A Chaotic Local Search operator (CLS) is introduced in the proposed algorithm to avoid premature convergence. The basic strategy of the proposed algorithm is combining PSO with Adaptive Inertia Weight Factor (AIWF) and CLS, in which PSO with AIWF is applied to perform global exploration and CLS is used to perform exploitation to find the optimal solution. Logistics and Gauss map technique is used in performing CLS and the results are compared. The applicability and high feasibility of the proposed method is validated on a standard 5-generator test system. The simulation results confirm that this algorithm is capable of giving higher quality solutions with fast convergence characteristics.","PeriodicalId":129568,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Environmental Friendly Energies and Applications (EFEA)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121553630","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}

Limited sources of fossil fuel in addition to the negative effects of greenhouse emissions on the environment have led many countries to support development of renewable energies such as solar energy. However, solar power has a number of problems for implementation; the solar energies mainly depend upon sun availability and the changing climate. The focus on hybrid generation system increases the availability of power generation system by reducing the dependence on environment parameter. The purpose of this paper is concerned with the use of harmony search (HS) meta-heuristic optimization method to solve the problem of hybrid power system design optimization. We consider the case where redundant electrical components are chosen to achieve desirable level of reliability. To allow fast estimation, a universal moment generating function UMGF and harmony search HS are applied. An illustrative example is presented.","PeriodicalId":129568,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Environmental Friendly Energies and Applications (EFEA)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127120226","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}

As such enormous energy resource continues to waste daily along millions of world's vehicle paths, this paper through simple demonstrative design, seeks to redirect researchers and engineers towards a new thinking in the area of VIWG resource. Here, a self-sustaining apparatus designed around the features of simple ratchet mechanism demonstrates the ability to harness energy from the kinetic energy inherent in VIWG. For ease of reference this apparatus is referred to as Alternative Power Generating Machine (APGM). Data culled from a research work of the Ministry of Transportation, Ontario, Canada served as the source of basic data for the detailed design of the APGM. The simplicity of the APGM holds its key to the market. APGM could sustain facilities such as modern LED-based street lighting technologies, traffic lights or be utilized for electric car/battery recharging units. The machine is very easy to install and would operate effectively at safe distance from the curb of selected vehicle path. The current model of the APGM presented in this paper is a first attempt, hence has lots of room for future improvement. Recommendations are suggested to advance the current model in order to multiply the current power output. This work without doubt, would open new window into many possibilities in alternative and greener energy source.","PeriodicalId":129568,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Environmental Friendly Energies and Applications (EFEA)","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114175978","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}

After that, an inverse transformation is used to revert back to the original coordinates. Moreover, we use the designed observer in order to detect some faults arising in the induction motor. By doing so, a proper fault monitoring system is realised. We consider mainly the effects of voltage sag, stator inter-turn short-circuit and broken rotor bar faults that usually arise in induction motors.

The electrical energy produced by these turbines is intended as clean and renewable. Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of offshore wind farms is however costly and generating environmental impacts. Indeed in view of the circumstances on the high seas the accessibility to Wind Turbine (WT) is greatly complicated causing long periods of unavailability compared to onshore wind farm. To remedy this, operators will mobilize significant and specific resources (Fast Crew Boat, large boat, helicopters). The use of these vehicles and systems of maintenance can improve the availability of WTs but also degrade the environmental performance of offshore wind farm. The optimization of O&M requires rethinking the concept of maintenance of renewable energy systems in mobilizing the concept of Eco-Maintenance. Eco-Maintenance aims to minimize the environmental losses due to maintenance while maximizing the environmental benefits generated assuming the energy recovered due to better maintenance / availability equivalent to an environmental gain corresponding to the environmental impacts of a thermal power plant should have been put into operation to produce this energy. This approach is tested on an offshore wind farm. In this context, modeling the complex system (Offshore Wind Farm + Maintenance Systems) was developed. The various models show that the environmental performance of Systems of Energy Production and System of Maintenance (SM) are interconnected.","PeriodicalId":129568,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Environmental Friendly Energies and Applications (EFEA)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127272199","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}
