Many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. The full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (V) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. The size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. This research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. This vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...

Global climate change and fuel security risks have encouraged international and regional adoption of pollution/carbon taxes. A major portion of such policy interventions is directed at the electric power industry with taxes applied according to the type of fuel used by the power generators in their power plants. This paper proposes significant extensions to the electric power supply chain netwo...

To facilitate daily cycling of large electric generating units that were originally designed for baseload operation, the control system has to be redesigned for plant maneuverability over the operating range. A methodology for synthesizing an integrated feedforward–feedback control (FF/FBC) strategy is proposed for wide-range robust control of commercial-scale steam-electric power plants. In th...

In present work ,a boiler turbine plant is presented as a 2x2 MIMO system with high multivariable interaction having two manipulated variables namely the governor valve position and the fuel flow rate and two control variables namely generated electric power and the steam pressure. The controller for this plant has been designed using conventional PID and MPC technique by first investigating th...

STARFIRE A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF A COMMERCIAL TOKAMAK POWER PLANT. Starfire is a conceptual design for a commercial tokamak power plant based on the deuterium/tritium/lithium fuel cycle. The emphasis of the study is on the simplicity of the engineering design, maintainability, lower electricity cost, and improved safety and environmental features. The reactor has a 7-m major radius and produces ...

The main purpose of this study is to give support irrigation in dry season and reduce the gap between electric power demand and generation by using renewable energy source solar pump. Every year water level is going down 2m/year. As a result scarcity of ground water is increasing, which has a harmful effect on economy. On the other side, electric power demand is growing up for commercial, indus...

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is noxious, phototoxic and causes eutrophication. NO2 is one of the major precursors of ground level ozone pollution. Emission rates and emission concentrations of various pollutants from stationary sources of power plant emissions are calculated using Emission Inventory methodologies. Ground level concentrations of Nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollution are predicted by Gaussian...

This article presents a current and future energy situation in Libya. The electric power efficiency and operating hours in power plants are evaluated from 2005 to 2010. Carbon dioxide emissions in most of power plants are estimated. In 2005, the efficiency of steam power plants achieved a range of 20% to 28%. While, the gas turbine power plants efficiency ranged between 9% and 25%, this can be ...

The rich countries of Western Europe and its citizens benefited during at least the last 30 years from an extraordinary stable electricity grid. This stability was achieved by the european grid system and a large flexible and reliable spare power plant capacity. This system allowed a continuous demand growth during the past 10-20 years of up to a few % per year. However, partially due to this o...
