Consumers. Prosumers. Prosumagers: How Customer Stratification will Disrupt the Utility Business Model examines customer stratification in the electric power sector. arguing that it is poised to become one of the fundamental drivers of the 21st century power network as distributed energy generation. storage. sharing and trading options become available at …

A numerical investigation was carried out with the objective of studying a single stage flashing evaporation unit. An estimation of the desalted water production and cost is done. The possible factors and parameters those have an effect on the system production and cost are studied. Five main parameters that have …

This paper has presented different topologies of power inverter for grid connected photovoltaic systems. Centralized inverters interface a large number of PV modules to the grid. This included many shortcomings due to the emergence of string inverters. where each single string of PV modules is connected to the DC–AC inverter. …

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of real and reactive power control. of distributed PV inverter systems. to manage network voltage rise problems while avoiding excessive curtailment of potential solar generation capacity. High resolution PV generation. customer load and network voltage data has been collected at a number of trial sites …

In this paper. a mathematical formulation was represented for optimal planning of a developed EH considering operation constraints. The EH consists of different technologies: converters (CHP as heart of EHs. B. and T). direct pipelines (gas and water). and energy storages such as TS. The EH was developed by WT. …

A renewable energy management system has been proposed in this study to provide the highly effective control of PV smart inverters to enhance the utilization of solar energy and to prevent the overvoltage problem for distribution system with high penetration of PV systems. The real power generation by each PV …

this paper. a grid-tied CMI PV system based on CF-DABdc-dc converters using small dc-link capacitors has been proposed.“d = 1“ control was applied to minimize the peak currentstress in the converter by synchronizing the LVS dc-link voltagewith HVS dc-link voltage. A detailed low-frequency power mitigationcontrol for the CF-DAB converter was …

With the fossil fuels in the verge of exhaustion. the renewable sources are being seen as the prospective potentials for energy. The solar photovoltaic technology is one such source that can looked up to as vast research is being carried out and a significant improvement in performance has been achieved. …

The operating temperature plays a central role in the photovoltaic conversion process. Both the electrical efficiency and. hence. the power output of a PV module depend linearly on the operating temperature decreasing with Tc. The numerous correlations for Tc which have appeared in the literature apply to freely mounted PV …
