The use of photovoltaic (PV) cells in domestic and industrial applications has grown rapidly through the recent years. Constructing PV plants is a very smart measure to produce free electricity in large scales, especially in the countries with higher solar irradiation potential. On the other hand, compressed air energy storage (CAES) has already been proposed to be employed for energy storage a...

Usage of flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is a common method for frequency regulation due to its high power injection capacity and long life time. FESS is equipped by two back-to-back inverters including grid-side inverter and machine-side inverter. In conventional method, the machine-side inverter sets the active power and machine flux while grid-side inverter sets the reactive power and ...

Abstract Supercapacitors have great power characteristics and can respond to high-frequency volatility high-power load of lithium batteries. In a hybrid energy storage system (HESS), the introduction supercapacitors is an effective scheme reduce pressure charge/discharge current fluctuation battery, which reflect high density batteries extend life To solve problem capacity configuration allocat...

Large-scale high-speed mass-storage systems account for a large part of the energy consumed at data centers. To conserve energy consumed by these storage systems, we propose a high-speed tiered-storage system with a poweraware proactive method of storage-tiering management that minimizes loss of performance, which we have called the energy-efficient High-speed Tiered-Storage system (eHiTS). eHi...
