The utilization of renewable energy has gained momentum nowadays due to the rapid decrease in fossil fuel resources and increased environmental concerns. But the amount of power available from these natural resources will vary continuously from place to place and time to time depending on its geographical locations, terrains, altitude, climatic conditions. So the energy supplied from these sources...
This paper describes an undergraduate or graduate level student project that involves the design of an energy-efficient standalone distributed generation system integrating existing fossil fuel based energy sources with renewable energy sources and smart grid technologies for off-grid communities. One such application is the development of stand-alone electric power sources for Native American villages...
Hawai'i County's is heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels for both power generation and transportation. The Hawai'i County Council directed the Hawai'i County Department of Research and Development to create a plan to transition the Island from fossil fuel use to a system based on greater efficiency and renewable energy. A baseline energy study was conducted to characterize the current quantity,...
Increasing costs associated with fossil fuel generation coupled with the recognition and acceptance of the finiteness of this resource has, in part, contributed to the growing popularity of alternative energy generation. International environmental treaties have also forced many states, primarily developed states, to consciously review their use of fuels. This paper compares governmental policy and...
Distributed generation (DG) is related with the use of small generating units installed at strategic points of the electric power system or locations close to load centers. DG can be used in an isolated way, supplying the consumer's local demand, or integrated into the grid supplying energy to the electrical power system. Distributed generation can run on renewable energy resources, fossil fuels or...
