Micro-grid is a kind of distributed low-voltage supply network by integrating various distributed powers, energy storage systems and controlled load. In micro-grid, distributed power can be divided into certain and stochastic power. The prediction on supply capacity of micro-grid focuses on electric energy production by stochastic power. The wind energy power is predicted in this paper by suppo...

Power supply is one of the major problems of the banking industry of many emerging economies, such as Nigeria, particularly as the banks strive to modernize and offer quality services, such as electronic banking. This paper proposed a PV/Diesel hybrid power generation system suitable for banking. The study is based on simulation and optimization of hybrid system of a bank located in two differe...

With the emergence of plugin hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) in the automotive market, the rate of the demand for electric power supply may be higher than the projected level. Distributed power generation is a feasible solution to balance the demand and supply of the power industry. In this work, a conceptual model of a solar photovoltaic (PV) based distributed gene...

in this paper, a hybrid solid oxide fuel cell (sofc) and micro gas turbine (mgt) power system is parametrically studied to evaluate the effect of different operating conditions. the sofc/mgt power system includes sofc reactor, combustion chamber, compressor and turbine units, and two heat exchangers. the effects of fuel utilization, temperature, and pressure are assessed on performance of the h...

This paper presents a methodology for the size optimization of a stand-alone hybrid PV/wind/diesel/battery system while considering the following factors: total annual cost (TAC), loss of power supply probability (LPSP), and the fuel cost of the diesel generator required by the user. A new optimization algorithm and an object function (including a penalty method) are also proposed; these assist...

If hybrid vehicles are to be judged in a fair way, the whole system has to be taken into consideration. This includes not only the specific vehicle with its software, but also the driver and the environment in which the vehicle is driven. Simulation is one way to do this. City buses give an extra potential for hybrid systems, if the software takes the specific route and time table into consider...
