Renewables and Efficiency

Electric vehicles’ chargers are seen to be beneficial for both consumers and grid. In this paper. the use of EVs on the Microgrid performance was explored. A multi-objective optimization problem comprising the amount of charging discharging cost. power loss and voltage profile was developed. Differential Evolution algorithm was adopted to …

Wind energy stands out as one of the most mature renewable energies. in terms of technological development and diffusion. The socioeconomic and environmental benefits. which arise from its emergence. have triggered an increasing interest of practitioners. Concerning the socioeconomic field. the quantification of the impact of renewable energies in the …

In this paper. the impact of PV as an RES on the distribution network and the associated penetration issues in the electrical system has been comprehensively presented. The importance of PV as a significant source of power and its generation capability is shown as a prelude in this review. The …

In this paper. the fuel cost objective function of the IEEE30 bus system is optimized considering different operating conditions of the power system under study. in first time we consider the system without any renewable source. then the Wind farms penetration in the IEEE 30 bus can reduce efficiently the …

The paper analyses the energy percentage difference between the tracking and fixed structure PV systems and the daily PR for the systems installed at the IIT-Kanpur. It has been observed that the energy percentage difference is significantly lower than the simulated value acquired by PVSyst for two of the technologies. …

Electricity transmission and distribution (T&amp.D) networks carry electricity from generation sites to demand sites. With the increasing penetration of decentralised and renewable energy systems. in particular variable power sources such as wind turbines. and the rise in demand-side technologies. the importance of innovative products has never been greater. Eco-design approaches …

The accurate and efficient evaluation of performance degradation of PV technologies is the next logical step to reaping the benefits of PV. as new. more efficient technologies emerge with unstudied and undefined durability and weatherability. Understanding of the performance degradation under real operating conditions is a key requirement for their …

The paper has given an overview of different power electronic converters in WTSs with special attention paid to the many possible topologies at low voltage and medium voltage. An important trend is that the technology is moving toward a higher power level. and it is inevitable that it goes for …

The fault diagnosis of wind converter is in continuous development in recent years. It reduces the downtime and maintenance cost of WECS. and improves the system availability and operational safety. This paper has surveyed typical fault modes of the fragile components in wind converter and has provided a comprehensive review …
