Implosive Thermal Plasma Source for Energy Conversion

Thermal to Electric Energy Conversion

As research in the area of excess power production moves forward, issues associated with thermal to electric conversionbecome increasingly important. This paper provides a brief tutorial on basic issues, including the Carnot limit, entropy, and thermoelectric conversion. Practical thermal to electric conversion is possible well below the Carnot limit, and this leads to a high threshold for self...

A Fuzzy Controlled PWM Current Source Inverter for Wind Energy Conversion System

In recent years, there has been a fast growth in wind energy conversion system (WECS). There are two general types of wind turbines in WECS: fixed speed wind turbines and varying speed wind turbines.Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is one of the most attractive generators for the varying speed turbine WECS.In this paper, a fuzzy controller is proposed to control the current source ...

Thermal power plant efficiency enhancement with Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion

In addition to greenhouse gas emissions, coastal thermal power plants would gain further opposition due to their heat rejection distressing the local ecosystem. Therefore, these plants need to enhance their thermal efficiency while reducing their environmental offense. In this study, a hybrid plant based on the principle of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion was coupled to a 740 MW coal-fired powe...
