Integration of DC power source in micro-grid using VSI with PLL technique

2015

The looming energy crisis is becoming the greatest challenge to the world today. As a consequence of this there is an increasing attention for alternative renewable energy resources. In future, renewable energy sources will be integrated with energy storage and it will require a proper converter for integrating with the grid. In order to achieve this, various power electronics topologies have to be incorporated between the grid and the renewable source(s). This paper presents the simulation and experimental implementation of DC power source integration in micro-grid using single phase ‘Voltage Source Inverter’ (VSI) with ‘Phase Locked Loop’ (PLL) topology. Firstly the appropriateness of the…

Technical, Environmental and Economical Aspects of Hybrid Systems Including Renewables and Fuel Cells

2006

In this paper, some configurations including renewables and fuel cells are studied. Technical, environmental and economical aspects are treated in the frame of the EU regulations concerning the ‘emission trading’ issue and the way in which Italy has implemented the relevant EU directive. The study has been carried out considering some architectures including renewables such as photovoltaic and wind with a back up system to increase continuity of supply based on the application of fuel cells and of a hydrogen storage system. Performing several runs with different values of the cost of energy (COE) bought from the network and produced with traditional fuel, it has been observed that, for some…

Distribution grid analysys through PSAT open source tools

2015

In this paper a study of an electrical distribution grid with presence of renewable energy sources performed using the Power System Analysis Tool is presented. The paper describes the load flow analysis of a real existing grid owned by the Italian DSO “ENEL Distribuzione SpA” and located in an urban area.

Grid synchronization of DC energy storage using Voltage Source Inverter with ZCD and PLL techniques

2015

To increase the penetration of renewable energy sources, a proper energy storage is required. In this context, there is a growing concern about the use of energy storage for overcoming the intermittency of renewable energy sources as well as in demand side management. In order to accomplish grid synchronization of energy storage, proper power conditioning devices are required. This paper analyses single phase grid synchronization of DC energy storage using MATLAB Simulink ® environment. The considered power conditioning device is a Voltage Source Inverter (VSI), which is controlled using two methods called (i) traditional Zero Crossing Detection (ZCD) technique and (ii) the phase detector b…

A New Device for the Control and the Connection to the Grid of Combined RES-based Generators and Electric Storage Systems

2013

In this paper a new device for the control and the connection to the supply utility grid of combined RES-based generators and electric storage systems is presented. The device is a bidirectional converter that can be controlled so as to facilitate the interface between the low voltage grid and photovoltaic or wind generators combined with batteries, contemporary addressing the requirements of the reference technical standards for users connection and providing different ancillary services. In the paper the functioning of the device and its circuit diagram are described, the single parts are shown and the potentiality of its control system are commented. © 2013 IEEE.

Electrochemical energy storage mitigating impact of electric vehicle on the electric grid: Two Italian case studies

2017

In the framework of the Italian R&D project i-Next two pilots plants were realized aiming at demonstrate benefits coming from the adoption of electrochemical energy storages (Lithium ion batteries and hydrogen) integrated with renewable energy sources. In the present study the preliminary results coming from the demo sites operations are reported paying attention to the impacts to the grid.

Electromagnetic immunity analysis of a new interface device with power line communication for smart grid and energy storage applications

2013

An analysis of EMC standards related to smart grid devices with PLC port has been carried out and the standardization lacks have been pointed out with reference to the evaluation of electromagnetic immunity to narrowband, coming from other communication systems connected to the grid, and RF disturbances conducted disturbances, usually present in a power grid. In particular, the paper analyses the electromagnetic conducted immunity of a new interface protection device (ID) for smart grid and energy storage applications. The new ID is equipped with a measuring board, a STM32 microcontroller, for data elaboration and memorization, and a ST7580 N-PSK powerline transceiver. An experimental test …

BIOMASSA AND ACCUMULATION CARBON ON SEAGRASS Enhalus acroides IN GUNUNG BOTAK BAY COASTAL, WEST PAPUA

2018

Seagrass is a high level and a flowering plant that is fully adapted to life in the coastal and has ability to store carbon by 10% of the carbon content in the oceans. The research doing at Gunung Botak Bay Coastal South Manokwari Regency with objective of research to estimate seagrass density and to estimate rate accumulation of carbon from Enhalus acroides. Some the stages of the research done is density sample as long to period 2015 (April and Mei) into (September and Ocktober). Other sampling to collecting seagrass to estimate carbon storage in part like daun, rhizome root and substrat. Result to showing average carbon accumulation of seagrass in above below ground is rhizome part and h…

A CARBON CONSTRAINED SOCIETY: THE ECONOMICS OF CARBON CAPTURE, UTILIZATION AND STORAGE

Traditionally carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions has been viewed and treated as a “bad” rather than a “good”. This mental model is of little surprise due to a well-established consensus on carbon dioxide as a pollutant constraining the sustainability of economic and social development at a global scale. In the world where so many actors are preoccupied with shifting towards a low- carbon economy the very idea of carbon dioxide being a commodity (literally and not in the form of carbon caps or quotas trade, in which case a “commodity” is in fact the right to emit carbon, which is in its essence a very different concept) might be a big of a statement. However, this idea is not a mere perspective …

A Snapshot of the World of Global Multinationals – An Industry Based Analysis of Fortune Global 500 Companies

2017

Abstract For better or for worse, the “corporations rule the world” assertion is nowadays more actual and accurate than ever before, as multinational companies represent the undisputable engine of the globalization process, and the latter continuously (re)creates the background against which global multinationals are flourishing, while reinforcing their “domination”. Since 1995, the Fortune Global 500 ranking (FG 500) annually provides a comprehensive and eloquent image of the world of global multinationals; the merits of the FG 500 ranking go beyond the synchronic approach of the characteristics of global multinationals (in terms of revenues, profits, assets and employees - by sector, indu…
