“…Besides, many parameters of any power system are uncertain, e.g. economic properties [5], static component performances [6] as well as time series of production and load profiles [7,8]. Their impacts are often evaluated by performing sensitivity computations on a limited set of key parameter variations [3,9], using simulation software like Odyssey.…”

“…Biomass is a good alternative to the above-mentioned energy sources, as it is renewable and widely available and also has the possibility to be stored and used immediately when needed [8]. Biopower also promotes the elimination of residual and waste biomass forms from, for example, forestry operations, agriculture, and industry, thereby reducing the risk of rural fires and volume reduction when landfill is the chosen option [9].…”

A Logistics Management System for a Biomass-to-Energy Production Plant Storage Park

The biomass industry is growing due to the current search for greener and more sustainable alternatives to fossil energy sources. However, this industry, due to its singularity, presents several challenges and disadvantages related to the transportation of raw materials, with the large volumes that are usually involved. This project aimed to address this internal logistics situation in torrefied biomass pellets production with two different biomass storage parks, located in Portugal. The main park receives raw material coming directly from the source and stores it in large amounts as a backup and strategic storage park. The second park, with smaller dimensions, precedes the production unit and must be stocked daily. Therefore, a fleet of transport units with self-unloading cranes is required to help to unload the biomass at the main park and transport the raw material from this park to the one preceding the production unit. Thus, the main goal was to determine the dimensions of the fleet used in internal transportation operations to minimize the idle time of the transport units using a methodology already in use in the mining and quarrying industry. This methodology was analyzed and adapted to the situation presented here. The implementation of this study allows the elimination of unnecessary costs in an industry where the profit margins are low.

“…However, their fluctuating energy output due to unstable weather condition may influence and disturb a stable operation of a power grid. Under such situations, mitigation of fluctuating power by using energy storage system such as battery has been studied [1] [2] [3] [4], but huge capacity is needed for the energy storage system which causes extremely high costs.…”

This paper proposes a power control method to improve a stability of a small-scale power grid with renewable energy sources. In an isolated smallscale power grid such as an island, diesel power plant is main power source which has an environmental burden and expensive running cost due to high priced fossil fuel. Thus, expanding installation of the renewable energy sources such as a wind power is strongly desirable. Such fluctuating energy sources, however, harm power quality of the small-scale power grid, and in addition, conventional power plant in the small-scale power grid cannot, in general, stabilize the grid system with such fluctuating power sources. In this study, Variable Speed Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (VS-DFIG) is proposed to be installed at a diesel power plant instead of a conventional Fixed Speed Synchronous Generator (FS-SG), because quick control of a power balance in the small-scale power grid can be achieved by using the inertial energy of VS-DFIG. In addition, utilization of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is also considered to assist cooperatively the VS-DFIG control. As a result of the simulation analysis by using the proposed method, it is verified that frequency fluctuations due to renewable energy source can be effectively reduced by quick power control of the VS-DFIG compared to the conventional FS-SG, and further control ability can be obtained by utilizing BESS. Moreover, the transient stability of a small-scale power grid during a grid fault can also be enhanced.
