These systems are prized for their dependability and security in a range of weather scenarios. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of EV wireless charging systems: static (for parked cars) and dynamic (for moving cars). Traditionally, EV chargers have parts like a high-frequency direct current (DC)–alternating current (AC) converter that usually requires intricate cabling and an AC–DC converter that aids in power quality management. In these systems, a process called as “transformation” occurs when energy moves from a main component—the power source—to a secondary component—the vehicle’s receiver. Eliminating physical connections, such wires and charging outlets on the car, improves convenience and lessens wear and tear on the charger. This is another advantage of wireless chargers over plug-in varieties. In this study, we investigate a novel design that substitutes a single integrated AC–AC converter on the input side for the conventional AC–DC and DC–AC converters. This creative solution lowers the demand on power switches while raising voltage levels, which not only makes the system simpler but also more efficient. To further reduce the voltage stress on these switches, we additionally employ a multilevel diode clamp inverter, which not only helps to reduce the size of the switches but also greatly increases the efficiency of the system. To validate the performance of this new converter, we provide data from the laboratory as well as simulation results.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":14051,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy Research","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/er/8866716","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143362417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A system test bench was established to validate the system performance experimentally, and a comparison was made with the system using R134a. The experimental results show that the R290 charge amount is approximately 50% of that of R134a. Under low-temperature heating condition (0°C), R290 demonstrates significant performance advantages, with heating capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) increasing by up to 67.6% and 36%, respectively, compared to R134a. At extremely low temperatures (−20°C), R290 achieves a COP of 1.24, further showcasing its superior heating performance. Under high-temperature cooling conditions (35 and 43°C), R290 exhibits slightly lower cooling capacity compared to R134a; however, its performance remains sufficient to meet the operational requirements of a TMS.

Thus, the involvement of WFs in frequency control and raising the frequency nadir (FN) under transient conditions of the system will be highly significant and indispensable. This research presents a proposal to enhance the system frequency by utilizing WFs and restoring the speed of the wind turbine (WT) rotor using the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) while avoiding frequency second dip (FSD). In this design, once the disturbance and decrease in the system frequency are identified, the new power reference is incorporated into the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) characteristic as a function of two parameters, the changes in system frequency and the speed of the WT rotor, taking into account the torque limit. During frequency support, the frequency change parameter increases, while the rotor speed parameter decreases. This results in a smaller decline rate of the reference power, so that the electrical power goes below the mechanical power with a smooth gradient, not a step-wise manner. As a result, the rotor speed is restored fast without FSD. Another benefit is that the MPPT characteristic qualities are maintained during the frequency support, as the new reference value is incorporated into the MPPT characteristic. The MATLAB simulation results of the test system demonstrate that the proposed design successfully enhances the system’s frequency without inducing a FSD. Additionally, it effectively and rapidly restores the rotor speed.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":14051,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy Research","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/er/3354538","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143112051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a promising method of storing hydrogen and eliminates the challenges associated with storing hydrogen gas at high pressure, which includes material durability, tank safety, and overall weight. Much work has been done for the past decade to bring this approach closer to wide-scale application. However, much experimental research is needed to improve the volumetric and gravimetric capacity, hydrogen adsorption/desorption kinetics, material life cycle, and reaction thermodynamics of potential materials for hydrogen storage. Other important properties to consider are transient performance, the regeneration process of spent storage materials, effective adsorption temperature associated with activation energy, induced pore sizes in materials, increasing pore volume and surface area, and materials densification. In recent years, this solid-state storage has progressed at conditions close to normal atmospheric pressure and temperature, with metal hydrides (MHs) emerging as a promising option. Their high storage density per unit volume, volume storage capabilities, and their ability to reverse the process while maintaining stability have qualified the MHs for low-pressure storage and fulfilling the hydrogen storing requirements. However, understanding the principles of kinetics and thermodynamics is crucial for understanding the reactions of MHs as they absorb and release hydrogen.

Utilizing n-eicosane for heat storage and aluminum alloy 6061 as the fin material, the objective is to devise an HSE for high-power heating elements, ensuring that the hot end temperature remains below 50°C and the weight is within 3.5 kg during the operational period. Heat sources of 50 and 100 W are, respectively, employed for experimental testing. The experiments reveal that when the heating power is 100 W, the temperature in the heat concentration region ascends to 43.2°C after a heating duration of 1900 s; in the scenario where the heating power is 50 W, the maximum temperature reaches 38.0°C after 3800 s of heating. The discrepancy between the simulation results and the experimental outcome is within 5%, thereby attesting to the relatively high accuracy of the simulation. Simulations were carried out with the thickness and number of fins as variables to analyze the heat transfer performance and weight of the HSE. The results show that within the research range, as the fin thickness increases, the overall heat transfer effect is enhanced. When the fin thickness increases at equal intervals between 1.0 and 3.0 mm, except for 3.0 mm, the hot end temperature of the HSE gradually decreases, and the weight also increases with the increase of the fin thickness. With the increase in the number of fins, the hot end temperature decreases, and the decrease in the hot end temperature is particularly significant at 13 fins. Considering the comprehensive influence of heat transfer performance, hot end temperature, and weight in this HSE, the structure with a fin thickness of 2.0 mm and 13 fins is the best. The volume ratio of the PCM in the HSE is between 0.55 and 0.60. According to the optimization results, an HSE with a total weight of 3.33 kg is processed. After using the optimized HSE with a heating power of 50 W continuously applied for 10,000 s, the hot end temperature is 42.17°C, which is 6.9°C lower than that of the HSE without fins, and the melting rate is increased by 46%. After a heating power of 100 W is continuously applied for 4000 s, the hot end temperature is 48.16°C, which is 13.2°C lower than that of the HSE without fins, and the melting rate is increased by 71%. In addition, the heat transfer performance of the HSE has been analyzed, and the change law of the heat transfer performance during the melting process of the PCM was found.
