Electron transfer mechanism in Shewanella loihica PV-4 biofilms formed at graphite electrode
2012
Abstract Electron transfer mechanisms in Shewanella loihica PV-4 viable biofilms formed at graphite electrodes were investigated in potentiostat-controlled electrochemical cells poised at oxidative potentials (0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl). Chronoamperometry (CA) showed a repeatable biofilm growth of S. loihica PV-4 on graphite electrode. CA, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and its first derivative shows that both direct electron transfer (DET) mediated electron transfer (MET) mechanism contributes to the overall anodic (oxidation) current. The maximum anodic current density recorded on graphite was 90 μA cm − 2 . Fluorescence emission spectra shows increased concentration of quinone derivatives and riboflavi…
Diagnostic of Supercapacitors based on State Estimation through Extended Kalman Filter
This thesis aimed to analyze the supercapacitor behavior to verify the possibility of the estimation of its internal parameters for diagnostic purposes. The target has been reached firstly by a theoretical analysis which showed that the crucial parameters for diagnostic purposes are the voltage of the non-linear capacitance, since it gives a measure of the stored charge, and the parasitic resistance which limits the maximum allowable current and influences losses. Secondly it has been verified when a supercapacitor parameters are observable and finally an extended Kalman filter to obtain such parameters has been set up. The Thesis demonstrated that a supercapacitor can be modelled by a 2-br…
Fuzzy logic controller and game theory based distributed energy resources allocation
2020
Energy management and demand control through conventional energy generation sources are challenging for energy providers. Distributed energy resources (DERs) allocation near load centers may provide a suitable solution. The main contribution of the paper improves the voltage profile and reduce the active and reactive power losses in the distribution network. DERs are integrated with IEEE 33 bus system using fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and game theory for two different cases with unity and 0.9 power factor (PF) and compares with conventional methods of integration (i.e., modified novel method, power loss sensitivity method, voltage sensitivity analysis method). The capacity of DERs is optim…
