The model is built as a part of the Termonet library of components from Modelica Standard Library (MSL) and International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) library aiming at open source models for households and utility companies to help to integrate sustainable technologies into district energy networks. The PCM heat exchanger model instantiating IBPSA library fluid components is compared to the MSL PCM implementation with no fluid components and Matlab-inspired textual Modelica model. MSL-based and textual models are shown to produce identical results, whereas an account of fluid properties leads only to a slight deviation. This can motivate the use of the MSL and IBPSA-based models as control and emulator models in model predictive control applications. Essential fluid models from IBPSA library can be compiled and simulated using OpenModelica with minimal tuning, which shows the potential of the IBPSA library as a fully open source building performance simulation tool.","PeriodicalId":156687,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th IEEE International Energy Conference (ENERGYCon)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122975656","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 theory and design of the drive system is outlined and then simulated with an IM model in the synchronous reference frame using Matlab/Simulink package. The drive is subjected to different system inputs and disturbances such as step changes in speed under different load conditions, abrupt loading at high speed and speed reversal. Also, the motor parameters that vary with motor operating conditions such as the stator resistance and moment of inertia are varied from the rated value to examine the motor speed dynamics.

In fact, today more than ever, people favor the use of passenger vehicles over public transport to avoid contact with coronavirus. Carbon savings made across the sectors during the global lockdown to control the spread of the novel COVID-19 virus are therefore at a great threat. This necessitates the need for sustainable transition to an ultra-low carbon transportation system. Although, electric vehicles enablement continues to aid with transition, the sustainability of the fuel poses greater risks for pollution shifting. In this paper an DC microgrid EV charging solution powered by renewables is explored through MATLAB and HOMER simulation. A realistic approximation to carpark special constraints is calculated and a solar PV system in both S-shape and M-shape configurations is modelled. The analysis for efficient space utilisation is based on sun path data and weather conditions in the city of Leeds for a constant peak load of 10 EVs.

But connecting multiple energy sources to the grid is always a challenging issue. Herein, the combined grid connected energy generation system, based on wind and solar energy, has been designed and simulated to achieve stable and harmonic free grid voltage. In order to maintain a stable output voltage on the grid, a control scheme for power converters has been proposed where advanced PWM technology has been used to reduce harmonics and switching losses. A multi-stage inverter topology has also been presented in this article. The aim of this multistage inverter is to approximate the performance of a square wave to a pure sine wave. Doubly Fed Induction Generator mechanism is observed for wind energy conversion. The modeling framework based on MATLAB / Simulink was used to simulate the design model. A site located at Parkay Beach in Chittagong, Bangladesh, has been selected to use realistic solar irradiance and wind speed data in the simulation. Simulated results have steady peak voltage and lower harmonics. Thus, affirm the performance of the design.","PeriodicalId":156687,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th IEEE International Energy Conference (ENERGYCon)","volume":"28 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134387891","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}
