To accomplish this task, different renewable energy based technologies, such as Solar PVs, wind turbines, electrolysers, hydrogen tanks and fuel cells are considered. The energy hub approach is used for the modeling, which enables the provision of smart grid services and allows the management of both the energy generation and the energy loads of an entire community. As a case study, a community consisting of a large distribution center and a residential complex is considered. The micro grid is responsible for meeting the electricity demands of the community as well as supplying hydrogen for the forklifts and hydrogen vehicles. The hydrogen can be used directly as fuel for a fuel cell forklift, or vehicle, and for the generation of electricity via vehicles for the bi-directional grid connection, which allows the option to supply electricity during peak hours by means of stored hydrogen energy. The objective of this work is to find the optimum size of the different renewable technologies for the micro-grid considering economic criteria.","PeriodicalId":222683,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126863114","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}

So, a system approach for the interconnection of individual electric storage heaters with the control center of the energy supply company is developed thus creating a bidirectional communication between households and the energy supply company. This system architecture makes it possible, especially for small and local energy suppliers, to offload some of the energy surplus from the grid into individual customer homes.","PeriodicalId":222683,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130223797","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}

Integrating CHP (combined heat and power) and renewable resources is developing progressive advances due to the high green gas emissions from fossil fuels-based generators and the continuous growing energy demand. In this paper, energy hub model is presented as a strong solution for multi energy carriers (i.e., electricity and natural gas) for robust operation of the resources in smart distribution network. Energy hub operates different energy networks such as gas and electricity simultaneously. Energy hub enters gas and electricity as its inputs, including any contribution from the renewable energy sources. Energy hub function is supplying electricity and heat demands with minimum costs and green gas emissions. CHP presents the heart of energy hub to facilitate integration of electricity and natural gas networks. The proposed hub is scheduled by the aforementioned technologies during the different seasons of a year to minimize the costs and CO2 emissions.","PeriodicalId":222683,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125228399","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 paper a simpler and non-intrusive on air partial discharge monitoring system is described that has been developed and tested in the laboratory. This paper also describes a novel method of developing a PD emulator sub-system with in very high frequency (VHF) range. For detecting the PD signals several considerations for detector circuits have also been discussed.

Looking for some technologies with clean energy and efficient is very important in energy strategies. Learning principles and some lessons of traditional sustainable architecture in warm climate can help us to find ways to reduce energy consumption. Integrating those principles by decision makers will be useful in sustainable and clean energy strategies. In this paper we try to introduce a traditional way of cooling system in warm climate in Iran. The main objectives are, to show that, this system is useable and also, how much reduction in energy consumption will be achieved by using this system. Badgirs are wind catchers that work as air conditioners. The city of Yazd in Iran is best known for Badgir. Badgirs are built so that they can be opened to catch the wind from different directions. The air is then cooled and clean as it travels down the tower, and in turn cools the rooms below.","PeriodicalId":222683,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126117795","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}

Therefore, the energy management can play an important role to achieve the self-governing operation of the Smart Micro Grid. The distributed generators can't ensure energy for the area with the same frequency like power plants. But, the problem is to evaluate the outage (categories, time to be reconnected), how identify entities to include in the selection, manage their demand response with the existed resources (stored or local produced...) and the possibility to include other entities to the selection in the emergency case. This paper reviews some of the major challenges of islanding, and we propose a classification of demand by priority, the classification depends also on the typology of the area (industrial zone, city, medical zone...), and if contains some regional resources. In this paper we study a static area isolation that contains some static entities like hospital, factory, green houses, renewable energy, hotel, plug-in vehicles, and storage farm. The objective is to propose a solution as a Dynamic Energy Management (DEM) to perform distributed control on the islanded area and to response to citizen demand (health, work, energy for crucial industrial/hospital machines) during the islanding time, we add a new level of control in the standard smart grid architecture to allow real time exchanging status and data from a different selected entities who demand energy to a regional data center, The regional data center will be a self-decisive system and his role is to manage and control the regional grid to ensure a successful island operation. We analyses decisions marked by Dynamic Energy Management system accorded case and by local parameters.
