It is important to mention that RTDS is the brain and main intelligent core of a powerful laboratory setup named power hardware in the loop (PHIL) system as a very useful laboratory equipment for power systems studies and testing hardware in emulated power system conditions. Furthermore, considering the increase number of variable speed pumped storage hydropower units in recent years and future plans, this paper and its result assist researchers to select a proper modelling technique for implementing the Francis pump-turbine in the RDTS to model variable speed PSH units in the power system studies.","PeriodicalId":432948,"journal":{"name":"2022 Second International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120958494","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}

Eddy current brakes are wear-free, but have a low power density compared to friction brakes. Most conventional eddy current brakes on the market or in other publications run at a speed of less than 3000 rpm. The objective of this work is to evaluate the maximum speed and theoretical power density of eddy current brakes of the references shown in this work. The maximum speed is limited by the maximum allowable temperature and the maximum allowable load on the rotor due to centrifugal forces. Therefore, the maximum speed and maximum power density are approximated with a transient thermal model after evaluating the maximum speed at 20 degrees Celsius for different applications. Prior to this, the geometry data of the eddy current brakes are evaluated and the torque-speed curves are fitted using a model-based approach to approximate the torque at higher speeds. The highest power density electrically excited eddy current brake studied in this work would have a maximum power density of 4kWk$text{g}^{-1}$ and the permanent magnet excited eddy current brake of about 15 kWk$text{g}^{-1}$","PeriodicalId":432948,"journal":{"name":"2022 Second International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125676180","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}

According to the theoretical derivation and the finite element (FE) analyses, the proposed design can effectively enhance the output torque after a reasonable combination of the size parameters of main and assisted magnets, while the machine outer size, armature winding current, and volume of total permanent magnets are the same as the conventional SPMSM. The optimal results, average torque increased by over 6.2% without sacrificing torque ripple, of the proposed machine are obtained with the sequential optimization and validated by the experiments.","PeriodicalId":432948,"journal":{"name":"2022 Second International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"423 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123036472","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}

Various load cycles were analyzed and it emerged that energy consumption and installed power can be reduced up to 30% and almost up to 50%, respectively, strongly depending on the load cycle. However, if pump operation is possible only above a certain speed, decentralization can lead to a deterioration of the energetic performance.","PeriodicalId":432948,"journal":{"name":"2022 Second International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123963845","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}

Especially in rural areas, a potential solution could be to create off-grid housing using green hydrogen produced by building-integrated photovoltaics. In this framework, the paper presents a feasibility study of using renewable-based hydrogen in off-grid domestic energy systems considering several scenarios, from the current to the full electric one, taking into account various household appliances, heating/cooling systems, and buildings’ energy efficiencies. In particular, a robust approach that considers several demands and photovoltaic productions over five years has been implemented to investigate the impact on hydrogen production and consumption from the north to the south of Italy. Energy demand, photovoltaic production, and weather data of a sample house located in three cities, Brescia, Rome, and Palermo, have been used. A significant emphasis is placed on the installed hydrogen storage tank’s size, performance during the year, and recharges to face hydrogen shortage. The outcomes of the analysis highlight that some issues still need to be solved to achieve an off-grid household, especially in the full electric scenario and in buildings with low efficiency.","PeriodicalId":432948,"journal":{"name":"2022 Second International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"61 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128452742","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}

Wind energy systems are compared both for the same switching frequency (low switching frequency suitable for IGBT modules), but are considering also SiC-MOSFET based converter working at high switching frequencies. The comparison is done in PLECS simulation tool, using the PLECS libraries for different modules obtained from the manufacturers’ experimental data. The results show the benefits of using the SiC-based converter. In fact, when compared to the Si-based converter the efficiency is practically the same, while there is the reduction of 2.85 times in the total volume necessary for the passive components.","PeriodicalId":432948,"journal":{"name":"2022 Second International Conference on Sustainable Mobility Applications, Renewables and Technology (SMART)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130590913","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}
