Integrated energy systems utilizing renewable sources are sustainable and environmentally substitutes for conventional fossil-fired energy systems. A new multigeneration plant with two inputs, such as biomass and solar energy, and four useful outputs, such as cooling, heating, power, and distilled water, is presented and investigated in this paper. The proposed system includes evacuated tub...

In this paper, we conduct a techno-economic analysis of a 1000 MWe solar tower aided coal-fired power generation system for the whole life cycle. Firstly, the power output (from coal and solar thermal energy) under variable direct normal irradiance and grid demand are studied. Secondly, a financial assessment is performed, including profits and losses of the plant project. Thirdly, sensitivity ...

Power Quality is an essential aspect for reliable operation of power grid including Photovoltaic based generation. This paper focuses on real time problem of injection of harmonics and resonance into power network having 5MW solar plant. The solar plant includes 10 inverters each of 500KW connected to 33kV bus. Power produced by plant is explored via 4km cable at 220kV, where conventional plant...

India is the seventh largest country in the world, blessed with adequate solar radiation, therefore to setting up a Photovoltaic power plant is a lucrative option. In actual field conditions the performance of the PV modules vary significantly from its Standard Test Condition (STC) due to large change in environmental conditions. It is very important to study the exact meteorological parameters...

This article presents technical data for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants in operation, under construction and in project all over the world in the form of tables. These tables provide information about plants (e.g., name of the CSP plant, country of construction, owner of the plant, aim of the plant) and their technical characteristics (e.g., CSP technology, solar power, area of the plant...

This work presents a hybrid scheme combining the potentialities of neural networks for approximation purposes with the well-know theory and widespread industrial application of PID techniques. The neural network is trained based on measured data from the plant providing a way of scheduling between a set of PID controllers, a priori tuned in different operating points by means of Takahashi rules...

Abstract— A case study of grid connected PV system analysis is done for 500 kW grid connected solar photovoltaic (PV) system at a northern location of Bangladesh. HOMER and MATLAB Programming tools and monthly average solar radiation data from NASA is used for this study. In this paper a grid connected PV power plant is designed and simulated using HOMER software, the power plant is sized to su...
