This paper provides an assessment method for solar home system (SHS). The authors devised two formulas to perform the assessment. One is called total assessment score (TAS) which evaluates system quality. The other is called performance / price index (PPI) which gives an overall assessment to systems considering the quality, price and lifetime of SHS. The assessment method allows the assessment to...
The rising energy independence and environmental concerns are key drivers in the growing popularity of plug-in hybrid cars (PHEVs). Studies indicate that for 90% of the Americans who use their cars to get to work every day, the daily commute distance is less than 50 km - or 30 miles - and, on the average, the commuter car remains parked is about 22 hours per day. All the PHEVs have in common the batteries,...
This paper deals with an application of the power balance theory in a voltage and frequency controller (VFC) of an autonomous wind power generation using an isolated asynchronous generator (IAG) feeding three-phase four wire loads. The reference generator currents are estimated using the power balance theory to control the voltage and frequency of IAG system. Three-leg voltage source converter (VSC)...
This work presents a modeling and control design for a wind-hybrid power system with a battery storage. The proposed control scheme is based on the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model and the linear quadratic regulator. The Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model expresses the local dynamics of a nonlinear system through subsystems partitioned by linguistic rules. The controllers for each subsystem are designed by the linear...
