Turkey is located between 36 and 42 N latitudes, meaning it is close to axis of the equator. Therefore, Turkey is very rich in terms of the potential of renewable energy resources, although an important part of this potential is not active yet. The share of renewable energy sour…
With the evolution of energy and power systems, the emerging Smart Grid (SG) is mainly featured by distributed renewable energy generations, demand-response control and huge amount of heterogeneous data sources. Widely distributed synchrophasor sensors, such as phasor measuremen…
Due to the increasing awareness of the dwindling fossil fuel resources and environmental issues, biofuel became an alternative renewable fuel to meet the steady increase of energy consumption and environmental demands. This work was designed to produce biofuel free from glycerol…
In this thesis, a flywheel energy storage system (FESS) is proposed for the isolated wind-hydrogen-diesel hybrid power system in Ramea, Newfoundland, Canada. Sizing and control of the flywheel energy storage for Ramea wind-hydrogen-diesel hybrid power system is presented. At pre…
Recently interest in photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems is increasing rapidly and the installation of large PV systems or large groups of PV systems that are interconnected with the utility grid is accelerating despite their high cost and low efficiency due to environmen…
Being socially beneficial, economically competitive and environment friendly, wind energy is now considered to be the world's fastest growing renewable energy source. However, the stochastic nature of wind imposes a considerable challenge in the optimal management and operation …
This study explores and analyzes marketing strategies of renewable energy by selected companies in Bangladesh and the United States. The study identified, compared and contrasted different marketing strategies by the participating companies. The study was also taken to a normati…
Since concentrated power generation by Stirling engine has the highest efficiency therefore efficient power generation by concentrated systems using a Stirling engine was a primary motive of this research. A 1 kW Stirling engine was used to generate solar power using a Fresnel l…
Extensive increase of distributed generation (DG) penetration and the existence of multiple DG units at distribution level have introduced the notion of micro-grid. This thesis develops a detailed non-linear and small-signal dynamic model of a microgrid that includes PV, wind an…
Malaysia's transportation sector accounts for 48% of the country's total energy use. The country is expected to become a net oil importer by the year 2011. To encourage renewable energy development and relieve the country's emerging oil dependence, in 2006 the government mandate…
Renewable energies such as wind power and solar energy have become alternatives to fossil energy due to the improved energy security and sustainability. This trend leads to the rapid growth of wind and Photovoltaic (PV) farm installations worldwide. Power electronic equipments a…
Degradation of the solar cell over the time under different mechanical and loading during the manufacturing or use is one of the most common problems in the solar industry. One of the major reasons for this degradation is the cracks and/or film damage of one of the conductive la…
The objective of this work has two major tasks that investigation the use of CHHP system at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T;) campus and studying solid waste as renewable source of energy: current and future possibility in Libya. Task one has thre…
Perovskite structured oxides; La1-xSrxMnO 3-δ and LaxSr1-xCoyFe1-y O3-δ are widely used as cathode for oxygen reduction reaction in a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). To study the electrode mechanism, a model system was developed using dense thin-film electrodes. Polycrystalline na…
Energy issues in the United States are currently receiving a very high priority. There is a strong desire to replace fossil fuels with alternative sources of energy since fuel prices are rising dramatically, and for the harming effect on the environment. Biomass is one of the mo…
Microalgae harvesting is a labor- and energy-intensive process. For instance, classical harvesting technologies such as chemical addition and mechanical separation are economically prohibiting for biofuel production. Newer approaches to harvest microalgae have been developed in …
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) as a recently formed state has undergone a transition, the speed of which has brought the country to the forefront of promoting a global sustainability discourse. Through the introduction of numerous sustainable development initiatives, a self-cont…
Scientist and policy makers alike have identified renewable energy technologies as a means to reduce global greenhouse gas admissions and remediate some of the negative effects of climate change. The global campaign to promote renewables is particularly strong among European cou…
