Facing the recent growing concern about the environment and electric power crisis triggered by the Great East Japan Earthquake, efficient use of energy has become an important issue. A smart grid that is a next-generation electric power network is expected to be one of the solutions and to form an enormous market. Aiming to enter this new smart grid market, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. es...

This paper addresses the energy management strategy (EMS) for a fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle (FC-HEV). The purpose of this paper is to ensure an optimal power splitting between the fuel cell system (FCS) and the battery pack, taking into account the operating conditions of the FCS. The FCS is a multiphysics system, and consequently, its energetic performances depend on the operating condit...

This paper presents a predictive Energy Management System (EMS), aimed to improve the performance of domestic PV-battery system and maximize self-consumption by minimizing energy exchange with utility grid. The proposed algorithm facilitates approach, which reduces electricity bills, transmission losses, required central generation/storage systems. EMS uses combination Fuzzy Logic (FL) rule bas...

Intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) along with advanced information and communication technology (ICT)-based networks are emerging in the legacy power grid to obtain real-time system states provide energy management (EMS) wide-area monitoring control capabilities. Cyber attackers can inject malicious data into EMS mislead state estimation process disrupt operations or initiate blackouts. A ma...

Across the United States and abroad, innovative producers, processors, trade organizations and others in the agricultural sector are exploring the promise of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) to improve their environmental and business performance. An Environmental Management System or EMS helps farmers develop their own, personal strategies for reducing environmental risk on their operati...

Little is known about the complementary performance benefits associated with facilities’ combined use of both quality management systems (QMSs) and environmental management systems (EMSs), and how these performance benefits might differ from those associated with facilities’ use of only one of these management systems (or neither). We suggest that complementarities arise because each management...

Research background: Environmental management systems (EMS) is an international standard of best practices for managing impacts on the natural environment. The came into effect in 1996. EMS reviews environmental aspects and sets goals targets them. based continuous development (Plan - Do Check – Act). It one voluntary instruments, as obligation to introduce not contained any legal regulation. m...

Die Klimaschutzziele der deutschen Bundesregierung sehen vor, bis 2020 den Anteil am Stromverbrauch, der durch erneuerbare Quellen bereitgestellt wird, auf 35 % zu erhöhen. Dazu ist insbesondere die Integration stark fluktuierender Erzeugungsanlagen (z.B. durch Wind und Photovoltaik) in das Stromnetz erforderlich, die den sicheren Netzbetrieb bereits heute vor große Herausforderungen stellen. Z...

The proposed research work focused on energy management strategy (EMS) in a grid connected system working islanding mode with the renewable resources and battery storage system. developed provides balancing operation at its output by utilizing perfect load sharing strategy. EMS technique using smart superficial neural network (SSNN) is simulated, numerical analyses are presented to validate eff...
