چکیده
The growing interest in the use of energy storage systems to improve the performance of 9 tramways has prompted the development of control techniques and optimal storage devices, 10 displacement, and sizing to obtain the maximum profit and reduce the total installation cost. 11 Recently, the rapid diffusion of renewable energy generation from photovoltaic panels has also 12 created a large interest in coupling renewable energy and storage units. This study analyzed the 13 integration of a photovoltaic power plant, supercapacitor energy storage system, and railway 14 power system. Random optimization was used to verify the feasibility of this integration in a real 15 tramway electric system operating in the city of Naples, and the benefits and total cost of this 16 integration were evaluated. 17

The use of supercapacitors as energy storage systems is evaluated in this work. Supercapacitors are compared with other technologies such as compressed air, pumped hydro, superconductors and flywheels. This paper is focused on medium scale energy storage systems (applied to 100 kW photovoltaic generation plants). The supercapacitor is studied in detail, presenting these device structures, how t...
متن کاملEconomic Assessment of Photovoltaic Power Plants Construction with Emphasis on Currency Price Fluctuations
A quarter of Iran’s area is made from deserts with radiation exceeding . Also, the solar radiation of many parts of Iran is above the international average. So, the use of solar energy in the power system has increased in recent years. On the other hand, the success or failure of a project relates to the economic fluctuations of the country. In this paper, the effects of currency price sudden...
متن کاملMaximum Power Point Tracker for Photovoltaic Systems Based on Moth-Flame Optimization Considering Partial Shading Conditions
The performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems is highly dependent on environmental conditions. Due to probable changes in environmental conditions, the real-time control of PV systems is essential for exploiting their maximum possible power. This paper proposes a new method to track the maximum power point of PV systems using the moth-flame optimization algorithm. In this method, the PV DC-DC co...
