It is found that PV cooilng increases the electricity production and the extra heat to be absorbed by the coolant extracting thermal output. This system is called hybrid PT/Thermal system where water and air can be used as the heat extraction medium. This paper provided a study on the thermal and electrical performance of PV panel with different types of water cooling system. Ordinary water and active pot evaporative cooling water was used to flow over the panel surface. The effects of solar radiation, inlet, outlet water temperature, water flow over PV panel were analysed. The electrical and thermal efficiency of PV panels were studied with respect to different cooling system. The results shows that electrical and thermal efficiency of the evaporative pot water cooled PV panel is higher than the ordinary water cooling, Traditional Cooling PV panel.","PeriodicalId":215798,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Energy Efficient Technologies for Sustainability (ICEETS)","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128614029","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}

Generally, in stiff system, the instantaneous symmetrical component theory is used to generate the reference compensator currents. However, this is not useful directly in non-stiff systems. In order to improve the compensator performance for non-stiff source and to achieve desired load compensation, positive sequence extraction based state feedback using Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is proposed. The switching sequence for VSI is generated using hysteresis current control (HCC) technique and for effectively nullifying the high frequency switching components from terminal voltages and source currents, shunt filter capacitors are used. The results are verified for unbalanced and nonlinear load condition. The proposed theory gives desired load compensation with the undistorted terminal voltages under balanced source conditions. The results are extracted using extensive digital simulations performed in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.","PeriodicalId":215798,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Energy Efficient Technologies for Sustainability (ICEETS)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128672818","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}

Other than hydro power, many such energy sources like wind and solar energy is highly potential sources to meet our energy demands. Systems which uses two or more renewable energy sources is is better than the single source system in terms of cost, efficiency and reliability. Standalone Wind/solar hybrid generation system offers a reliable and better solution to distributed generation for remote areas and localities where power from grid is not available. Natural energy-based power generation systems are always equipped with storage batteries to give constant output irrespective of the natural energy variation. There are chances of battery getting overcharged. For the Standalone type of generation installation of dump load is necessary to prevent the overcharging by proper utilisation of dump power. Elimination of dump load by adding a Pumped Storage Hydroplant is aimed here. The plant will not only dissipate the excess wind energy but also takes part in power generation when demanded for.

The voltage based control of a Smart Transformer allows the control of active power flow between a utility grid and a microgrid at the point of common coupling (PCC). This paper addresses the control of the active power flow between two microgrids in an islanded mode and also between two microgrids in the grid connected mode with and without encouraging the participation of the utility grid. Here, we utilize the voltage based control on a thyristor controlled on load tap changing transformer which makes the Smart Transformer concept even more smart. The thyristor based Smart Transformer at the PCC enables faster switching and minimizes the arcing problems of a normal on-load tap changing transformer. The distributed generation units in the microgrid should be equipped with a voltage-based droop control strategy which reacts on the voltage change, making the Smart Transformer an element that controls power exchange without the need for any communication to other elements in the microgrid. The experimental simulations performed in MATLAB/SIMULINK follow that a smart transformer allows the power flow control between two microgrids.","PeriodicalId":215798,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Energy Efficient Technologies for Sustainability (ICEETS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129045482","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}

TPB is one of the most widely cited and applied theories in explaining human behaviors in environmental matters. In the TPB model, intention to act is primarily determined by three psychological constructs: Attitude towards the behavior, Subjective Norm (SN) and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC). Data were collected from 130 students studying in ninth and tenth grades in three schools in New Delhi and Bengaluru. The mean age of the students was 14.66 years (SD=0.76). Structural Equation Modeling with Amos 21 software was used in the study. The constructed TPB model was able to explain 71% (R2=.71) of the variance in the students' intentions to use bioenergy. The structural model also showed overall acceptable fit to the data. It appeared that SN was the only independent variable that had the strongest and statistically significant positive impact on the Indian students' intentions to use bioenergy. Other independent variables such as Attitude and PBC showed insignificant and negligible effects on the students' intentions to use bioenergy. The results indicated that social factors would be the main determinant of the Indian students' intentions to use bioenergy, whereas the personal factors (i.e. Attitude and PBC) would be irrelevant. Findings from the study could be useful for bioenergy policy makers and researchers in the field of environmental psychology.","PeriodicalId":215798,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on Energy Efficient Technologies for Sustainability (ICEETS)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128882246","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 major applications of these composites are in electronic industry, automobile industry and aerospace industry. In this work, a glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite is fabricated using epoxy polymer Araldite LY556 matrix reinforced with 12 layers of glass fibers and properties such as tensile strength and hardness are measured. Generally, drilling of GFRP composites is difficult unlike traditional materials due to anisotropic nature.
