The methodology presented in this paper is particularly useful for those systems provided with battery ESS, due to it is ability to include the effects of the most relevant components, such as thermal and renewable generation, bidirectional power converter, and charge controller operation. From the analysis of a case study considering a diesel-powered system and a Vanadium Redox Flow Battery (VRFB), it is possible to estimate the potential reduction on fuel consumption and wind power curtailment, in comparison with a case without EES.","PeriodicalId":334135,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 5th International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives (POWERENG)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134148720","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 absence of on-site measurement, it has always remained a challenge to form an accurate model to capture this cascading phenomena considering the complexity of the interconnected network. An alarm or a prediction in advance will save the system from complete collapse which has motivated to propose an accurate dynamic model replicating the propagation of cascading using real-time data. Branching Process is one such model which captures the cascade dynamics by grouping the propagation of line failures into stages. This paper proposes a real-time cascade data generation using RT-Lab and a novel grouping technique to evaluate Branching Process parameters. The proposed methodology is compared with the standard empirical distribution and the results are validated.","PeriodicalId":334135,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 5th International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives (POWERENG)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125241588","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}

Consideration of market volatility and variance of forecast parameters (ambient temperature, energy consumption and price, water inflow) make the solution of the problem much more complicated and require implementation of new technologies, algorithms and software tools. A brief review of smart grid technologies in Latvia is provided in this paper. The algorithm of profit maximization for prosumers is described, taking into account the random nature of the state variables. Mathematical description is given in a stochastic manner. When the energy resources are limited, their optimum distribution for the considered time period becomes especially important. A case study is provided for the existing micro-scale combined heat and power plant and demonstrates the operability and feasibility of the proposed stochastic optimization algorithm. It is concluded that the algorithm could increase the effectiveness of the operation of prosumers at the conditions of limited resources.","PeriodicalId":334135,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 5th International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives (POWERENG)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133597870","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 paper investigates the ability on Artificial Neural Networks to predict individual hot water heater energy demand profile. Data from about a hundred dwellings are analysed using autocorrelation technique. The most appropriate lags were chosen and different Neural Network model topologies were tested and compared.

However, the price is still higher in comparison with common fast and ultrafast diodes with the same current and voltage rating. The main aim of this research is to find are the SiC diodes more advantageous in non-isolated converters for LED applications. From the one side SiC diodes have extremely fast reverse recovery time (reduced switching losses), from the other side they have higher forward voltage drop (higher conduction losses). In this case the evaluation of loss distribution between the conduction and switching losses is very important. This distribution may vary depending on topology, input-to-output voltage radio and output power. Several topologies are considered in the scope of this article: the most commonly used conventional buck topology, buck-boost topology and tapped-inductor topology.","PeriodicalId":334135,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 5th International Conference on Power Engineering, Energy and Electrical Drives (POWERENG)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114690346","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}

A remarkable potential for improving the efficiency of the ICE systems lies in the recovery of the energy wasted today. This paper presents an overview of the state of the art of current research of exhaust waste heat recovery systems utilizing thermoelectric generators (TEGs). Such systems provide the direct heat-to-electric energy conversion and allow building the exhaust energy recovery systems without adding moving parts to the vehicles.
