This paper tests the validity of the FUND model’s energy impact functions, and the hypothesis that global warming of 2 °C or more above pre-industrial times would negatively impact the global economy. Empirical data of energy expenditure and average...

The basic and adaptive maximum power point tracking algorithms have been studied for distributed photovoltaic systems to maximize the energy production of a photovoltaic (PV) module. However, the basic maximum power point tracking algorithms using a...

Formic acid decomposition to H2-rich gas was investigated over a CuO-CeO2/γ-Al2O3 catalyst. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, HR TEM and EDX methods. A 100% conversion of formic acid was observed over the copper-ceria catalyst under ambient pres...

Existing DC fast-charging stations are experiencing power quality issues such as high harmonics in the line current, poor power factor in the input supply, and overloading of distribution transformers, due to the dynamic behavior of charging patterns...

Due to growing concerns about carbon emissions, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) techniques have become an interesting alternative to overcome this problem. CO2-Argon-Steam-Oxy (CARSOXY)-fuel gas turbines are an innovative example that integrates CCS...

Electric servo system (ESS) is a servo mechanism in a control system of an aircraft, a ship, etc., which controls efficiency and directly affects the energy consumption and the dynamic characteristics of the system. However, the control performance o...

With the increasing penetration of wind power generation, the frequency regulation burden on conventional synchronous generators has become heavier, as the rotor speed of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is decoupled with the system frequency. A...

Microgrids are distribution networks consisting of distributed energy sources such as photovoltaic and wind turbines, that have traditionally been one of the most popular sources of energy. Furthermore, microgrids consist of energy storage systems an...

In power system operations, unforeseen energy imbalances commonly occur, resulting in unexpected constraints on the system. This leads to a disturbance in normal operation. In systems with integration of large intermittent wind power resources, addit...

This paper describes an analytical-numerical method for the skin and proximity effects in a system of two parallel conductors of circular cross section—a system very frequently encountered in various applications. The magnetic field generated b...
