Developing an economically advantageous wind forecasting method for electricity market design with a 15-minute imbalance settlement period
2019
According to legal framework developed by European Commission all EU Member States shall employ 15minute time resolution for imbalance settlement no later than 18th of December 2020 (or 1st of January 2025 in case of derogation). For intermittent energy sources that are traditionally associated with less precise generation forecasts this might result in considerable increase in imbalance costs. This presents a unique challenge for wind power station operators as there is lack of adequate forecasting tools supporting 15-minute time-resolution. The objective of this paper is to test and provide comparative analysis of alternative data interpolation methods in order to determine approach assoc…
Self-sufficient PV-H2 Alternative Energy Objects
2016
Energy storage becomes more important as mankind switch to renewable energy, away from fossil resources. Traditional way – batteries - offer a limited number of cycles, require regular maintenance; nevertheless gravitational storage, flywheels, compressed air are mainly large scale and expensive methods. The hydrogen as energy carrier and hydrogen fuel cells are possible option to store different amounts of energy for relatively long times with low losses. Different solutions for self-sufficient sun/wind energy objects are analysed - the solar radiation collecting systems, wind power generators, and high pressure electrolysis technologies for hydrogen production and the metal-hydride energy…
Optimizing the generation system in a microgrid with power, thermal energy and mobility demands
2021
Microgrids are widely known to be the future of generation and distribution systems. This paper presents a method to optimize the size of the main components in a microgrid to supply the demands for electricity, heating and hydrogen for mobility through an Energy Hub model. The electricity production from a wind turbine, a CHP and a fuel cell satisfies the local electricity demand. The green hydrogen produced in the hub from renewable power in off-peak hours is used to feed the fuel cell or to meet the mobility demand. The heating power from CHP and fuel cell is used to feed the local district heating network.
Transmission-line model to analyze a multistage polarizer rotator
1991
A simple transmission-line model to design a broadband system consisting of a multilayered polarization rotator that rotates the polarization plane of a linearly polarized electromagnetic wave is presented. A simulation program that permits the design of the rotator parameters was implemented, and a prototype was designed, manufactured, and tested. Comparisons between the theoretical results and measurements are given, and a good correspondence is found.
Techno-Economic Case Study of Micro-Grid System at Soccer Club of Skagerak Arena Norway
2020
The photovoltaic system and battery energy storage can be used in a microgrid system for reducing peak demand from the grid and it enhances overall techno-economic performance of the system. In this work, a functioning micro-grid of 800 kWp photovoltaic system and 1 MWh lithium ion battery, located at Soccer Club of Skagrek Arena (Norway), is used for techno-economic analysis and operational load from years 2015 to 2018. The system performance has been analyzed for understanding the techno-economic operation, and contributions from the PV and battery energy storage for reducing peak demand from the grid. In this study, it has been observed that the integration of PV and battery energy stora…

A Review on Applications of Big Data for Disaster Management
2017
International audience; The term " disaster management " comprises both natural and man-made disasters. Highly pervaded with various types of sensors, our environment generates large amounts of data. Thus, big data applications in the field of disaster management should adopt a modular view, going from a component to nation scale. Current research trends mainly aim at integrating component, building, neighborhood and city levels, neglecting the region level for managing disasters. Current research on big data mainly address smart buildings and smart grids, notably in the following areas: energy waste management, prediction and planning of power generation needs, improved comfort, usability …
New Optimization and Security Approaches to Enhance the Smart Grid Performance and Reliability
2016
International audience; Nowadays, the Smart Grid (SG) is becoming smarter thanks to the integration of different information and communication technologies to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the power grid. However, several issues should be met to ensure high SG performance. Among these issues, we cite the problem of electric vehicles (EVs) integration into the SG to avoid electricity intermittence due to the important load that EVs can create. Another issue is the SG communication network security that can be attempted by malicious intruders in order to create damages and make the power grid instable. In this context, we propose at a first level a Bayesian game-theory model that …

Modeling and Coordination of interconnected microgrids using distributed artificial intelligence approaches
2019
As renewable sources penetrate the current electrical system to relief global warming and energy shortage, microgrid (MG) emerges to reduce the impact of intermittent generation on the utility grid. Additionally, it improves the automation and intelligence of the power grid with plug-and-play characteristics. Inserting more MGs into a distribution network promotes the development of the smart grid. Thus MG networks existing in the power system are in prospect. Coordinating them could gain a system with high reliability, low cost, and strong resistance to electrical faults. Achieving these profits relies on developed technologies of communication, control strategy, and corresponding algorith…
