Major plans for a future 100% renewable energy society will be reviewed with emphasis on the requirements for new technology. Record braking developments, such as the world's most powerful wind turbine, Vestas V-164, featuring ultra-long rotor blades and with an 8MW unit rating, solar concentrated power plants with integrated energy storage in excess of 17 hours, are expected to be major contributors...
Provides an abstract for each of the tutorial presentations and a brief professional biography of each presenter. The complete presentations were not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings.
This paper is aimed at new entrants into the field of electrical community energy. It reviews some of the work that is underway into community electrical energy projects. This review includes a summary of key issues and components which need consideration including some or all of the following; demand side management, energy storage (including vehicle to grid) and renewable generation. The paper looks...
Usage of geothermal resources in Turkey increased notable in the recent years. A drilling operation is necessary to obtain geothermal fluids generally. Such an operation includes an economic calculation and a significant engineering application. In this paper it is analyzed the cost elements of a drilling operation, such as employee cost, drilling and other material cost.
Main purpose of this manuscript is to show and discuss some alternative renewable energy producing systems by utilizing piezoelectric crystal materials. It is known that piezoelectric materials have the ability to produce electricity from mechanical strain. This type of materials can be used for renewable energy production. In this study, 5 different designs are introduced as alternative energy producing...
Today, another alternative usage area of the piezoelectric materials having a wide usage area from the automotive sector to the military industry is the production of electricity energy. In this study; information has been given regarding the piezoelectric impact and the usage areas of the materials showing this impact. The number of the studies conducted in the area of renewable energy production...
Accurate state-of-power (SOP) estimates are critical for building battery systems with optimized performance and longer life in electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). This paper proposes a novel parameter identification method and its implementation on SOP prediction for lithium-ion batteries. The extremum seeking algorithm is developed for identifying the parameters of batteries...
For more than 30 years, Lebanon has suffered from insufficient electric production. While the world is shifting towards total dependency on renewable energy, Lebanon is still facing the disastrous situation in its electricity sector. This paper suggests a plan of building diesel power plants and engaging them to the public grid. To achieve this, a supervisory control method (SCM) including a frequency...
This paper discusses the use of the concept of classical and predictive direct power control for shunt active power filter. These strategies are used to improve the active power filter performance by compensation of the reactive power and the elimination of the harmonic currents drawn by non-linear loads. A theoretical analysis followed by a simulation using Matlab/Simulink software for the studied...
This paper explains a design of a bootstrap circuit to drive a half-bridge inverter circuit, The standard bootstrap circuit consists of a driver IC and three external components (RBoot, DBoot and CBoot) for inverter application. However, the bootstrap circuits had shown some weakness such as having adequate components to allow a high performance. This article shows how to select the bootstrap driver...
Electric rocket engines (electric thruster), in which electric energy is converted to kinetic one, are suitable for future long missions in space because they can achieve higher specific impulse, i.e., higher propellant serving than conventional chemical thrusters. At Osaka Institute of Technology (OIT), several kinds of electric thruster, that is, magneto-plasma-dynamic (MPD) thruster, direct-current...
This article studies the feasibility of combining spar-type offshore wind turbine (inspired by Hywind) and a wave energy converter (inspired by Wavestar) by performing numerical simulations in operational conditions. The dynamic responses and power production of wave energy device and wind turbine are investigated for different power-take-off systems. Integrated/coupled aero-hydro-servo-elastic time-domain...
The design criteria of PV cell, DC/DC converter and grid connected DC/AC inverter which belong to the photovoltaic system are determined and Simulink models are established in this study. The control of DC/DC converter and DC/AC inverter is ensured by using fuzzy logic and PI control. The results of fuzzy logic and PI control were compared. It was seen in the result of simulation that fuzzy logic...
