Power distribution system in the country is characterized by high power losses, poor reliability of supply, frequent equipment burnouts etc. The traditional approach in electric power generation is to have centralized plants distributing electricity through an extensive transmission & distribution network. Distribution generation (dg) provides electric power at a site closer to the customer, el...

Battery swapping mode (BSM) is an important method of supplying energy to electric vehicles, in which the battery swapping behavior of electric vehicle users affects significantly the charging behavior of the battery swapping station. To determine the impacts of a driver’s swapping behavior on the power grid and generation cost, this paper proposes an optimization charging mode (OCM) and simula...

many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. the full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (v) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. the size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. this research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. this vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...

Mitsubishi Electric has developed a 1.7 kV hybrid SiC power module consisting of 6th generation Si-IGBT and SiC Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD). Adopting SiC-SBD enables a significant power loss reduction during the diode turn-off and IGBT turn-on. And adopting of 6th generation IGBT enables the reduction of the IGBT turn-off loss. By using the newly developed chip set, high temperature enduring g...

Since producing our first steam turbine in 1959, Fuji Electric has manufactured more than 464 steam turbines having a total combined output capacity that exceeds 23,619 MW, and has delivered these turbines to various countries throughout the world. In the industrial sector, Fuji Electric shipped Japan's first supercritical, pure transformation plant in 1973, achieving higher operating efficienc...

In today’s world, the demand for the electric power is growing rapidly; to overcome this, many power generation resources are constructing in all over the globe. But the problem arises when the new generation is integrated with the power network and distribution, as the existed power network was not designed by keeping in mind the new integration of generation in the future. The objective of th...

Stirling Engines for Low-Temperature Solar-Thermal-Electric Power Generation

This paper presents an analysis of the introduction of power quality assessment through power quality indexes within the framework of an agent-based power system control. The objective is to account for power quality in the power management of systems where the total power of the loads significantly exceeds the power available from generation. This is typically the case of next generation all-e...

this paper describes a study that starts with an analysis of typical energy demand profiles in a hospital setting followed by a case study of a combined cooling, heating, and power (cchp) generation system.cchp is an autonomous system that combines the generation of electrical, heating, and cooling energy.the driving units are two high-efficiency gas engines that produce electrical and heat ene...
