This paper proposes a novel matrix converter based IPT interface that requires only a single-stage power conversion process to facilitate bi-directional and contactless power transfer between EVs and the grid. A mathematical model, which predicts the behavior of the proposed system, is presented to show that both power flow and direction can be controlled through either relative phase angle or magnitude modulation of voltages produced by converters. Viability of the proposed concept is verified through simulations, and without an additional power conversion stage, the proposed matrix converter based IPT power interface is low in cost, and ideal for wireless charging and discharging of single or multiple EVs or V2G applications.","PeriodicalId":386008,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Energy Conference","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114589003","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}

However, their features do not enable modeling and optimizing photovoltaic systems with several not-stacked receivers. A literature review showed no sign for the existence of a package that models multi-receiver photovoltaic systems with beam-splitting features. In this paper, we are suggesting an approach for modeling and optimizing photovoltaic systems that involve optical filters and several not-stacked solar cells.

Different electrical sensors form an important part of the PPG as well. The paper overviews the PPG as the next power grid evolution step after the Smart Grid. The PPG approach solves a number of problems of open concurrent power market development e.g. highly-efficient energy usage and numerous small sources adoption.

This paper addresses the ring network topology in supporting real-time applications in a converged IP network environments utilizing standard Ethernet IEEE 802.3 protocol packet format. The ring self-healing capabilities will be examined. Empirical data, for an implemented hydrocarbon process automation system, will be used to illustrate the interdependency of the following: application performance, traffic mix, network configuration, and potential areas of improvements. The outcomes of this effort demonstrate that a converged IP network — for a semi-real-time process control system — is feasible, given special consideration (i.e., embedded network recovery optimization time, bandwidth allocation, traffic mix, traffic classification, Quality of Service, network availability, etc.).","PeriodicalId":386008,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Energy Conference","volume":"443 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128204392","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 study is based on an economical comparison for small power applications between diesel engine generators sets and wind turbines at the selected sites. It is for representative rural areas where wind regime is high. Also, the study extends to carrying out an economic comparison between using wind pumps and diesel pumps for the purpose of water irrigation in a selected farm. Different types of different power rating wind turbines are used in the study. Also, hourly wind data and typical daily load profile of the selected sites are used in the assessment. The study has shown that wind turbines can be used as a fuel saver in the selected sites. The savings found for the whole study period of 20 years on the total net present worth using wind with diesel system is 32 million US$ and 0.323 million US$ in Masirah and Mathura respectively. The levelized cost of installing wind turbines within the diesel system is 0.105 US$/kWh using Vesta 100 and 0.151 US$/kWh using PGE 25 for Masirah and Mathura respectively. Also, study shows that the total annualized cost of installing wind pumps for irrigating a selected farm is 1,368 US$ or 2,067 US$ if one-day storage tank is added as a water storage.

This paper presents the concepts of one of the effective tools for disturbance analysis used in Saudi Electricity Company in the Western Region (SEC-WR) named as Dynamic System Monitoring (DSM). The DSM units are linked by telephone lines and modems to the Master Station PC computer and each disturbance event can be retrieved and analyzed by Data Analysis and Display Software (DADISP) working under Windows 2000, NT or XP. Three actual disturbances in the Western Region are described and analyzed in details using the records of the concerned DSM units and cross checked with the records of some numerical protection relays to ensure the correct operation and the technical recommendations are listed and implemented in most cases to avoid repeating of the same event in future.
