Restructuring and liberalization of electric power markets in recent years present new challenges to network operators. Existing transmission assets are being pushed to their physical limits in order to increase overall utilization of transmission networks. Additionally, demand for electric energy is steadily increasing, which further stresses network components. This leads to congested transmi...

Many studies have been done on hybrid vehicles in the past few years. The full hybrid vehicles need a large number of batteries creating up to 300 (V) to meet the required voltage of electric motor. The size and weight of the batteries cause some problems. This research investigates the mild hybrid vehicle. This vehicle includes a small electric motor and a high power internal combustion engine...

This paper identifies weak points in the control of commercial DC variable-speed compressors, fed by photovoltaic panels, and describes the development of an energy-efficient control method. The method can be used in any application requiring such compressors to be driven by PV's, either for heating or cooling purposes. The advantage of using the presented method is the improved utilization of ...

Developing countries often have access to limited energy resources, which frequently results in power cuts and failures. During these power cuts, enterprises rely on backup sources for power such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and electric generators. This paper proposes AnywareDC, an architecture that builds on the recent work on Anyware [6] to reduce energy utilization in the presenc...

This paper proposes a methodology for practical siting and sizing of Hybrid energy systems (HESs) consist of: wind turbine (WT), photovoltaic (PV) and combined heat and power (CHP) units. In this method, the interaction of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PIEVs) in the electric distribution system is considered. Electric Vehicle are seen to have some negative impacts on electric distribution system p...

based on the problems caused by today conventional vehicles, much attention has been put on the fuel cell vehicles researches. however, using a fuel cell system is not adequate alone in transportation applications, because the load power profile includes transient that is not compatible with the fuel cell dynamic. to resolve this problem, hybridization of the fuel cell and energy storage device...
