A solar breeder is a solar power plant that uses its own energy to build more solar power plants of this kind. Such a plant could become not only energy self-sufficient but a major supplier of new energy. Solar cells and modules usually show a gradual performance decline when deployed outdoors and exposed to environmental conditions. For this reason and in the context of the Sahara Solar Energy Research Center; five technologies of PV modules were installed in last December 2013 in the University of Saida to measure the performance characteristics and maximum output power of solar cells and modules. This system continuously acquires current, voltage and power from these five PV modules, which are automatically stored and later analyzed. In this paper a description of the PV measurement system based on outdoor module I-V curve installed in Saida and underground temperature measurement are presented.","PeriodicalId":129568,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Environmental Friendly Energies and Applications (EFEA)","volume":"14 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":"133054520","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}

The model computational domain includes anode and cathode flow channels, gas diffusion layers, membrane and catalyst layers. Both anode and cathode mass and momentum transport phenomena in the flow channels, gas diffusion layers (GDLs) and porous electrodes are included in this study. A Computational Fluid Dynamics code using the finite element method (FEM) is applied on the studied domain. Water analysis in the membrane will be discussed in further works. Mass transfer analysis focused on the air flow velocity parameter, a range of values is applied to observe its effect Simulation results show an important molar concentration of water in the cathode side compared to a low one in the anode side. A good oxygen concentration is obtained with an air flow velocity of 0.5 m/s, increasing this value may cause the membrane flooding phenomena.","PeriodicalId":129568,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Environmental Friendly Energies and Applications (EFEA)","volume":"49 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":"123386621","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}

So that their output voltage must be increased to approximately a few hundred volts to be suitable for vehicles power trains or for any industrial application. Therefore a dc-dc power converter is required to set up the fuel cell voltage to high voltage DC bus. In this paper, analysis, implementation and control of a dc-dc converter structure called two phases interleaved Boost converter (IBC) will be presented. This topology is widely used to reduce the input current ripples and reduce the size of passive component with high efficiency for fuel cell applications. The control of the IBC converter is designed by dual loop control that contains a voltage loop with a linear PI controller and a fast current loop with a non-linear sliding controller to ensure excellent performance results. The control loop has been validated by experimental results using small-scale test bench with dSPACE-1104 card.","PeriodicalId":129568,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Environmental Friendly Energies and Applications (EFEA)","volume":"235 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":"121038770","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}

The numerical model simulates the effect of the operating and meteorological parameters of Northern Egypt area on the total performance of each component of the plant. A study of the operating parameters of the PTC performance was also presented in this paper. The plant uses the Therminol-VP1 as a storage media and also as a heat transfer fluid with flow rate ranges from 0.9 to 1.8 kg/s for the solar collectors. It's used also as a heat source for the ORC and the absorption chiller with a flow rate range from 0.3 to 0.9 kg/s. This paper presents four operating modes for the plant which are electric generation, cooling, heating and electric generation with heating modes. The model studies also the effect of these operating modes on the plant performance. The simulation model proves that the PTC produces a maximum thermal power of about 70 and 115 KW in winter and summer respectively. It proved also that the designed plant collect thermal energy ranges from 640 KWh to 1186 KWh during the first six months from Jan to Jun, respectively.

The realisation of the substantial unexploited hydrokinetic energy of tides is currently driving hydrokinetic turbine research. In contrast to wind turbines, tidal technology has not yet reached maturity and new designs are required in order to take into account cavitation, leading edge roughness, and the high energy density of flowing water. In particular, reinforced blade structures are required to deal with the high hydrodynamic loads experienced by tidal turbines. In this research, the potential benefit of using bend-twist adaptive blades on tidal turbines in order to reduce hydrodynamic loads is explored. A Tidal Turbine Hydrodynamic code (TTHydro) capable of simulating tidal turbines equipped with adaptive blades is developed and validated. It is found that employing bend-twist adaptive blades on variable-speed pitch-controlled tidal turbines reduces both power and loads. It was also observed that a substantial reduction of hydrodynamic loads could be achieved at the price of a small power loss.","PeriodicalId":129568,"journal":{"name":"3rd International Symposium on Environmental Friendly Energies and Applications (EFEA)","volume":"32 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":"132509526","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, a flatness control has been used in this study, which permits the entire description of the state's trajectories, and so to improve the dynamic response of those systems. A design for a renewable-energy hybrid power plant that is fed by a wind turbine and fuel cell with a supercapacitor as auxiliary power source has been presented in this study.

Subsequently, simulation and experiment are carried out for two typical faults of the converter: intermittent gate-misfiring fault and open-circuit fault. Finally, since the machine speed is usually required for the calculation of characteristic frequencies of most faults in the induction machine, it is estimated on the basis of the slot frequency component in the spectral of stator current and total input power.
