Impacts of electricity pricing on techno-economic performance of photovoltaic-battery centered microgrid
2021
The energy management technique in a microgrid, plays very crucial role for making it more economic viable during the electricity energy pricing dynamics. It is vital to investigate the impact of e...
Control strategy based on wavelet transform and neural network for hybrid power system
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Journal of Applied Mathematics. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/375840 Open Access This paper deals with an energy management of a hybrid power generation system. The proposed control strategy for the energy management is based on the combination of wavelet transform and neural network arithmetic. The hybrid system in this paper consists of an emulated wind turbine generator, PV panels, DC and AC loads, lithium ion battery, and super capacitor, which are all connected on a DC bus with unified DC voltage. The control strategy is responsible for compensating the difference between the generated power from the…
Installation of offshore wind turbines: A technical review
2021
Abstract The installation phase is a critical stage during the lifecycle of an offshore wind turbine. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the technical aspects of offshore wind turbine installation. An overview is first presented introducing the classification of offshore wind turbines, installation vessels, rules and regulations, and numerical modelling tools. Then, various installation methods and concepts for bottom-fixed and floating wind turbines are critically discussed, following the order of wind turbine foundations and components. Applications and challenges of the methods are identified. Finally, future developments in four technical areas are envisioned. This review …
Multilevel Inverters with Reduced Component Count for Energy Systems
2021
Paper VI is excluded from the dissertation until it will be published. Multilevel inverters (MLIs) have gained increasing interest for advanced energy-conversion systems with a wide range of voltage levels, due to their attractive features of low harmonic contents, low dv/dt stress, low filtering requirements, low switching frequency, low electromagnetic interference (EMI), and employing low-rated semiconductor devices for producing high voltages. Further, some MLIs have a modularity feature, facilitating voltage and current scalability with high redundancy in switching states, allowing for fault-tolerant operations. The mentioned features are directly related to the number of generated vol…
Autonomous Demand Side Management of Electric Vehicles
2023
There is an error in the table of content, where publication A and B have swiched places. Demand-side management approaches that exploit the temporal flexibility of electric vehicles have attracted much attention in recent years due to the increasing market penetration. These demand-side management measures contribute to alleviating the burden on the power system, especially in distribution grids where bottlenecks are more prevalent. Electric vehicles can be defined as an attractive asset for distribution system operators, which have the potential to provide grid services if properly managed. In this thesis, first, a systematic investigation is conducted for two typically employed demand-si…
Theoretical and experimental study of novel types of solid oxide fuel cell electrodes
2016
Master's thesis Renewable Energy ENE500 - University of Agder 2016 Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) have the potential to become one of the efficient and costeffective system for direct conversion of a wide variety of fuels to electricity. The performance, stability and durability of SOFCs depend strongly on the materials used for the fabrication of electrodes as well as the fabrication process. For anode supported SOFCs, the tape casting method has been the de facto standard for constructing cell components. Furthermore, organic solvents such as ethanol, propanol, terpineol and poly-ethers are generally used in industrial tape casting as the solvent medium to make the chemical slurries out o…
