This promising technology has been perfectly applied to many low output AC voltage sources as in Piezoelectric harvesting energy, heat transfer transducers, and small wind turbine panels. Designing stabilized controllers to increase the efficiency and reliability of these converters has been an area of intense research interest in designing the required circuits of renewable energy development. A well-known bridge rectifier is generally used in most types of conventional AC/DC converters in order to convert the AC voltage from the source to a full wave DC rectified signal. However, these converters are not conductive for millivolt output level of renewable sources. The proposed approach consists of both Boost and Buck-Boost converters with two controllers in order to maximize the useful output energy from the source. In this work, the traditional PI controllers are used as a first approach. Then the Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) technique has been integrated with PI in order to stabilize the converter and improve its efficiency. Here, a comparative study using simulations in MATLAB is presented to insure the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed SMCPI controller under some external disturbances.","PeriodicalId":347169,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electric Power Engineering – Palestine (ICEPE- P)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115854580","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 parameters of these distributions are optimized based on the Genetic Algorithms optimization. The real data of Catalca which was obtained from the national metrology station for three years, are statistically analyzed at 30, 60, and 80 m heights. Root mean square error, correlation coefficient, and mean absolute error measures are exploited to show distributions accuracy differences.

Since the beginning of2020, the IUG was retrofitted by a Building Applied Photovoltaic (BAPV) power system constituting a hybrid SPV mini-grid as a partial green solution to the frequent grid outages. The hybrid SPV mini-grid is composed of 480kWp rooftop SPV as an intermittent Renewable Energy Source (RES) which synchronizes either with two on-site diesel generator units in island mode or with the centralized macro-grid in grid-tied mode through Net Energy Metering (NEM) agreement with GEDCo for billing purposes. Technically, the system is found to be resilient and capable of supplying electric power to essential loads at IUG campus efficiently. It was found that the aggregate SPV system is capable of generating a total of approximately 13GWh over an assumed 20 years project lifetime. It was found that it can also increase the overall electrical system efficiency by reducing the LV electrical technical losses and curtailing the need for additional grid rehabilitation investments. Financially, the project’s capital cost was approximately 0.6 MUSD. The Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) throughout the lifetime of the project was found to be about 0.04$/kWh which is competitive compared with the GEDCo per unit energy price. The diesel fuel consumption was minimized and the energy bill from GEDCo was lowered. Accordingly, it was found that the project shall recover its capital cost within the first three years of operation. Environmentally, the system shall dramatically mitigate the environmental impacts by avoiding about 8000 tons of CO2 emissions over the lifetime of the project which is a substantial amount of Green House Gas (GHG) emissions reductions.","PeriodicalId":347169,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electric Power Engineering – Palestine (ICEPE- P)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128899422","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 technology will be extremely helpful in improving the quality of life for many people around the world who suffer from lack the energy needed to live a healthy life. However, the cost of electricity from contemporary solar thermal power plants remains high, despite several decades of development, and a step-change in technology is needed to drive down costs.Construction of the first thermal solar power plant in Palestine is complicated by the lack of an established, standardized and power plant configuration, which presents the designer with a large number of choices. To assist decision making, thermo-economic studies have been performed on a variety of different power plant configurations until reaching good results and performance. In this paper, a robust design of thermal solar power plant as a pilot project is designed. The design starts with modeling the solar radiation for Gaza Strip location, reviewing different parts of the system which are solar collectors, receivers, thermal storage system and power generation system, and ends with designing a solar power plant for the Turkish-Palestinian friendship hospital in Al-Zahra town with net output power of 5.40 MW. The technology of parabolic trough collector (PTC) is chosen, then modeling of the proposed system is done using system advisor model (SAM) software. This paper evaluates the designed method and shows good results in the presence of uncertainty and the project achieved better price for electricity than the present price in Gaza Strip by a percentage of 3.5% in addition to environmentally friendly power.","PeriodicalId":347169,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Conference on Electric Power Engineering – Palestine (ICEPE- P)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129907155","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}
