Optimal Operation of Residential Energy Hubs Considering Optimized Capacity of Photovoltaic-based Renewable Energy Systems

The deployment of multi-carrier energy systems, which are called energy hubs, is one of the most recent and useful strategies in the field of energy systems. The reliability of energy systems and their operation cost and efficiency could be improved by applying the concepts of energy hubs. The simultaneous management of electrical consumptions and heat demands by the concepts of energy hub woul...

Model and Control of Renewable Energy Systems

This paper presents a developed method for controlling multi-renewable energy generators. The control system depends basically on three sensors (wind anemometer, solar sensor, and voltage sensor). These sensors represent PLC’s analogue inputs. Controlling the output voltage supply can be achieved by an enhanced method of interlocking between the renewable energy generators, depending on those s...

Economic Growth and Renewable Energy in Iran

Energy plays an active role in sustainable development in Iran, both in the sustainable and the development aspects. This study aims to estimate the nexus of economic growth and the renewable energy in Iran during 1981-2012. We employ the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to estimate a log-linear equation. The results suggest that renewable energy consumption is an insignificant driv...
