Policy Modeling for Industrial Energy Use

Historically most energy models were reasonably equipped to assess the impact of a subsidy or change in taxation. However, these tools are insufficient to assess the impact of more innovative policy instruments. In this paper we evaluate the models used to assess future industrial energy use. We explore approaches to engineering-economic analysis that could help improve the realism and policy r...

Modeling of Wind Energy Conversion System Including DFIG for Distributed Generation Studies

A detailed model of wind power station, including Double Fed Induction Generator, DFIG is presented in this paper. Two control mechanisms are included in the model. The inner control system uses stator flux oriented control for the rotor side converter and grid voltage vector control for the grid side converter. The outer control system is used for wind turbine pitch angle. PSCAD/EMTDC is us...

Small Buoys for Energy Harvesting : Experimental and Numerical Modeling Studies

We present the development and application of small buoy systems for wave energy harvesting (free-floating or slackly moored), to produce about 1 KW per unit at full scale. These systems are targeted for powering distributed marine surveillance and instrumentation networks, and should be simple in concept, easily deployable, storm resilient, and low maintenance. Our work involved design, experi...
