Photovoltaic Model-Based Solar Irradiance Estimators: Performance Comparison and Application to Maximum Power Forecasting

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Enrica Scolari

Due to the increasing proportion of distributed photovoltaic (PV) production in the generation mix, the knowledge of the PV generation capacity has become a key factor. In this work, we propose to compute the PV plant maximum power starting from the indire ...

Effects of humid air on aerodynamic journal bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat

The development of aerodynamic bearings applications where ambient conditions cannot be controlled (e.g., for automotive fuel cell compressor) raises the question of the effects of condensation in the humid air on perfor-mance. A modified Reynolds equation ...

Identification of optimal operating strategy of direct air-cooling condenser for Rankine cycle based power plants

François Maréchal, Ligang Wang, Xiang Li

Direct air-cooling condenser has attracted significant attention in the last decade due to the employment of Rankine-cycle based power plants from renewable (e.g., concentrated solar) or traditional (e.g., coal) heat sources in water-scarce areas. The opti ...

Real-gas effects on aerodynamic bearings

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Eliott Philippe Guenat

Motivated by the use of aerodynamic bearings lubricated with high-pressure gases in energy conversion cycles, the Reynolds equation is adapted in order to include effects of real-gas and turbulence. Three geometries (Rayleigh-step slider, plain and herring ...

A Comprehensive Assessment of the Short-Term Uncertainty of Grid-Connected PV Systems

Mario Paolone, Fabrizio Sossan, Lorenzo Enrique Reyes Chamorro, Enrica Scolari

One of the key aspects enabling the bulk integration of photovoltaic (PV) resources into the power grid is the short-term prediction of the maximum available power (from 100 ms to 5 minutes), and the quantification of the associated uncertainties. This is ...

Equivalent electricity storage capacity of domestic thermostatically controlled loads

Fabrizio Sossan

A method to quantify the equivalent storage capacity inherent the operation of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) is developed. Equivalent storage capacity is defined as the amount of power and electricity consumption which can be deferred or anticip ...

Thermo-economic analysis of transcritical CO2 cycles with bounded and unbounded reheats in low-temperature heat recovery applications

Ali Amini

Performance of transcritical CO2 Rankine cycles with and without reheat process is investigated thermo-economically in low-grade waste heat recovery applications. Two reheating scenarios are proposed to evaluate the effect of bounded and unbounded reheats ...

Characterization of hydraulic behavior of orifices in conduits

Nicolas Jean François Pascal Ghislain Adam

High-head power plants are the main pillar of Swiss peak electricity production. With the 2050 Energy Strategy approved by Swiss voters, the annual production of hydroelectricity should increase by 4%, while 90% of the technically feasible potential is alr ...
