Reducing DMU fuel consumption by means of hybrid energy storage

Reducing Fuel Consumption of Hybrid Vehicles by Replacing Diesel Engines with Gas Turbine Engines

One of the options being examined in last decades in the development of environmentally sustainable, energy-efficient and lightweight vehicles is the replacement of piston engines by gas turbine engines, especially in hybrid vehicles. A lot of effort has been consistently put in design and production of concept hybrid automobiles powered by gas turbine engines by leading automobile producers su...

Reducing Energy Consumption using a Non-Volatile storage cache

We can outperform the most powerful disk spin-down algorithm available by using a small non-volatile storage write-only cache to temporarily store hard disk write requests while a disk is spun-down. In our experiments, we use a USB thumb drive device as our non-volatile storage cache. By redirecting writes to a flash memory while a disk is spun-down we avoid costly hard disk cycle start-stop op...

Reversible Energy Storage on a Fuel Cell-supercapacitor Hybrid Device

Fuel Consumption Reduction and Energy Management in Stand-Alone Hybrid Microgrid under Load Uncertainty and Demand Response by Linear Programming

A stand-alone microgrid usually contains a set of distributed generation resources, energy storage system and loads that can be used to supply electricity of remote areas. These areas are small in terms of population and industry. Connection of these areas to the national distribution network due to the high costs of constructing transmission lines is not economical. Optimal utilization and eco...

Energy Management and Control Strategy of Hybrid Energy Storage System for Fuel Cell Power Sources

This paper deals with the design of energy management strategy (EMS) for a fuel cell hybrid vehicle (FCHV) with hybrid energy storage system (HESS) using energetic macroscopic representation (EMR). It discusses the design options including power, energy, and operating strategy as they relate to the energy storage system. The studied HESS is composed of battery/ultracapacitor (BAT/UC) system all...
