Design, simulation, and experiments on the delay compensation for a vehicle simulator

Abstract

To harness the energy contained in such unconventional sources as winds, tides, and sunlight, a power system must incorporate an energy storage device to act as a buffer between the source and the load. Since the size of the energy storage device depends upon the relative timing of the availability of energy and the load demand, a system simulation is a logical approach to the study and design of power systems using these unconventional en ergy sources. GPSS is presented as an excellent simula tion vehicle. The physical properties to be simulated are discussed and the resulting GPSS programs are presented. Some proposed applications for these power systems are presented.
