Crash event may lead to deformation of cells in the battery pack causing short circuits or contact of cathode and anode due to separator damage. This leads to hot spots and subsequent electrolyte decomposition, heat and vent gas generation and hazardous thermal runaway events. Battery state of charge (SoC) is an important factor while evaluating the mechanical response of cell to deformation and the short circuit and thermal runaway behavior. In this research, quasi static deformation tests are performed on 18650 battery cells with different SoC values to understand the SoC dependent mechanical behavior and short circuit of Lithium ion Batteries. The structural and electrical response of the Lithium Ion battery (LiB) under loading is assessed. The failure stresses and buckling loads are computed for compression and bending tests respectively. Results show that mechanical and electrical behavior of LiB is highly dependent on SoC. The results shed light on the failure behavior of the Lithium Ion batteries and aid in enhancing crash safety of LiBs and design of related systems.","PeriodicalId":6768,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"306 1","pages":"282-287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77778963","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 PVE is an alternative to controllable light source that requires a large space and highly inefficient. The PVE requires a power converter and the buck converter is preferred due to the control simplicity and high efficiency. Nonetheless, the conventional design of the buck converter cannot be used since the output voltage of the PVE highly dependent on the output resistance. A proper design of the buck converter specified for the PVE application is needed to maintain continuous current mode operation and the output voltage ripple factor below the desired specification. This paper proposed the design for the passive components for the PVE using buck converter, which includes the output resistor, inductor, and capacitor. The single diode model is used to produce the current-resistance characteristic curves of the PV. The control strategy of the PVE is not included in this paper. The results show that the passive components for the buck converter obtained from the derivation able to maintain continuous current mode and has the output voltage ripple factor lower than the desired specification when operates as the PVE. This proves the derivation of the passive components is accurate.","PeriodicalId":6768,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"1 1","pages":"293-298"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72898258","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}

Nevertheless, countries with tropical climatic condition is known for the high passing cloud events. This phenomenon has introduced technical challenges to the integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) system to electricity networks. The high intermittency of solar irradiance will lead to rapid solar output power fluctuations, which is harmful to the operation of the electricity grid. Hence, this paper aims to utilize a battery energy storage system to smoothen solar output fluctuations under real weather conditions in Malaysia. More specifically, two smoothing methods were considered to determine the required battery capacity probabilistically for a grid-connected solar PV system installed at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka.","PeriodicalId":6768,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"25 1","pages":"350-355"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90141818","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}

Two type of nanofiller, codename N1 and N2, with different weight percentages (% wt), were considered. Breakdown strength, temperature-dependent dissipation factor, dielectric constant, and space charge behavior were measured to characterize the materials. It is found that the addition of nanofiller could increase DC breakdown strength. Temperature-dependent dissipation factor on filled samples is slightly higher than unfilled sample but still below 0.4% at 200 C. 1% wt N1-filled samples shows slightly higher dielectric constant than unfilled sample, while as wt is increased to 2% it becomes slightly lower than unfilled sample. 1% wt N2-filled samples shows slightly lower dielectric constant than unfilled sample. Space charge injection threshold of 1% N1-filled samples is slightly higher than unfilled ones, while the accumulated charge is strongly dependent on the electric field applied. At 50 kV/mm electric field of weight percentages of N1 and the addition of N2 filler could decrease space charge accumulation, lower than the unfilled sample.","PeriodicalId":6768,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"11 1","pages":"371-375"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74450869","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 devised a robust REM technique that capable of monitoring and controlling residential loads within a smart home. The method is based on an improved binary grey wolf accretive satisfaction algorithm (GWASA), which is founded on four hypotheses that allow time-varying preferences to be quantifiable in terms of time and device-dependent features. Based on household appliances TOU, the absolute satisfaction derived from the preferences of appliance and power ratings, the GWASA can produce optimum energy consumption pattern that will give the customer maximum satisfaction at the predefined user budget. A cost per unit satisfaction index is also established to relate daily consumer expenses with the achieved satisfaction. Simulation results on two peak budgets from $1.5/day and $2.5/day are carried out to analyze the efficacy of GWASA. Accordingly, the result of each of the scenarios is compared with the result obtained from three other different algorithms, namely, BPSO, BGA, BGWO.
