The concept of hybridizing renewable energy sources help in augmenting expensive constantly run diesel generator in providing power. This work is based on the modeling, simulation, optimization and sensitivity analysis considering the net present cost, levelized cost of electricity, operating cost and performance of a renewable energy system having load of 20.6 kW under rural electricity supply. The hybrid optimization model for electric renewable (HOMER) software is used in the course of the study to design and optimize the proposed hybrid system. A solar PV-hydrogen system is used in which an electrolyzer converts excess PV power into hydrogen gas. The closed operating condition output of Hydrogen Tank is fed to a Fuel Cell, which intern output is connected to a busbar. The hydrogen gas obtained via electrolysis process is further used as sustainable onsite refueling. The proposed arrangement leads to dual way of producing electricity at a lower cost and also provides opportunity for future energy storage. Furthermore, the radial distribution network of the system is modeled in AMTECH software to improve the system power factor with a load factor of 0.476 in rural supply division. The reported load is used by the community, Al-Zahia-Musandam area of Oman.","PeriodicalId":308604,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd International Conference on Electrical Energy Systems (ICEES)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115873819","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}

Space vector modulation technique is used for generating PDM firing pulses. PI controller is used for controlling STATCOM. Pulse density modulation scheme brings low interference and low noise thus improving the performance of STATCOM. Space vector modulation reduces harmonic distortions, minimizes switching stresses and gives accurate control for inverter voltage.

The P-V curve of a PV system has a unique point at which power is maximum and this point varies with changing irradiance and cell temperature. Hence a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm has to be in place to make sure that maximum power is extracted. In large PV arrays one or more cells may get shaded due to a nearby building or a passing cloud. The P-V curve of such a partially shaded array has more than one peak and the algorithm has to identify the global peak. Conventional MPPT algorithms fail to do this. Recently the bio inspired particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm has shown its ability extract maximum power from an array under any shading condition. This paper uses accelerated PSO (APSO) algorithm, a simplified version of the PSO algorithm. The performance of this algorithm has been validated through simulation for different shading patterns.","PeriodicalId":308604,"journal":{"name":"2016 3rd International Conference on Electrical Energy Systems (ICEES)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129227366","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 our work we focused mainly on the preparation of epoxy (Bisphenol-A) based nano-composites with different insulating fillers like TiO2, Al2O3 and ZnO of very low concentration (0.1-1.5%), small thickness (100-500 microns) and homogeneous distribution of fillers. Breakdown tests were conducted on these nano-composite samples and their breakdown strengths are determined. The results showed that the breakdown voltage is found to vary for different nano-composites based on the properties of nanofillers.

The source and load currents, and the load voltage are assessed for harmonic distortion when the chopper is connected to an inductive, three-wire, star-connected load with an inaccessible star point. The gate control logic, in conformity with SMM, pertaining to the star-connected, three-wire, inductive load is presented. The SMM method involves generation of pulses within a half cycle (M) that have the same duty cycle (8) and are symmetrically located. Variations in the rms magnitude of the fundamental load voltage, and the harmonic profiles of the load voltage and current, are achieved by manipulating 8 and M respectively. The SMM data suggest, considerable mitigation of low order harmonics and even selective elimination of specific harmonics are possible by choosing M prudently.

Here, the effects on optimal system sizing, pollutant emissions and total Net Present Cost (NPC) have been analyzed. The optimized hybrid system has been modeled and simulated using Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER) software developed by NREL, USA.
