Nowadays, because of the need to decrease fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and also their capability of exchanging power with the grid and regulating the frequency and voltage of the grid at different times of the day, electric vehicles are used more than before all across the world. It is highly important to pay attention to the efficiency, and decrease in the weight and volume of...

The prevention of environmental damage in durable unsymmetrical huge-capacitor (UHC) with α-MnO2 nanotubes and amorphous Fe2O3 nanotubes grown on flexible carbon fabric is first designed and fabricated. The assembled novel flexible UHC device with an extended operating voltage window of 1.6 V exhibits excellent performance such as a high energy density of 0.55 mWh/cm3 and good rate capability. ...

MODULARIZED MULTILEVEL AND Z-SOURCE POWER CONVERTER AS RENEWABLE ENERGY INTERFACE FOR VEHICLE AND GRID-CONNECTED APPLICATIONS By Dong Cao Due the energy crisis and increased oil price, renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic panel, wind turbine, or thermoelectric generation module, are used more and more widely for vehicle and grid-connected applications. However, the output of these rene...

Introduction Electric double layer capacitors (EDLCs) have excellent properties in power density and durability compared with secondary batteries. Recently, development of advanced capacitors with high energy density is active because the storage devices with high power density have huge market in the fields of hybrid vehicles, mobile instruments and so on. The singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SW...

optimal sitting and sizing of shunt capacitor banks at the distribution networks for the purpose of power quality improvement is drawn much attention of electric power utilities in the last decades. determining the optimal number, location and sizing of capacitor using bee colony optimization algorithm (bco) is being presented in this paper. the bco algorithm is a new population based meta-heur...

Li ion battery (LIB) and electrochemical capacitor (EC) are considered as the most widely used energy storage systems (ESSs) because they can produce a high energy density or a high power density, but it is a huge challenge to achieve both the demands of a high energy density as well as a high power density on their own. A new hybrid Li ion capacitor (HyLIC), which combines the advantages of LI...

We describe the structure and present situation of the Chinese healthcare system and discuss its primary problems and challenges. We discuss problems with inefficient burden sharing, adverse provider incentives and huge inequities, and seek explanations in the structural features of the Chinese healthcare system. The current situation will be further challenged in the future by an aging populat...

In modern power systems, the installation of a shunt capacitor bank is one cheapest and most widely used methods for improving voltage profile. One composed mass units have ground, ungrounded, delta, wye connections that make configuration banks various. case long-term operation, failure single unit likely to cause uneven voltage, which will lead breakdown burning whole group, resulting in huge...

It is necessary to minimize the negative influence caused by pulsed load on microgrid. By analyzing impulse load characteristic, access-oriented energy storage, especially super capacitor, turned out to be suitable energy storage to stabilize this huge fluctuation. This paper presents an optimal configuration method of energy storage system (ESS) in microgrid, which is based on the result of sp...
