A shared pool of grid-scale storage resources called Cloud Energy Storage (CES) can bring substantial benefits to the economical and reliable operation MGs. However, investment cost CES may not be affordable for a single microgrid (MG). As solution, we propose an approach in which neighboring microgrids distribution network collaborate form multi-microgrid (multi-MG) install increase their prof...

we have used a variational approach to calculate some thermodynamic properties of the quasi-one dimensional liquid 3he such as the energy, entropy, free energy, equation of state and heat capacity at finite temperature. we have employed the lennard-jones potential as the inter-atomic interaction. we have seen that the total energy increases by increasing both temperature and density. as expecte...

This paper studies power management in a grid-tied hybrid energy system consisting of photovoltaic array, wind turbine, fuel cell, electrolyzer, hydrogen storage tank and a combinational heating system to supply the thermal and electrical demand of a building. Moreover, the hybrid system is capable of exchanging power with local grid. Thus, variable daily buying and selling tariffs are also tak...

Although the benefits of distributed cogeneration are widely cited, adoption has been slow in the United States. Adoption could be encouraged by making cogeneration more economically attractive, either by increasing the expected returns or decreasing the risks of such investments. We evaluate the expected returns from demand response, capacity markets, regulation markets, accelerated depreciati...

Maintenance is essential in keeping wind energy assets operating efficiently. With the development of advanced condition monitoring, diagnostics and prognostics, condition-based maintenance has attracted much attention offshore industry recent years. This paper models various activities their impacts on degradation performance turbine components. An integrated strategy corrective maintenance, i...
