Additionally, solar panels are dependent on the availability of sunlight which is limited to a certain time of the day. An alternative approach is to use wave energy based navigational buoys which depend on the energy generated by surface waves in the ocean. For large-scale exploitation of the offshore wave energy source, navigational buoys require turbines which should be able to withstand varying pressures while simultaneously react to the pressure difference of the waves, thereby generating electricity. In this paper, an optimized design for unidirectional impulse turbine previously used in a Backward Bent Ducted Buoy (BBDB) has been proposed. The proposed design has higher structural strength while maintaining the basic performance capabilities. It was observed that using aluminum alloy AlSi7 Mg0.6 instead of conventionally used polycarbonate material improves the structural strength of the designed turbine while maintaining it’s weight (~9 % increase) so that the problem of inertia while self initiating is kept at bay. The analysis of the rotor for the stresses was carried out using Ansys 18.2.","PeriodicalId":106388,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 7th International Energy Conference (ENERGYCON)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131008107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These sensors might be used for continuous monitoring such as temperature monitoring or might be used for event triggers such as when the temperature exceeds a certain threshold an alarm should be fired. The sensors in WSN communicate wirelessly with a target to transmit the sensed data to the base station. The base station will upload the data to the internet to be analyzed in the control station. One of the most efficient routing mechanisms is clustering. Clustering splits the network into clusters with cluster head assignment to each cluster. The cluster head is responsible for all intra-cluster communication. In a crisis case scenario, one or more sensors might be non-functional. In case the cluster head is non-functional then the whole cluster will be disconnected. This paper proposes a new weighted cluster routing protocol for WSN network. In a crisis scenario, the proposed protocol ensures an end-to-end connection by selecting a redundant cluster head also known as a secondary cluster head. The secondary cluster head will take over the role of the primary cluster head in case it is non-functional. Using MATLAB, a simulation for the proposed protocol is carried. It studies the effect of variant variables on cluster formation, primary cluster head selection, and secondary cluster head selection.","PeriodicalId":106388,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE 7th International Energy Conference (ENERGYCON)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132116909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, studies were carried out on the rationality of converting a car from an internal combustion engine to an EV with the calculation of the payback period of the converted car. Considered the main components of the EV configuration. The calculation of the power of the electric motor for the selected electric vehicle has been carried out. The calculation of the economic indicators of the conversion of the ZAZ Lanos-pickup car into EV has been carried out. The calculation results show that in the 3rd year of operation of the converted vehicle, a payback of the costs incurred will be obtained. The graphical dependence of the traction motor power on the EV speed is built. Calculations are carried out and the dependence of the traction motor power on the road slope when the EV is moving at a certain speed is built. Re-equipment of cars with internal combustion engines into EVs is expedient and cost-effective to implement for companies engaged in a variety of services for the delivery of goods within the city.

The oscillations of the generator’s angular velocities, varying in time and causing the power network’s non-linearity in transient configurations of the power system under the condition of the single-shot automatic line reclosing, are mathematically simulated. The transient parameters, such as the synchronous, asynchronous, damping torques, angles of transient electromotive forces, are simulated under the impact of automatic voltage and frequency regulation. The transient voltage stability estimation values are determined to assess the transient structures influenced by the continuous disturbance of angular velocities of the generators operating in the multi-machine power system.

However, interactions of multiple DC - DC and AC - DC converters in the nano grid make challenges in the stability of the system and control of it. Constant power loads are one of the main challenges since they are highly nonlinear and they behave as negative resistor from the feeder-side point of view.

This work evaluates various discrete double auction mechanisms, i.e., Average, VCG, Trade reduction, and McAfee's for multiple microgrids. By doing this, the trading algorithm provides players more flexibility to decide from the types of double auctions available. We further study properties such as individual rationality, balanced budget, truthfulness, and economic efficiency associated with energy trading.
