Dynamic Modelling of a Compressed Air Energy Storage System in a Grid Connected Photovoltaic Plant

The use of photovoltaic (PV) cells in domestic and industrial applications has grown rapidly through the recent years. Constructing PV plants is a very smart measure to produce free electricity in large scales, especially in the countries with higher solar irradiation potential. On the other hand, compressed air energy storage (CAES) has already been proposed to be employed for energy storage a...

Air Transporta 67 . Air Transportation System Automation

The air transportation system infrastructure is comprised of communication, navigation, surveillance, and air traffic management systems, and is known as the National Airspace System. This chapter describes the current very high-frequency and high-frequency modes of communication, very high-frequency omnidirectional range, distance measuring equipment, and instrument landing systems for navigat...

Compressed-air flow control system.

We present the construction and operation of a compressed-air driven flow system that can be used for a variety of microfluidic applications that require rapid dynamic response and precise control of multiple inlet streams. With the use of inexpensive and readily available parts, we describe how to assemble this versatile control system and further explore its utility in continuous- and pulsed-...
