Engine block mounted accelerometers was used for estimating combustion phasing parameters for a heavy duty diesel engine. Several sensor locations were evaluated for its sensitivity to combustion related vibrations and mechanical noise. One sensor-cylinder combination was selected for the evaluation of a simple algorithm to detect 10% and 50% burned mass fraction. The algorithm uses the accumul...

This paper aims to optimize the power system design of a vineyard house in Pazarcık, Kahramanmaras. In this process, electrical energy demand is met by hybrid Photovoltaic-Wind-Diesel-Battery because remote from electric network. The located Karagol, southern Pazarcık. During summer many people stay and visit houses. However, houses are generally unoccupied winter. Therefore, an economical sour...

Output power in a hybrid power system is constant while the input power with variable characteristics that is generated by different sources. Using Hybrid Electrical Energy Storage (HEES) systems, is growing rapidly since there is an obvious need for clean energy. This paper introduces different parts of a HEES system and then proposes HEES systems which employ battery, ultracapacitor and f...

Ships play the major role in bulk transportation and they need their special energy system. This paper proposes a stochastic programing method for optimal sizing of a hybrid ship power system with energy storage system (ESS), photovoltaic power (PV) and diesel generator. To account for uncertainties, in this study a two-stage stochastic mixed-integer non-linear programing is used to model the o...

Microgrids are an emerging alternative as energy backup system for critical electric loads and have improved performance compared to the traditional architecture where a single emergency diesel generator is tied individual building. Both architectures dependent on reliability of their generators quantitative realistic comparison overall two lacking. Using recently published work finite reliabil...

because of the everyday use of power generators in iraq, which exist in residential neighborhoods, it is necessary to study the impact on soils and plants surrounding areas of those generators. lead is one the most heavy metals released especially, as a result of the combustion of diesel fuel during operation of the powered generators. however, a study was conducted to investigate the lead conc...
