Here, we propose to let also electronic loads contribute to future virtual inertia. It is suggested to use DC link capacitors of power supplies for this task. This requires 5 W, 50 J and a capacitor size of about 200 cm3 per installed kW, corresponding to the size of single phase DC link capacitors. It is shown that the additional power ripple (and thus current ripple) is in the order of 0.1% and the voltage ripple of the intermediate voltage will typically remain between +/-3.6%. The related control can be easily extended by adding a voltage signal to the control voltage, which is proportional to the frequency deviation. Then, the existing power factor correction controller inherently sets the required additional power fluctuation required for the virtual inertia function.","PeriodicalId":158346,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Energy and Sustainability Conference (IESC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131312823","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}

To develop superconductive fault current limiters (SFCL) for high voltage level, new insulating materials for the use in liquid nitrogen (LN2) have to be investigated. Hence the dielectric strength and partial discharge (PD) characteristics of cotton and cellulose materials in LN2 were determined. Breakdown measurements show that the materials have the same or even higher dielectric strengths in LN2 compared to the use in insulating oil. Pure cotton material reaches in comparison to the other types under investigation the highest dielectric strength. Partial discharge investigations show that the mixture of cotton and cellulose materials has the highest values for inception and extinction voltage.","PeriodicalId":158346,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Energy and Sustainability Conference (IESC)","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124206418","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}

Focus is on the electric energy supply. Results were determined under the requirement of various self-sufficiency degrees. Unlike the common calculation in the region's energy concepts, the self-sufficiency degree was determined solely by considering the directly consumed energy from fluctuating renewable energies or from storage. Thus, a bridge is built to the partly abstract ambitions of energy autarky. Further, various operation sites and appropriate storage technologies were analyzed.","PeriodicalId":158346,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Energy and Sustainability Conference (IESC)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124446522","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 objective is to satisfy good air quality in rooms, e.g. CO2 concentrations less than 1000 ppm. This is done by minimizing operation costs for ventilation plants taking electricity exchange prizes into account. An optimum operating schedule is determined by using linear and nonlinear programming methods that are related to operating boundaries, maximum plant power, air condition load by a specific number of persons and electricity prices. The operating schedule is simulated in a Matlab Simulink Ventilation-Room model.

In this case, a microgrid is introduced to connect a solar thermal cogeneration system and a conventional grid to switch between islanded and grid-connected modes. A new technology for stabilizing the system is required to handle the relatively slow response of the solar thermal cogeneration system for this configuration. Virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control can enhance the power system stability by mimicking steady-state and transient behaviors of synchronous generators (SGs). A swing equation in the VSG control identifies the virtual inertial property of SGs to rapidly adjust to a steady-state frequency. In this work, the transient responses of the VSG series and parallel configurations incorporated into a microgrid are compared. The transient behaviors of rotor angular speed and voltage are simulated for loading and tripping operations. The analysis results suggest that the VSG series configuration suppresses fluctuations better than the parallel configuration and enables stable network operation.","PeriodicalId":158346,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Energy and Sustainability Conference (IESC)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114511476","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}
