Lives that crucially depend on electricity could be in extreme danger. Seismic waves deliver an extraordinary amount of power, and the current solutions for artificial structures are to dissipate the energy in the form of lateral deflection, damper strain, or isolation. This research proposes a new innovative design of a seismic base isolator that can harvest the seismic energy, which was conventionally dissipated, converted into electricity that powers life support devices during blackouts. The battery stores electricity from multiple minor earthquake which did not cause blackouts and use it on the major blackout inducing earthquakes. This design is inspired by the regenerative braking systems and suspensions used in vehicles. This research will include designs for the seismic isolation system, seismic kinetic energy harvesting system, and power generating system. The electricity stabilizing capacitor system and battery system will not be included in this research. Maximum oscillation amplitude of the damped forced system is derived by Lenz's law, Hooke's law with mass-spring-damper ordinary differential equations.","PeriodicalId":151236,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123467309","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}

Despite the potential for excess heat utilisation several barriers exist. This paper identifies different barriers and enablers for excess heat utilisation, which is based on an analysis carried out in four European countries as part of EU funded project. The detailed literature review on the status of excess heat recovery identified a very diverse nature of district heating regulations in the different countries along with different layouts of contracts and business models. An analysis of the potential for excess heat utilisation in Denmark shows a substantial increase in excess heat utilisation in district heating. The identified barriers include access to a market (district heating network), lack of a comprehensive regulatory framework along with standardising contracts, lacking sinks (end users), and absent financial incentives to make excess heat a viable option for the potentially involved stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":151236,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128572764","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}

Today, energy accounts for two-thirds of total greenhouse gases emissions, therefore, efforts in this sector are of major importance to reduce the global impacts. This can be accomplished through the use of distributed generation to meet the increased demand. Distributed generation includes on-site renewables such as solar or wind power. The optimal integration of these sources in the network requires optimization models to accurately locate and size them based on needs. This paper proposes to use dynamic optimal power flow (OPF) modeling to localize and size the Photovoltaic (PV) production sources and storage batteries (SB) needed on an over-solicited grid by additional demand, in a spatial-temporal framework. To do so, while respecting the different constraints (solar local resources, cost analysis…), a linear optimization is performed to minimize the production costs and to define the optimal installed surface of PV to maximize the individual load factor of each PV, while respecting all the network’s constraints.","PeriodicalId":151236,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130347626","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}

Socio-demographic information can be used to provide effective demand response programs and personalized services. Accordingly, research has been conducted to infer such information using electricity usage patterns which are collected by smart meters. However, collecting household characteristics information and corresponding smart meter data requires considerable effort and cost, making it difficult to obtain sufficient training data. Therefore, in this paper, we present a transfer learning methodology using datasets collected from different countries or regions. In the proposed framework, both the source dataset and target dataset are used to generate a typical daily load profile. The extracted daily load profiles are then used for instance selection step to prevent negative transfer. Also, to improve the performance of the transfer learning model, potentially noisy features are removed. The pre-trained deep learning model is then fine-tuned by the target dataset. Using the proposed method, the information-inferring performance is improved in classification accuracy, F1 score and area under the curve (AUC) metrics.","PeriodicalId":151236,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125744583","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}

Their location in the network and their capacity is generally based on optimization studies to minimize power losses and congestion, while balancing line loading and node voltages. The quantification of this impact in technical and economic terms may help define a tariff, or structure a payment scheme for DER owners, and an incentive to participate in the energy mix in systems where markets are absent, e.g. enabling third-party integration in mini-grids, or vertically integrated utilities. In addition, virtual power plants (VPP) can aggregate and coordinate these DERs to provide a single power profile as an aggregation service in return for a payment through an adjusted tariff structure. This study discusses a methodology to quantify the techno- economic benefit to the system, in an attempt to explore potential opportunities for VPP implementation. A modified, intentionally congested, IEEE 30 bus network is used, with solar PV and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), to quantify the impact of aggregated DER coordination in terms of power losses and congestion mitigation. The network management services market for the VPP considers two use cases: the offset of fuel- based generation and the replacement of ’Peaker’ plants. A high-level approach for assigning an economic value to these technical benefits is also discussed, considering the impact of the size of the VPP and its share in the energy mix.","PeriodicalId":151236,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132859239","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}

{"title":"A Preliminary Techno-Economic and Environmental Performance Analysis of Using Second-Life EV Batteries in an Industrial Application","authors":"L. Silvestri, M. De Santis, G. Bella","doi":"10.1109/icgea54406.2022.9791901","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/icgea54406.2022.9791901","url":null,"abstract":"The number of decommissioned batteries is increasing worldwide, and this growth also reflects the high demand of traction batteries employed in electric vehicles (EV). Therefore, the option to use second-life batteries from EVs is a global challenge for protecting the environment and promoting circular economy (CE) development. The industrial sector is increasingly implementing the CE principles in their business models to reach more efficient utilization of resources and sustainable businesses. Recent studies focused on the link between CE and climate change, highlighting the potential positive effects of CE eco-innovations on climate change mitigation. The present study aims to promote the transition to a circular open-loop economy for second-life batteries derived from EVs, evaluating the techno-economic performance and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) associated to the integration of a battery energy storage system (BESS), made of spent batteries, serving a ball mill machine in a ceramic manufacturing plant. In particular, the average GHGs derived from the Italian electricity mix, in a midweek day, have been considered, assessing hourly emissions. This innovative approach is particularly suited for analyzing renewable energies intermittency. To this purpose, three different scenarios were modeled: Scenario 1, with no BESS; Scenario 2, with a second-life BESS with power grid support; and Scenario 3, with the second-life BESS combined with a standalone PV system. Results showed how the use or non-use of the BESS involves similar daily emissions (111.94 kgCO2eq and 111.69 kgCO2eq for Scenario 1 and Scenario 2, respectively) and costs (74.69 € and 73.05 € for Scenario 1 and Scenario 2, respectively). On the other hand, the use of green energy from the PV panel (Scenario 3) represents the best option for obtaining significant GHGs reduction and economic savings, decreasing both by approximatively 22% in respect to other scenarios, with an annual saving of approximatively 5,916 €. These outcomes suggest that the investment for a second-life BESS, serving a machine such as the ball mill, would imply economic and environmental benefits, as well as advantages from the grid side, enabling load levelling. As a consequence, governments may promote the use of BESS through incentives and, consequently, reducing the payback period.","PeriodicalId":151236,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Green Energy and Applications (ICGEA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116087044","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}

Energy-intensive buildings explore integrated renewables and distributed technologies to improve the building’s energy efficiency, reduce utility grid power and ultimately reduce the energy cost. This study proposes a design optimization methodology to achieve potential cost savings in buildings by identifying the optimal capacities of onsite renewables and other distributed technologies. The potential cost savings typically depend on buildings load characteristics, utility grid tariffs, and distributed technologies cost. A case study on a moderate-scale energy-intensive building in Singapore has been conducted. It shows that solar PV readily guarantees cost reduction while electrical and cold energy storage currently offers marginal cost benefits and can improve on future cost trends.
