Wind turbine clutter has gradually become a concern for the radar community for its increasing size and quantity worldwide. Based on the S-band polarimetric Doppler PARSAX radar measurements, this paper demonstrates the micro-Doppler features and spectral-polarimetric characteristic of wind turbine clutter, the probability distribution functions of different spectralpolarimetric variables. Fina...

This paper presents a comparison between a decentralized and a distributed model-based predictive controller on a hydro power valley (HPV) benchmark recently proposed. The HPV is composed by three lakes and a river that is divided in six reaches that terminate with dams equipped with turbines for power production. The lakes and the river reaches are connected in three different ways: by a duct,...

Appropriate modeling of components and related controllers are very significant in studying dynamic performance of power systems. In this paper, an educational procedure for modeling, simulation, and governor tuning of hydro power plants is presented. Different existing dynamic models of hydro plant components are reviewed. The procedure for calculating the required parameters from real plant d...

Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. Included in the definition is electricity and heat generated from solar, wind, ocean, hydropower, biomass, geothermal resources, and bio-fuels and hydrogen derived from renewable resources. Each of these sources has unique characteristics which influence how and where they are used. This paper presents the model...

The flow of water in the pipeline for household needs is a source energy that can generate electrical through Pico hydro turbines or small-power turbines. experiment has been conducted on 10 Watt turbine mounted pipe against changes discharge. performance analysis experimentally (actual) and theoretically (ideal). results showed greater discharge flow, power generated by turbine. In tests with ...

Due to the advantages of micro-grids including power losses and voltage drops reduction, reliability improvement reduction in transmission network cost, numerous clean renewable resources such as wind, tidal solar are developed different countries world. The investment cost energy-based generation units especially barrages is high, generate cost-effective electricity from resources, optimizatio...

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...
