Reliability of a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) strongly depends on various uncertainties affecting the amount of power produced by the system. In the design of systems subject to uncertainties, both deterministic and nondeterministic design approaches can be adopted. In a deterministic design approach, the designer considers the presence of uncertainties and incorporates them indirectly...

in this paper, an attempt has been made to introduce a new control strategy including plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (phev) and diesel engine generator to control the voltage and frequency of autonomous microgrids. the proposed control strategy has multiple advantages over the recent control methods in microgrids. the proposed method applies the primary and secondary frequency control strategy...

The article contains current information on the development of energy-efficient technologies wind–diesel hybrid systems (WDHS) for decreasing organic fuel consumption. As a result review, three research directions are identified: WDHS design optimization, main equipment and control system improvements. A comparison their effectiveness is presented. methods selecting configuration, capacities lo...

The epidemics of obesity and diabetes most apparent in recent years had their origins with Thomas Edison's development of distributed electricity in New York City in 1882. His original direct current (DC) generators suffered serious commutator brush arcing which is a major source of high-frequency voltage transients (dirty electricity). From the onset of the electrical grid, electrified populat...

This paper presents an engine-in-the-loop validation of a power management strategy for hybrid electric powertrains that splits the power demanded by driver between the engine and battery depending on the frequency content. In particular, a series hybrid electric powertrain is considered where the engine is a real 6.4L diesel engine and the rest of the vehicle, including the battery, generator,...

This paper aims to address the sustainability of power resources and environmental conditions for telecommunication base stations (BSs) at off-grid sites. Accordingly, this study examined the feasibility of using a hybrid solar photovoltaic (SPV)/wind turbine generator (WTG) system to feed the remote Long Term Evolution-macro base stations at off-grid sites of South Korea the energy necessary t...

Small stationary diesel engines, like in generator sets, have limited emission control measures and are therefore responsible for 44% of the particulate matter (PM) emissions in the United States. The diesel exhaust composition depends on operating conditions of the combustion engine. Furthermore, the measurements are influenced by the used sampling method. This study examines the effect of eng...

This paper reports plasma treatment of a 5 HP stationary diesel engine exhaust at full flow-rate (approximately 387 l/min) energized by power frequency AC. Glass and Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) tubes were used as the dielectric barriers. Significant removal of NO and NOx has been achieved with barrier discharge plasma. The reactors were specially fabricated to facilitate high flow and...
