An intermittent nature of the solar generation affects the micro-grid system noticeably when the micro-grid is disconnected from the power system through a fault, etc., and islanding operation is compulsory forced. So as to prevent anticipated problems, batteries are sometimes used for compensating surplus and shortage of the PV power output fluctuation. Two kinds of battery connections have been...
The importance of renewable energy generation is increasing with the increasing demand for energy sources that can serve as alternatives to the current major energy sources. Thus, various types of renewable energy generation, such as photovoltaics, are being introduced in many places, resulting in a sudden increase in the number of requests for connecting to the grids of an electric power company...
In this paper, the potentials, peculiarities and prospects of solar power generation system to the platform roofs of the railway station will be discussed. Based on the rough estimation, the total potential of our company for platform roof PV system is amount to be more than 100MW. While the railway premises have such a high potential for solar power introduction, they have also difficulties compared...
The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) includes mooring power systems development for the Coastal and Global Scale Nodes (CGSN). This paper summarizes the current status and results of the CGSN power systems development effort primarily concentrating on the surface moorings which include wind generators, photovoltaic arrays, rechargeable batteries and power control electronics. Higher power versions...
In this paper, the environmental impact evaluation was examined on an independently operated microgrid. For the evaluation of environmental impact, we measured the amount of CO2 exhausted from the micro grid when the installation capacity of photovoltaic and of battery was changed. The amount of CO2 emission was compared by equipment with different amount of the introduction. The capacity of battery...
This paper presents a hybrid renewable energy system integrating a small wind turbine, photovoltaic panel coupled to a permanent exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). The interconnection of the fuel cell with finite power source is going to improve the energizing performances of the system by solving the problems of fluctuation of renewable wind and photovoltaic powers sources.
Energy research is basis for wealth creation that leads to successful societal transformation. PV systems play important role in sun energy extraction process. The different PV system configurations are compared on the basis of operational difficulties in the life long energy recovery processes of the module with a view of efficiency improvement and cost reduction. Significance of grid-connected PV...
In the energy management of the isolated operation of small power system, the economic scheduling of the generation units is a crucial problem. Applying right timing can maximize the performance of the supply. The optimal operation of a wind turbine, a solar unit, a fuel cell and a storage battery is searched by a mixed-integer linear programming implemented in GAMS (general algebraic modeling systems)...
The realization of solar energy is inevitable and one way to attain its achievement is through photovoltaic technology. Viable applications for sunbelt environments using photovoltaic (PV) systems are investigated. Preliminary feasibility studies where some optimum sizings were obtained for sites of the Mediterranean area are presented. A number of possible applications are listed.
The Nimbus program is a major research effort in the development of satellite technology for meteorological purposes. Global cloudcover information is provided by sensors mounted on a 3-axis stabilized, earthoriented spacecraft. Electrical power for the spacecraft and sensors is provided by a solar-conversion energy-storage subsystem. This paper describes the evolution of the power supply subsystems...
