in this paper, the development and optimization of power distribution control strategy (pdcs) have been performed for a hybrid energy storage systems (hess) of a series hybrid electric bus (sheb). a common pdcs is based on the use of ultra-capacitor (uc) pack. a new simple pdcs is developed as a battery based one. for the battery based pdcs, four parameters are introduced for tuning the pdcs pe...

In recent years, using new methods in utilization of energy resources has become necessary due to environmental pollution and restriction of energy resources. The hybrid system presented in this article produced power with SOFC and Stirling engine. The purpose is to analyze a 50 kW Solid Oxide Fuel Cell that could produce enough thermal energy for a 10 kW Stirling engine working in the hybrid s...

drying is a high energy consuming process. solar drying is one of the most popular methods for dehydration of agricultural products. in the present study, the performance of a forced convection solar dryer equipped with recycling air system and desiccant chamber was investigated. the solar dryer is comprised of solar collector, drying chamber, silica jell desiccant chamber, air ducts, fan and m...

one of the new methods for electrical powering of the bridge health monitoring systems is applying energy harvesting systems using bridge vibration. in this method, the piezoelectric material is employed for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. the advantage of this method is based on not implementing the battery charging system. in previous research, some studies have been done...

Recently Debates about Energy and the issue of global warming have led to the use of new energy. One of the best options for this purpose is the use of a new hybrid system of power, heating and refrigeration, with its thermal source of solar and geothermal energy. In the present study, used a combined cooling, heating and power system based on the organic Rankine cycle and the Ejector Refrigera...

the major purpose of this study was to examine the advantages and implications of biogastechnology in the agriculture sector. biogas is one of many biomass energy sources, which includeanything that was once alive and that can generate energy (except for fossil fuels, which are notrenewable). to talk of biogas is to talk of agriculture, since biogas generation starts withagricultural waste prod...

the aims of this study were about determining of amount of accuracy in tractor-moldboard plow system for tillage operation on paddies and also survey on efficacy of decision support software application on amount of energy use. for this purpose, decision support software was developed by visual basic 6.0. for survey in amount of efficacy of applying the decision support system on paddies tillag...
