSC) of the plant, using 10 input parameters such as steam input parameters, turbine-generator parameters, condenser parameters,...
As an important part of a sustainability strategy, energy usage in an automotive manufacturing plant is an important topic that has recently gained significant attention. Researchers mostly focus on energy conservation through increasing the efficiency of such facilities, optimizing energy supplies, and scheduling efficient production sequences. However, attention is seldom focused on holistic energy...
As the penetration of renewable energy sources increases, availability of fast ramping resources for frequency regulations is vital. This need has been recognized by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) capable of fast charging with short battery reaction time are promising sources for ancillary services (AS). The highest revenue earning from AS by...
Several energy efficiency projects have been performed on Weber State University campus in the past years. The achievement is remarkable. This paper will address the design of a pilot project, Solar Charging Station, through student's senior project for education and research. Students will learn the theory of solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems and to build an experimental solar stations to charge the...
In this work we present a data-driven approach to the rational design of battery materials based on both resource and performance considerations. This work builds upon previous efforts by Gaultois and coworkers to use data mining to explore battery materials. A large database of Li-ion battery material has been created by abstracting information from over 200 publications. The database consists of...
Integration of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems in roadways and vehicles represents a promising alternative to traditional internal combustion transportation systems. The economic feasibility and environmental impact of WPT applied to the transportation system is evaluated through the development of engineering system models. For a 20% penetration of the WPT technology in vehicles, results show...
