This paper provides a review of the aerodynamic behavior of horizontal axis wind turbines operating in hazardous environmental conditions. Over the past decade, renewable energy use has accelerated due to global warming, depleting fossil fuel reserve...

The increasing penetration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) in Distribution Systems (DSs) has motivated studies on Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). However, few studies have jointly assessed the sizing and economic attractiveness of VPPs from the e...

In recent years supercritical CO2 power plants have seen a growing interest in a wide range of applications (e.g., nuclear, waste heat recovery, solar concentrating plants). The Allam Cycle, also known as the Allam-Fetvedt or NET Power cycle, seems t...

Effective fault detection, classification, and localization are vital for smart grid self-healing and fault mitigation. Deep learning has the capability to autonomously extract fault characteristics and discern fault categories from the three-phase r...

Regarding the existing evaluation methods for photovoltaic (PV) hosting capacity in the distribution system that do not consider the spatial distribution of rooftop photovoltaic potential and are difficult to apply on the actual large-scale distribut...

An effective dead-time control strategy for the three-phase dual active bridge (3P-DAB) converter of a distribution system is studied to reduce the switching losses of power switches and improve the under-light-load power conversion efficiency. Becau...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in utilizing hydrogen as an energy carrier across various transportation sectors, including aerospace applications. This interest stems from its unique capability to yield energy without generating d...

This study introduces novel stochastic distributed cooperative control (SDCC) in the context of island microgrids (MGs). A proportional resonant (PR) controller and virtual impedance droop control in stationary reference frames are employed in cooper...

Solid-state and sol-gel syntheses were selected as easy and scalable methods to prepare a lithium-rich cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. Among the extended family of layered oxides, Li1.2Ni0.2Mn0.6O2 was chosen for its low nickel content an...

Power batteries generate a large amount of heat during the charging and discharging processes, which seriously affects the operation safety and service life. An efficient cooling system is crucial for the batteries. This paper numerically simulated a...
