Integrated transport and renewable energy systems

Prediction of Renewable Energy Production Using Grey Systems Theory

Due to the reduction of renewable energy resources such as fossil fuels, the energy crisis is one of the most critical issues in today’s world. The application of these resources brings about many environmentalpollutionsthatleadtoglobalwarming. Therefore,variouscountrieshaveattemptedto reducepotentialdamageanduserenewableenergiesbytheintroductionandpromotionofrenewable energies as an essential ...

Model and Control of Renewable Energy Systems

This paper presents a developed method for controlling multi-renewable energy generators. The control system depends basically on three sensors (wind anemometer, solar sensor, and voltage sensor). These sensors represent PLC’s analogue inputs. Controlling the output voltage supply can be achieved by an enhanced method of interlocking between the renewable energy generators, depending on those s...

Energy Saving in Public Transport Using Renewable Energy

Hydrogen produced by renewable sources represents an interesting way to reduce the energetic dependence on fossil fuels in the transportation sector. This paper shows a feasibility study for the production, storage and distribution of hydrogen in the western Sicilian context, using three different renewable sources: wind, biomass and sea wave. The objective of this study is the evaluation of th...

Control and Management of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems: Review and Comparison of Methods

Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) have been introduced to overcome intermittent nature of single-source renewable energy generation. In order to utilize HRES optimally, two issues must be considered: optimal sizing and optimal operation. The first issue has been considered vastly in several articles but the second one needs more attention and work. The performance of hybrid renewable energ...
