The paper presents a general model for energy efficiency calculation, developed with the main purpose of being capable to deal with the fast changes our society faces nowadays. After any energy saving activity, either technological or even behavioral, the model will be able to estimate the energy, which would have been consumed under the supposition that the aforementioned activity was not implemented...
Electric utilities in the United States are increasingly employing demand charges and/or real-time pricing. Such directive is bringing potential opportunities in deploying behind-the-meter energy storage (BMES) systems for various grid applications. This study quantifies the techno-economic benefits of BMES in reducing demand charge and smoothing load/generation intermittencies, and determines how...
Electric Vehicles have zero emissions and are hence green and environmentally friendly. A lot of research is being done considering such vehicles at the system level. One of the systems being worked on is CVT (Continuously Varying Transmission). In this paper, an attempt is made to incorporate a CVT system with an electric vehicle. This setup will allow the motor to operate in high-efficiency ranges...
This paper presents a demand response model for a hypothetical microgrid that integrates renewable resources and plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging systems. It is assumed that the microgrid has black start capability and that external generation is available for purchase while grid connected to satisfy additional demand. The microgrid is developed such that in addition to renewable, non-dispatchable...
Over the years, many research projects have been performed and focused on finding out the effective ways to balance the power demands and supply on the utility grid. The causes of the imbalance could be the increasing demands from the end users, the loss of power generation (generators down), faults on the transmission lines, power tripped due to overload, and weather conditions, etc. An efficient...
The uncontrolled climate change is one of the most significant threats to the sustainable development of the human societies. Since the establishment of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, several models have been proposed to limit the emission of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) by trying to enforce abiding regulations to the participating countries. One of the successful implementations of such models is the Emission...
