Thus, this practical study focuses on thermoelectric devices' (TEDs') performance when operated as thermoelectric generators (TEGs). Sixteen identical TEDs (TEC-12706 of the same made and model) were operated as TEGs under the same experimental setup and test modalities with a hotside temperature between ∼20°C and ∼100°C and a coldside temperature of ∼20°C, to practically and comparatively examine the TEGs voltage production and energy conversion in/efficiency. The findings revealed that, while it's already common knowledge that a TEG output voltage is proportional to its temperature difference as evident in all the TEGs used in the study; however, as the TEGs temperature difference proportionally increases, some of the TEGs relatively produced less, the same and more output voltages at certain temperature differences compared to others. For example, TEG1 and TEG3 produced almost the same output voltages throughout; however, at ∼100°C hotside temperature, TEG3 produced 3.16 V, whereas TEG1 produced 2.90 V. While such widespread TEGs discrepancies can be mostly attributed to bad manufacturing/poor workmanship, they are usually misconstrued by some as a generic inherent thermoelectricity technology limitations which this study highlights.</p>","PeriodicalId":55000,"journal":{"name":"IET Renewable Power Generation","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/rpg2.13185","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143118510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The multi-megawatt utility-scale PV plant is located in a semi-arid region in South Africa. The degradation rate is determined using the performance ratio as a comparison metric between the different inverters. The degradation from the first year of operation up to the fourth year shows that different areas of the PV plant have varying degradation rates. The spatial degradation analysis indicates that inverter blocks operating at higher ambient temperatures and lower wind frequency measurements show higher rates of degradation compared to inverter groups operating at lower temperatures and higher wind frequency. Notably, the lowest degradation rates correlate positively with wind direction and frequency from the North and North-East, indicative of a cooling influence on the PV modules. The weather-corrected performance analysis indicates that the most prominent wind direction (North) has the highest mean performance ratio, further supporting the claims that the cooling effect of wind improves performance and efficiency. The widening gap between the best- and worst-performing inverters annually underscores the premise that specific inverters' PV modules degrade at disparate rates within the PV plant. The results of this work present future designs of PV plants that could potentially be optimised to take advantage of wind as a cooling tool, which may further enhance the longevity and sustainability of large PV installations.</p>","PeriodicalId":55000,"journal":{"name":"IET Renewable Power Generation","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/rpg2.13182","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143115546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The precision of the current stability criterion for DC microgrids controlled by virtual DC motors (VDCM), which relies on mixed potential theory, is inadequate. This is primarily because the criterion does not account for the control parameters of the DC bus voltage control link and the virtual DC motor link. To address these issues, the paper initially formulates the control aspect of the VDCM using a controlled current source. Subsequently, it derives the system's mixed potential function from the model, enabling the development of a stability criterion that includes the control parameters of the DC bus voltage control link, the virtual DC motor link, and the current tracking link. It also clarifies how parameters not directly included in the criterion affect system stability.

The distribution system consists of photovoltaic (PV) generators, electric vehicles (EVs), and electrical loads. Electric vehicle aggregators (EVA) act as intermediary between the prosumers and the network operators. The devised framework aims to coordinate various voltage control equipment according to their slow response (1^st stage) or fast (2^nd stage) response to voltage variations. In the 3^rd stage, the electric vehicle charge scheduling is accomplished and all these stages constitute to form upper-level operation. Further, an effort has been made to maximize the profit of EVA for performing ancillary services during EV charge scheduling. Moreover, EVAs incorporate demand response programs to enhance network stability. While 1^st and 2^nd stages are formulated as non-linear programming problems, the 3^rd stage is formulated as a mixed-integer non-linear problem. The problems are optimized using the CPLEX solver in the general algebraic modeling system (GAMS) environment. The lower control level is implemented by following a few rules that adjust the local Q(V) characteristics embedded in the power electronics interfaced devices. The obtained results exhibit that the devised framework not only helps in voltage regulation but also the EV owners and the EVA.

Consequently, electric power companies are limited to accessing only the recorded net electricity consumption. This article introduces an innovative approach to estimate behind-the-meter PV power generation within a large region, utilizing a limited representative subset. The proposed framework integrates Missforest, that is, a robust tool for missing data imputation, with a hybrid application of K-Means, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and Principal Component Analysis, for the precise selection of representative PV sites. Additionally, it leverages the Informer model, a cutting-edge deep learning-based time series model, to link the relationship between the PV power generation at representative sites and the total PV power output on the entire region. To conduct a case study, the power output of 367 PV sites and solar radiation measured at 105 weather stations in Taiwan were collected and analyzed.
