exergy analysis of an integrated molten carbonate fuel cell-turbo expander-steam turbine hybrid cycle has been presented in this study. the proposed cycle has been used as a sustainable energy approach to provide a micro hybrid power plant with high exergy efficiency. to generate electricity by the mentioned system, an externally reformed molten carbonate fuel cell located upstream of the combi...

In this paper a hybrid active DC line conditioner for fluctuations and ripples reduction in voltage and current of DC power systems is proposed. Malfunctions in operation of equipments and systems which are supplied by low quality distribution power systems are one of the main effects of DC voltage ripple. In the proposed configuration a hybrid system including series and shunt active line ...

The hybrid AC-DC microgrid (HMG) architecture has the merits of both DC and AC coupled structures. Microgrids are subject to intermittence when the renewable sources are used. In the HMG, since power fluctuations occur on both subgrids due to varying load and unpredictable power generation from renewable sources, proper voltage and frequency regulation is the critical issue. This article propos...

a hybrid hydro/wind/photovoltaic base on hydrogen storage system is designed to supply power demand of pump stations. the aim of this design is minimization of net present cost of the hybrid system. optimization problem is subject to reliable supply of the demand. the system is investigated in the north west of iran (meshkinshahr) and the local data is applied. about 12 pump stations are found ...

This paper introduces a novel concept of mini-hybrid solar power plant integrating a field of solar concentrators, two superposed Organic Rankine -CyclesIORC) and a (bio)Diesel engine. Turbines for the Organic Rankine Cycles are hermetic scroll expandergenerators. Sun tracking solar collectors are composed of rows of flat mirroi bands (CEP) arranged in a plane, which focus the solar energy onto...

. As the power dissipation becomes an important design constraint, especially in embedded systems, early and accurate power estimation is compulsory. The early power estimation dictates the design to meet the required specifications. In this paper, we describe efficient power modeling technique for embedded processors at higher level. We also present power models of two different processors usi...

This paper investigates the simulation of a hybrid desalination system composed of multi-effect evaporation with thermal vapour compression desalination (METVC) and reverse osmosis (RO) plant. The hybrid desalination system is also integrated with a gas turbine power plant through a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). First, a comprehensive Thermodynamic model for HRSG, METVC, and RO are deve...

Renewable energy provides twenty percent of electricity generation worldwide. Hydroelectric power is the cheapest way to generate electricity today. It is a renewable source of energy and provides almost one-fifth of electricity in the world. Also, it generates electricity using a renewable natural resource and accounting for six percent of worldwide energy supply or about fifteen percent of th...
