Renewable electricity options, such as fuel cells, solar photovoltaic, and batteries, are being integrated, which has made DC micro-grids famous. For micro-grid systems, a multi input interleaved non-isolated dc-dc converter is suggested by the use of coupled inductor techniques. Since it compensates for mismatches in photovoltaic devices allows separate continuous power flow from these sources...

Ongoing risks from climate change have significantly impacted the livelihood of global nomadic communities and are likely to lead increased migratory movements in coming years. As a result, mobility considerations becoming increasingly important energy systems planning, particularly achieve access developing countries. Advanced “Plug Play” control strategies been recently developed with such de...

Renewable-energy-based microgrids (MGs) are being advocated around the world in response to increasing energy demand, high levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, losses, and depletion conventional resources. However, investment cost MGs besides low selling price main grid two challenges realize developing countries such as Iran. For this reason, government should define some incentive polici...

This paper presents a comparison of optimization methods applied to islanded micro-grids including renewable energy sources, diesel generators and battery energy storage systems. In particular, a comparative analysis between an optimization model based on linear programming and a model based on mixed integer programming has been carried out. The general formulation of these models has been pres...

To deal with energy transition due to climate change and a rise in average global temperature, photovoltaic (PV) conversion appears be promising technology sunny regions. However, PV production is directly linked weather conditions the day/night cycle, which makes it intermittent random. Therefore, sense combine Energy Storage Systems (ESS) ensure long-term availability for non-interconnected m...

Due to uncertain nature of wind and photovoltaic power units, the participation of this units in electricity markets is subjected to significant deviation penalties. This issue leads to despondency or even admission of these units in the competitive environment. With regard to this fact that the low deviations are available when predictions are performed in a short-term horizon and also distrib...

Abstract: This paper presents the methodology and procedure for flood risk assessment using GIS and flood inundation model (FIM) based on the “micro-zonation concept” in which an entire floodplain considered is divided into numerous unit areas (meshes or grids). In this study, Shinkawa-river floodplain around Nagoya City of Aichi Prefecture in Japan an urbanized lowland area, which was greatly ...
