Peak ripples in the electricity demand curve could disturb the economic generation. In developing countries, Electric Supply Companies are unable to meet the existing power demand due to unfeasible and unjustified fuel burning. Therefore, they are left with load shedding as the only Demand side solution. It is a well-known fact that the Light Emitting Diodes (LED) Lighting could be used to conserve electricity. However, LED could also be used as an energy management technique without affecting the comfort level of consumer. Electricity demand and supply curves could be correlated up to 93% through this option. Argument is supported by correlation analysis of estimated daily demand and supply curves of Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC). Estimated curves are developed through LED lighting energy conservation analysis on KESC summer and winter demand curves. Finally, from global perspective, LED lighting is not only a remedy for removal of peaks and ripples in demand curve but also a feasible solution for global climate problems through energy conservation and low carbon emissions.","PeriodicalId":164446,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (ICSET)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123257296","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}

In this work, our objective is to reduce the total system cost while fulfilling the load demand and mantaining the grid power quality, among other constraints. This is achieved by employing two particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms, the first for placement and sizing of the devices and the second for their scheduling. Three case studies — only DGs, DGs + PV and DGs + PV + batteries systems — based on the energy requirements of an Indonesian island are presented. In addition, real solar irradiance and temperature data are applied together with a residential load profile. The results reveal that a system which relies only on DGs is not able to keep the values of grid voltage within the tolerable range (from 0.95 p.u. to 1.05 p.u.) and a total cost of 5.8×106 USD is required. The DGs + PV system demands a lower cost, 5.2×106 USD. Nevertheless, the grid voltage reaches values lower to 0.95 p.u. for certain nodes during night time as the PV are not able to provide local power. Finally, the DGs + PV + batteries system requires the lowest cost, 4.3×106 USD, and is able to keep the values of the grid voltage within the desired range as now batteries can provide local power at night time.","PeriodicalId":164446,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (ICSET)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127357472","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}

Our design aims to determine the percentage quota of total cooperation's expected profit allocated to each WPP considering the uncertainties of wind and electricity prices. In particular, we propose a minmax core profit sharing scheme that considers the profit gains' deviation among all coalitions of WPPs. Then, we present a row constraint generation based procedure to compute the allocated quota with affordable computational complexity. Numerical results show that the proposed profit sharing scheme provides more efficient, rational, and fairer allocations than conventional cooperative core allocation design and requires low computation effort suitable for large-scale applications.","PeriodicalId":164446,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (ICSET)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121864905","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}

Compared with other coupled-inductor-based high-step-down converters, the proposed converter features zero DC-offset current and non-pulsating output current. In the proposed converter, one of the DC-blocking capacitors is connected between the input voltage and the coupled inductor. Therefore, the step-down voltage conversion ratio can be much higher than those of the traditional SR buck converter and the tapped-inductor buck converter. Furthermore, its voltage conversion ratio is linear, which makes control easier. Moreover, due to the DC-blocking capacitors, the DC magnetizing inductance current can be reduced to zero. Thus, the magnetizing current can be positive and negative, and the entire core B-H loop can be used, ranging from the first quadrant to the third quadrant. That is, the utilization of the coupled inductor can be upgraded. Also, due to a discrete output inductor, the proposed converter features non-pulsating output current. In this study, detailed theoretical analyses and experimental results are offered to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed converter.","PeriodicalId":164446,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (ICSET)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130720946","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}
