Optimal path to a high share of distributed PV in low-voltage distribution grids

To limit global warming, the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables is one of the main challenges of this century. This transition will help decrease our CO2 emissions, create jobs, contribute to a broader revenues distribution, improve energy s ...

Hydraulic soil failure due to artesian ground conditions during the construction of a hydro electrical power plant on Sakarya river

Katinka Meier

The presence of an artesian aquifer lying under the construction site of a hydro-electrical power plant had not been considered in the design project. The foreseen excavation works could not be carried out due to a high risk of hydraulic heave of the excav ...

Harvesting the ﬂexibility of energy communities from a DSO perspective

Antoine Zürcher

As non-controllable power sources, photovoltaics can create overvoltage and overloading in low voltage (LV) distribution feeders during periods of high generation and low demand. This is usually prevented passively by limiting the penetration level of PV t ...

On Smart-Buildings and their Integration into the Smart-Grid

Olivier Valentin Henri Van Cutsem

Today's electrical grid is undergoing deep changes, resulting from the large integration of distributed Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in an effort to decarbonize the generation of electrical energy. In addition to the emergence of this volatile electricit ...

Force and Shape Control Strategies for Minimum Energy Adaptive Structures

Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

This work presents force and shape control strategies for adaptive structures subjected to quasi-static loading. The adaptive structures are designed using an integrated structure-control optimization method developed in previous work, which produces minim ...

Numerical and Experimental Validation of Electromagnetic Time Reversal for Geolocation of Lightning Strikes

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Hamidreza Karami

We implement an electromagnetic time reversal technique (EMTR) to locate lightning return strokes. The two-dimensional finite difference time domain is employed to simulate the EMTR process in both, the forward-time and the backward-time phases. Scatterers ...

Multi-criteria optimization of a renewable hydrogen and freshwater production system using HDH desalination unit and thermoelectric generator

Hossein Pourrahmani

This article presents the exergoeconomic evaluation of a new geothermal-based integrated system, which produces hydrogen and freshwater. The proton exchange membrane electrolyzer (PEME) and humidifier-dehumidifier (HDH) units are responsible for hydrogen a ...

Performance Comparative Assessment of Grid Connected Power Converters Control Strategies

Mario Paolone, Giacomo Piero Schiapparelli

Renewable energy sources are generally interfaced with the electric distribution and transmission grid via power converters. The displacement of the traditional generating plants requires the new resources to be involved in the grid control strategy. This ...

Efficient High Step-up Operation in Boost Converters Based on Impulse Rectification

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera

Conventional boost converters, while having a high level of simplicity and robustness, are known to have poor efficiency at high step-up regime. More complicated topologies have been extensively explored to increase the step-up ratio while keeping a high-e ...

Caching (Bivariate) Gaussians

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Guillaume Jean Op 't Veld

Caching is a technique that alleviates networks during peak hours by transmitting partial information before a request for any is made. In a lossy setting of Gaussian databases, we study a single-user model in which good caching strategies minimize the dat ...
