For better reliability, this paper elaborates a comparative study using the Finite Element tool ANSYS – MAXWELL for the Direct Drive Permanent Magnet Synchronous & Asynchronous Generators (i.e. DDPMSG & DDPMIG). The purpose of this study is to compare the essential characteristics (e.g. radial flux density, cogging torque, induced flux linkage, power estimation) of the mentioned generators. This analysis focus on the effect of the double layer armature winding, which is an interested methodology to mitigate the Fourier harmonics for induced Electro-Motive Force (EMF), and to minimize the cogging torque for both machines.","PeriodicalId":426643,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Renewable Energies for Developing Countries (REDEC)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125616526","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 intends to introduce the development of smart and practical GRASS guidelines and a user-friendly web page GRASS tool, based on criteria’s assessment and calculations. These guidelines and tools include the development of two Reference Guides and two Guidelines, for Residential Buildings and Non-Residential Buildings; their purpose is to establish a guidance document when submitting for the GRASS Rating System. Throughout this paper, Certification process, GRASS assessment criteria, maximum achievable scoring, GRASS Award Rating, GRASS Framework, and Credit Allocation are illustrated, as well as the GRASS tool calculation process.","PeriodicalId":426643,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Renewable Energies for Developing Countries (REDEC)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131522140","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 work addresses dynamic modeling, control and performance analysis of a PV/Batteries/Ultra capacitor hybrid energy system connected to a DC load in a remote house located around the town of Rouyn Noranda (Quebec-Canada) during one day in winter period. The P&O MPPT control is used to extract the maximum power of a photovoltaic generator which is considered as the main energy source of the hybrid system. In this paper, batteries and ultra-capacitors (UC) are serving as an energy storage system (ESS) and a main source in winter period. The UC are used for facing high frequency variations of the load, such as in transient state, while the batteries are in charge of slow load/source variations. Classical control of battery current and ultra-capacitor current allows choosing the suitable storage element in order to face correctly the production/ consummation variations. Classical PI control strategy is proposed in manner to stabilize the DC bus voltage by controlling the attached DC/DC bidirectional converters. Simulations during 00 AM to 3 PM (during a snowy day) are carried out using Matlab/Simulink which confirm the good performances of the hybrid system and associated control systems.","PeriodicalId":426643,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Renewable Energies for Developing Countries (REDEC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114281390","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}

Many demand response programs (DRP) are used for this purpose. The thermostatically controlled load (TCL) are the most efficient programs used for DSM and especially for ancillary services. In this work, we study the heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) system as one of appliances that fall under the category of TCL. In literature, the chiller power variation due to direct control of HVAC supply fan speed is not considered for DSM. This paper fills this gap and increases the participation capacity of HVAC. Therefore, the HVAC system is remodeled in order to express with more accuracy the chiller power variation. The new model relates the chilled water temperature to the leaving air temperature. Simulation results shows the improvement provided by this method.","PeriodicalId":426643,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Renewable Energies for Developing Countries (REDEC)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131540319","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}
