Micro-Hydrokinetic for Remote Rural Electrification

Abstract—Standalone micro-hydrokinetic river (MHR) system is one of the promising technologies to be used for remote rural electrification. It simply requires the flow of water instead of elevation or head, leading to expensive civil works. This paper demonstrates an economic benefit offered by a standalone MHR system when compared to the commonly used standalone systems such as solar, wind and...

A New Approach for Reactive Power Control of Single Phase Transformerless Inverter to Modify Power Quality in Stand Alone Micro-Grids with Current Leakage Elimination

Nowadays there has been an increasing interest in transformerless inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system due to low cost, high efficiency and light weight. One of the reasons describe the grid behavior is capability of reactive power control by inverter. According to the standard VDE-AR-N 4105, grid-tied PV inverter of power rating below 3.68KVA, should attain power factor (PF) fr...

Hybrid AC/DC Micro-Grids: Solution for High Efficient Future Power Systems

This chapter titled “Hybrid AC/DC Microgrids: Solution for High Efficient Future Power Systems” presents a new configuration for future power systems which is the hybrid AC/DC gird for high efficient connection of the inherent AC and DC sources and loads. Three-phase AC power systems have been in dominant position for over hundred years due to invention of transformer and the inherent character...
