In this work, hydrogen was produced in MFC combining rice vermicelli wastewater treatment using enriched hydrogen producing consortia. Effects of sludge pretreatment and addition of supplements, mediator (lignin) and glucose were studied to determine the optimum condition for the operation in MFC. The results showed that the pretreatment of sludge inhibited methanogenesis and higher content of hydrogen gas was substantially produced. Adding glucose and lignin was found to facilitate hydrogen production (50.2%). In MFC, pretreated sludge was able to produce more fermentative hydrogen, higher COD removal and solid removal, nevertheless generated electricity was reduced compared with untreated sludge. An increase of amount of granular activated carbon (GAC) used as anode from 700 to 1200 g considerably enhanced hydrogen production from 20.02 to 73.25 % (115 to 926 mL), increased power density from 11.92 to 20.33 mW/m2 (at 750A) and increased COD removal from 45.45 to 57.14%.","PeriodicalId":164446,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (ICSET)","volume":"1 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":"125237187","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 the DCM operation, the nonlinearity between the duty ratio and the current occurs in the current command response, whereas another nonlinearity between the disturbance voltage and the current occurs in the disturbance response. Therefore, the nonlinearity in the current command response is compensated by utilizing the duty ratio at the previous calculation period, whereas the nonlinearity in the disturbance response is utilized in order to reduce the effect of the disturbance and improve the grid current THD at light load. As a result, the grid current THD of the proposed DCM feedback current control is reduced by 89.0% at light load of 0.1 p.u. compared to the conventional Continuous current mode (CCM) feedback current control. Furthermore, the smooth current regulation is confirmed even when the load step change occurs from 1.0 p.u. to 0.1 p.u.","PeriodicalId":164446,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (ICSET)","volume":"1 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":"130675649","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}

This microgrid system was designed to exchange energy among houses using DC so as to utilize surplus energy before the rechargeable batteries reach full capacity. Data obtained in this real environment were used to create a simulator that enabled us to determine the optimal configuration of this microgrid based on current PV and battery costs and predicted future costs. The simulation shows optimal structure of this DC microgrid is 4.6 kW PVs and 3.6 kWh battery per house with total installation costs of 0.5 M US$. In the future it should be possible to reduce installation costs based on the predicted PV and batteries price. Cost recovery period should be reduced by 42% while achieving the self-sufficiency ratio of the present DC microgrid. More PVs and batteries are installed, the recovery period will diminish further still.","PeriodicalId":164446,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (ICSET)","volume":"41 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":"133950832","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}

Yet, the inherent intermittent nature of renewable generations, such as wind and solar, introduces high uncertainty into system operation and may compromise the grid stability. As such, stability assessment of power grid with high penetration of renewables is an important issue. Due to the renewable generations uncertainty, the transient stability of renewable power grid can be assessed by simulating power systems dynamics with different level of renewable generations, which leads to highly computational cost. In this paper, we present a robust stability certificate that can rigorously guarantee the grids stability with respect to the variation in power injections. Interestingly, quadratic Lyapunov function approach is presented to transient stability assessment, offering real-time construction of stability certificates. The effectiveness of the proposed techniques is numerically illustrated on a number of IEEE test cases.","PeriodicalId":164446,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Sustainable Energy Technologies (ICSET)","volume":"1 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":"132896327","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}
