ThinTool: A Spreadsheet Model to Evaluate Fuel Reduction Thinning Cost, Net Energy Output, and Nutrient Impacts

Generalization of a CFD Model to Predict the Net Power in PEM Fuel Cells

Qualitatively, it is known that the reactants content within the catalyst layer (CL) is the driving moments for the kinetics of reaction within the CL. This paper aimed to quantitatively express the level of enhancement in electrical power due to enrichment in the oxygen content. For a given MEA, a flow field (FF) designer is always willing to design a FF to maximize the content of oxygen in al...

REDUCTION OF INVERTER OUTPUT CURRENT RIPPLE IN CONNECTION OF FUEL CELL TO THE POWER NETWORK

In this paper, a method is introduced which reduces the harmonicdistortion of the inverter output current, connecting the fuelcell to the AC load. Using FUZZY LOGIC-PI (FLPI), the controllingmethod is engaged in optimum tuning of the PI controllercoefficients of this converter. This converter has only one DC-ACboost inverter and simultaneously has the task of increasingvoltage level and generat...

Modeling Fuel Treatment Leverage: Encounter Rates, Risk Reduction, and Suppression Cost Impacts

The primary theme of this study is the cost-effectiveness of fuel treatments at multiple scales of investment. We focused on the nexus of fuel management and suppression response planning, designing spatial fuel treatment strategies to incorporate landscape features that provide control opportunities that are relevant to fire operations. Our analysis explored the frequency and magnitude of fire...

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF ENERGY-EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES: POTENTIAL FOR INPUT-OUTPUT AND SUPPLY-CHAIN ANALYSES IN IRAN

A Chronological Probabilistic Production Cost Model to Evaluate the Reliability Contribution of Limited Energy Plants

The growth of renewables in power systems has reinvigorated research and regulatory interest in reliability analysis algorithms such as the Baleriaux/Booth convolutionbased probabilistic production cost (PPC) model. However, while these traditional PPC algorithms can reasonably represent thermal plant availabilities, they do not accurately represent limited energy plants because of their generi...
