This paper deals with the optimal design of a stand-alone hybrid system composed of wind turbines, solar photovoltaic panels and batteries. To compensate for a possible lack of energy from these sources, an auxiliary fuel generator guarantees to meet the demand in every case but its use induces important costs. We have chosen a two-stage robust approach to take account of the stochastic behavio...

In this paper, analyzing the operation of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) based stand alone wind power system with Sensorless Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and a system for storing energy during wind speed and load variations. In standalone system, power, balance and power quality require the energy storage system. In conventional systems, MPPT depends on wind turbine para...

This paper deals with a wind-based stand-alone generating unit with Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) and a Lead Acid Battery (LAB) for energy storage, during wind speed variation as well as transient performance under variable load. The main purpose is to supply 230 V/50 Hz domestic appliances through a single-phase inverter. Simulations and experimental results validate the stabil...

We present a self-powered integrated microfluidic blood analysis system (SIMBAS) that does not require any external connections, tethers, or tubing to deliver and analyze a raw whole-blood sample. SIMBAS only requires the user to place a 5 μL droplet of whole-blood at the inlet port of the device, whereupon the stand-alone SIMBAS performs on-chip removal of red and white cells, without external...

– This paper investigates the application of the model predictive control (MPC) approach to control the voltage and frequency of a stand alone wind generation system. This scheme consists of a wind turbine which drives an induction generator feeding an isolated load. A static reactive power compensator (SVAR) is connected at the induction generator terminals to regulate the load voltage. The ro...

This paper presents a design for a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system to provide the required electricity for a single residential household in rural area in Jordan. The complete design steps for the suggested household loads are carried out. Site radiation data and the electrical load data of a typical household in the considered site are taken into account during the design steps. The relia...

This paper deals with a control scheme to extract maximum power from the wind energy conversion system (WECS) using Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithm (MPPT) from a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). In order to ensure the continuous supply of power, battery backup is established. The control scheme for standalone system includes the charge controller circuit for battery bank and pitch ...

1 Based on “Portable Integrated Multi-Signal Patient Monitoring System ", by M. El Korek, R. Aloul, T. Landolsi, A.R. Al-Ali, and Y. Al-Assaf which appeared in the 3rd International Conference on Innovations in Information Technology (IIT06). © [2006] IEEE. Abstract—In this paper, we propose a wireless stand-alone, embedded system design that integrates the monitoring of three biomedical parame...

This paper proposes a decentralized stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system, which presents a set of advantages when compared to conventional stand-alone PV system. In the proposed system, the generated energy by the PV arrays is processed by multi-string MPPT step-up converters, which assure a maximum utilization of this energy. The storage system is designed in a decentralized configuration, ena...
