“…For example, a study on households using smart washing machines reported that demand automatically shifted to periods when electricity is not expensive [75]. Advanced storage and peak-shaving technologies can be used to reduce the peak load [76][77][78]. Electrochemical technology-based battery energy storage system (BESS) is mostly used for peak-shaving.…”

“…Sodium Sulphur (NaS) batteries can be used for peak-shaving and power quality (PQ) improvement of the grid. The peak load shaving using BESS is shown in Figure 10 [78]. Devices inter-operability show the number and scale of use of smart devices and sub-systems in a smart grid will be very high, which makes the system interoperability crucial [75].…”

The Smart Grid (SG) is considered as an imminent future power network because of its fault identification and self-healing capabilities. Energy sustainability, renewable energy integration and an efficient control system are the key factors to be considered in developing SG system. Among various SG concepts, the term virtual power plant (VPP) integrates renewable energy to the grid and provides higher operational flexibility, but it requires extra capital costs for control system and software. The operational activities of a smart grid largely depend on the active customer demands. This paper defines and discusses various SG system concepts such as virtual power plant, and active demand in consumer networks, and also presents drivers and roadmaps for development of smart grids worldwide. Furthermore, this work provides an insight into present research and development on smart grids around the world, and sheds light on developing and establishing SG for the Sultanate of Oman.

“…[4]. Thus, polygeneration systems typically include a plurality of different technologies, integrated into a single system, so that the development of optimized control strategies becomes a crucial issue [5,6]. A special design effort must be also made to determine the optimal size of each sub-component [7]; with this aim in mind, advanced analysis methods were also used, such as exergy [8,9], exergoeconomic and thermoeconomic analysis [10,11].…”

This Special Issue aims at collecting the recent studies dealing with polygeneration systems, with a special focus on the possible integration of different technologies into a single system, able to convert one or multiple energy sources into energy services (electricity, heat and cooling) and other useful products (e.g., desalinized water, hydrogen, glycerin, ammonia, etc.). Renewable sources (solar, wind, hydro, biomass and geothermal), as well as fossil fuels, feeding advanced energy systems such as fuel cells and cogeneration systems, are considered. Special attention is paid to control strategies and to the management of the systems in general. Studies including thermoeconomic analyses and system optimizations are presented.

“…The increasing competition in the research regarding hybrid systems is an indication of the fact that not only this plant proved to be an interesting innovative technology, but also it will be an important remedy for high efficiency and almost clean electrical energy. This promises a bright future for hybrid systems in the field of distributed power generation [7][8][9].…”

Re‐Compression Model for SOFC Hybrid Systems: Start‐up and Shutdown Test for an Emulator Rig

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper reports a new innovative re-compression technology for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) hybrid systems necessary to increase pressure at compressor outlet level (as required by fuel cell systems for managing cathodic recurculation and to increase SOFC efficiency). This work was based on a collaboration between the University of Manchester (United Kingdom) and the University of Genoa (Italy).\ud The re-compression study will be performed with the hybrid system emulator rig by TPG. This device is composed of the following technology: a microturbine package able to produce up to 100 kWe which was modified for external connections, external pipes designed for several purposes (by-pass, measurement or bleed), and a high temperature modular vessel necessary to emulate the dimension of an SOFC stack. For the purpose of re-compression, this test rig is planned to be equipped with a turbocharger capable of increasing pressure using part of recuperator outlet flow.\ud Theoretical activity was considered before carrying out the real experimental tests to avoid plant risky conditions. So, it was necessary to develop a transient model (Matlab-Simulink environment) to simulate the hybrid system emulator including the re-compression system. The results obtained with the model were carried out considering the start-up/shutdown phases of the turbocharger device
