Case Study Feasibility Analysis of Renewable Energy Supply Systems in a Small Grid Connected Resort By Jody Robins Dr. Robert Woods, Committee Chair Professor of Hotel Management University of Nevada, Las Vegas This paper presents a case study on the feasibility of a small grid connected resort in the marine west coast climate of Canada to implement a renewable energy supply system. The current...

This paper presents a simulation and mathematical model of stand-alone solar-wind-diesel based (HES). A power management system is designed for multiple energy resources in a stand-alone hybrid energy system. Both Solar photovoltaic and wind energy conversion system consists maximum power point tracking (MPPT), voltage regulatio basic power electronic interfaces. An additional diesel generator ...

Solar energy is one of the freely available renewable sources of energy and abundant in almost every part of the world. It is the most fundamental among the alternative sources of energy. With a view to collect energy from the sun, it is necessary to predict the sun position relative to the collection device. In this paper, an attempt has been taken to track the exact location of the sun for an...

A hybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) solar system integrates photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies into one single solar energy device, with dual generation of electricity and heat energy. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the potential for introduction of the PV/T technology into Northern China. For this purpose, outdoor experiments were conducted on a prototype of a PV/T water...

This paper gives an overview of various electric machines for application to renewable energy harvesting, and reveals the corresponding challenges and research opportunities. After introducing various renewable energies and electric machines, the concept of renewable energy machines is coined. Then, the existing machines, including the DC, induction and synchronous types, for renewable energy h...

abstract the aim of this study was to determine the input–output energy consumption in different levels of tomato production. the data used in the study were obtained from 140 tomato growers in different villages of marand township by using a face to face questionnaire. the results showed that the amount of energy consumed in tomato production was 65.2 gjha-1 which about 51% of this was generat...

this paper presents a formulation of unit commitment for thermal units integrated with wind and solar energy systems and electrical vehicles with emphasizing on mixed integer nonlinear programming (minlp). the renewable energy resources are included in this model due to their low electricity cost and positive effect on environment. as well as, coordinated charging strategy of electrical vehicle...

Decoupling the environmental attributes of renewable energy (RE) generation from the physical unit of energy is an innovative mechanism for marketing green or renewable power. The introduction of ‘Tradable Renewable Energy Credits’ (TRECs) allows the green power attributes to be sold or traded separately from the physical unit of energy. Since the green power certificate system removes potentia...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques are increasingly used in various area due to their capability of handling complex systems specificities. Among the techniques of AI, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) technique plays an important role. This technique is used in this work to perform important tasks encountered in Photovoltaic systems and in Wind Energy Systems: a) Maximum Power Point Tracki...
