The main focus of this study is to design a novel stand alone PV-wind hybrid energy system for remote locations where grid extension is not feasible or is expensive. The hybrid PV-wind stand alone energy system shows higher reliability compared to wind or PV stand alone systems as wind and solar technologies complement each other. A Matlab/Simulink model of an integrated stand alone PV-wind hyb...

of the Thesis Fully Integrated Hybrid Voltage Regulator for Low Voltage Applications by Yongwan Park Master of Science in Electrical Engineering Stony Brook University 2016 A novel hybrid regulator topology is proposed to alleviate the weaknesses of existing hybrid topologies. Contrary to the dominant existing practice, a switchedcapacitor converter and a resistorless LDO operate in a parallel ...

This thesis presents a collection of theoretical and experimental investigations into various geometrical aspects of hybrid laser-MIG welding. The work is divided up into four parts; 1. A review of the hybrid laser-MIG welding technique with brief summaries of the three papers which make up the remainder of the thesis. 2. A paper entitled “Fundamental analysis of hybrid laser-MIG welding”. This...

An overview of research activity in the area of powering base station sites by means of renewable energy sources is given. It is shown that mobile network operators express significant interest for powering remote base stations using renewable energy sources. This is because a significant percentage of remote base station sites on the global level are still diesel powered due to lack of connect...

Modern electrical locomotives are powered by controlled power converters. Integration testing of the vehicle control system is performed using real-time simulation. The present contribution presents an evaluation of a digital real-time simulator for this purpose, with particular emphasis on switching and events, which is one of the more demanding tasks in the real-time simulation of hybrid syst...

The power generation with non-renewable energy sources has very harmful effects on the environment as well as these sources are depleting. On the other side the renewable energy sources are quite unpredictable source of power. The best trade-off is to use the combination of both kind of sources to make a hybrid system so that their individual power generation constraints can be overcome. The hy...

This paper investigates the performance of relay networks in the presence of hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ) feedback and adaptive power allocation. The throughput and the outage probability of different hybrid ARQ protocols are studied for independent and spatially-correlated fading channels. The results are obtained for the cases where there is a sum power constraint on the source and t...

Fuel cell-based hybrid cycles that include conventional power generators have been created to modify energy performance and output power. In the present paper, integrated biomass gasification (IBG)-molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC)-gas turbine (GT) and steam turbine (ST) combined power cycle is introduced as an innovative technique in terms of sustainable energy. In addition, biomass gasificati...

This paper proposes a hybrid carrier based space vector modulation suitable for multiphase multilevel inverters. Multiphase multilevel inverters are controlled by this hybrid modulation to provide multiphase variable voltage and variable frequency supply. The proposed modulation inherits the features of fundamental frequency modulation and carrier based space vector modulation strategies. The m...

The rapidly growing server energy expenditure and the warning of climate change have forced the IT industry to look at datacenters powered by renewable energy. Existing proposals on this issue yield sub-optimal performance as they typically assume certain specific type of renewable energy sources and overlook the benefits of cross-source coordination. This paper takes the first step toward expl...
