Abstract In this paper the Selective Modal Analysis (SMA) method is used for reproducing the eigenvalues involved in subsynchronous control interactions (SSCI) between DFIG-based wind farms and series compensated transmission lines. The SMA method provides a reduced system matrix containing a desired part of the eigenstructure of a system without computing the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the full system. The key concept for obtaining such reduced matrix resides in an appropriate identification of a subset of state variables and eigenvalues of the system. The intrinsic problems in identifying the corresponding subset for analyzing the SSCI phenomenon are explored and illustrated using a simplified radial system. In addition, a systematic approach for obtaining a subset with minimum dimension is proposed. The methodology consists in a two-phase iterative procedure that reduces the computational load and promotes the convergence of the SMA method to the desired eigenstructure. The proposed algorithm is validated on a relative large power system derived from a practical network.

In contrast, such programs have been in place for more than 40 years in the US. There are numerous lessons to be learnt from their experience. We have therefore conducted a comparative analysis including Geneva and 11 leading states in the US, with the objective to identify explanatory factors for the success of energy efficiency programs. First, we compared total investment in energy efficiency programs between 2006 and 2015 and public policies related to energy efficiency in each state. Second, we analyzed the levelized cost of saved energy (LCSE) of the programs from the perspective of program administrators. Our cost-effectiveness analysis showed that the program investment scale has been strongly influenced by i) the existence of public mandates, which require program administrators to set ambitious targets and maximize their investment in cost-effective energy efficiency measures, ii) financial instruments that ensure program expenditure to be recovered, and iii) complementary funding from other programs. Moreover, learning and accumulated experience of the program administrators allow to reduce the LCSE. We conclude that the combination of financial instruments with public mandates can ensure a high level of effectiveness.

Krupnik; Sreejith Aravindakshan; Sreejith Aravindakshan; Frederick Rossi;Escalating energy costs are an increasing concern for South Asian farmers growing rice and wheat in rotation. Millions of people in the IGP (Indo-Gangetic Plains) depend on this cropping system for food and income security. CT (conservation tillage) practices, including mechanical BP (bed planting), PTOS (power-tiller operated seeding), and ST (strip tillage), are advocated by donors and development organizations as profitable, high yielding, and energy-efficient alternatives to TT (traditional tillage). However, most studies on the EUE (energy input use efficiency) of CT originate from researcher-controlled and on-station experiments. Comparatively little information is available on the EUE of CT practices as farmers apply them in their own fields, and under their own management decisions. This research responds to this gap, and analyzes EUE of each of these three CT options, compared to TT, by surveying 328 rice-wheat farmers in north-western Bangladesh. Concentrating on wheat production, we employed a non-parametric benchmarking technique involving slack-based measures of technical efficiency, along with a fractional regression model to identify and compute the wasteful use of energy. PTOS achieved the highest EUE score (0.92), followed closely by BP and ST (both 0.91), whereas TT (0.68) was significantly (p <0.001) different and lower than the CT practices.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Conference object 2015Authors: Tougaard, Jakob;A recent addition to the anthropogenic sources of underwater noise is offshore wave energy converters. Underwater noise was recorded from the Wavestar wave energy converter located at Hastholm, Denmark (57°7.73´N, 8°37.23´E). The Wavestar is a full-scale test and demonstration converter of the absorber type. During recordings the converter was operating close to maximum power output (nominal capacity of 110 kW). During operation the independently operating absorbers float semi-submerged in the water and wave-generated up-and-down motion is converted into hydraulic pressure by means of pistons connected to the arms of the absorbers. The hydraulic pressure then in turn drives the generator. A 57 minute sequence of noise from the converter was recorded by a Loggerhead datalogger deployed in 7 m deep water 25 m from the converter. This sequence contained recordings of ambient noise, the converter in full operation and start and stop of the converter. Median broad band (10 Hz – 20 kHz) sound pressure level (Leq) was 123 dB re. 1 Pa, irrespective of status of the wave energy converter (stopped, running or starting/stopping). The most pronounced peak in the third-octave spectrum was in the 160 Hz band during start and stop of the converter, attributed to the hydraulic pump responsible for lifting and lowering the absorbers. Less pronounced, but still statistically significant differences were seen in the bands 125, 160, 200 and 250 Hz when operation and ambient were compared. No statistically significant noise above ambient could be detected above the 250 Hz band. The absolute increase in noise above ambient was very small. L50 third-octave levels in the four bands with the converter running were thus only 1-2 dB above ambient L50 levels.The noise recorded 25 m from the wave energy converter was barely detectable above ambient noise and only in the range 125-250 Hz. Harbour seals have good low frequency hearing and third-octave levels of the converter noise are well above their hearing threshold. Harbour seals are thus expected to be able to hear the converter noise, although the elevation in noise levels is so low (1-2 dB) that it is likely to be close to inaudible even at the close range where recordings were obtained. In contrast to seals, harbour porpoises have poor low frequency hearing and it seems unlikely that the converter noise would have been audible to porpoises. Wave energy converters come in different designs and work according to different principles. Other types of converters could be expected to be noisier, perhaps also to generate noise at other frequencies than those reported from the Wavestar. Therefore the conclusion that noise levels from the Wavestar are unlikely to affect seals and porpoises cannot be generalised. Nevertheless, the results clearly demonstrate that it is possible to harvest wave energy in a way which does not add substantially to the increasing levels of anthropogenic noise in the ocean.

MgO/H2O/Mg(OH)2 chemical heat storage of waste energy from industrial processes is a promising technology in view of a more efficient use and saving of primary energy sources. A new approach was used to develop a hybrid heat storage material made of magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) and exfoliated graphite (which is used to improve the heat transfer with its high thermal conductivity). Mg(OH)2 nanoplatelets were directly grown on graphite surface via a deposition–precipitation method to increase the compatibility between the two materials. The material thus obtained, named DP-MG, was experimentally tested to determine its heat storage and output capacities. An improvement of the material efficiency was obtained with a higher storage capacity at lower reaction temperature and a higher heat output rate.

An aerodynamic shape optimization method for a horizontal axis wind turbine is developed and verified through experimentation with a laboratory-scale wind turbine. Our method is based on matching the rotor's and the coupled generator's torque. Prior to shape optimization, an initial rotor design is established with a hybrid use of Schmitz and blade element momentum theories. The experimental verification of the developed method is conducted with a small-scale wind turbine; thus, the operating Reynolds number is one order of magnitude lower than large-scale wind turbines. Therefore, a high-lift low-Re airfoil, namely, SG6043, is selected for the blade along the whole span. The shape is optimized by determining the optimum chord and cumulative pitch angle distributions by manipulating the tapering and twisting of the blade. The objective of the optimization is to maximize the turbine's power coefficient Cp, while maintaining the torque equal to that of the generator. The generator's characteristics are found through experimentations which are conducted apart from the wind tunnel experiments. During the optimization process, the local aerodynamic forces on the blade are calculated by interfacing the optimization program with XFOIL; thus, the torque and power can be calculated for the rotor at each iteration step. The optimized turbine performance is evaluated under a design and off-design operating condition. The performance verification experiments are carried out in the wind tunnel with a specially designed setup. A comparison of the measured and computed performance shows good agreement.

This work proposes a methodology for predicting the typical daily load profile of electricity usage based on static data obtained from surveys. The methodology intends to: (1) determine consumer segments based on the metering data using the k-means clustering algorithm, (2) correlate survey data to the segments, and (3) develop statistical and machine learning classification models to predict the demand profile of the consumers. The developed classification models contribute to make the study and planning of demand side management programs easier, provide means for studying the impact of alternative tariff setting methods and generate useful knowledge for policy makers.

Abstract In this paper the Selective Modal Analysis (SMA) method is used for reproducing the eigenvalues involved in subsynchronous control interactions (SSCI) between DFIG-based wind farms and series compensated transmission lines. The SMA method provides a reduced system matrix containing a desired part of the eigenstructure of a system without computing the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the full system. The key concept for obtaining such reduced matrix resides in an appropriate identification of a subset of state variables and eigenvalues of the system. The intrinsic problems in identifying the corresponding subset for analyzing the SSCI phenomenon are explored and illustrated using a simplified radial system. In addition, a systematic approach for obtaining a subset with minimum dimension is proposed. The methodology consists in a two-phase iterative procedure that reduces the computational load and promotes the convergence of the SMA method to the desired eigenstructure. The proposed algorithm is validated on a relative large power system derived from a practical network.

In contrast, such programs have been in place for more than 40 years in the US. There are numerous lessons to be learnt from their experience. We have therefore conducted a comparative analysis including Geneva and 11 leading states in the US, with the objective to identify explanatory factors for the success of energy efficiency programs. First, we compared total investment in energy efficiency programs between 2006 and 2015 and public policies related to energy efficiency in each state. Second, we analyzed the levelized cost of saved energy (LCSE) of the programs from the perspective of program administrators. Our cost-effectiveness analysis showed that the program investment scale has been strongly influenced by i) the existence of public mandates, which require program administrators to set ambitious targets and maximize their investment in cost-effective energy efficiency measures, ii) financial instruments that ensure program expenditure to be recovered, and iii) complementary funding from other programs. Moreover, learning and accumulated experience of the program administrators allow to reduce the LCSE. We conclude that the combination of financial instruments with public mandates can ensure a high level of effectiveness.

Krupnik; Sreejith Aravindakshan; Sreejith Aravindakshan; Frederick Rossi;Escalating energy costs are an increasing concern for South Asian farmers growing rice and wheat in rotation. Millions of people in the IGP (Indo-Gangetic Plains) depend on this cropping system for food and income security. CT (conservation tillage) practices, including mechanical BP (bed planting), PTOS (power-tiller operated seeding), and ST (strip tillage), are advocated by donors and development organizations as profitable, high yielding, and energy-efficient alternatives to TT (traditional tillage). However, most studies on the EUE (energy input use efficiency) of CT originate from researcher-controlled and on-station experiments. Comparatively little information is available on the EUE of CT practices as farmers apply them in their own fields, and under their own management decisions. This research responds to this gap, and analyzes EUE of each of these three CT options, compared to TT, by surveying 328 rice-wheat farmers in north-western Bangladesh. Concentrating on wheat production, we employed a non-parametric benchmarking technique involving slack-based measures of technical efficiency, along with a fractional regression model to identify and compute the wasteful use of energy. PTOS achieved the highest EUE score (0.92), followed closely by BP and ST (both 0.91), whereas TT (0.68) was significantly (p <0.001) different and lower than the CT practices.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Conference object 2015Authors: Tougaard, Jakob;A recent addition to the anthropogenic sources of underwater noise is offshore wave energy converters. Underwater noise was recorded from the Wavestar wave energy converter located at Hastholm, Denmark (57°7.73´N, 8°37.23´E). The Wavestar is a full-scale test and demonstration converter of the absorber type. During recordings the converter was operating close to maximum power output (nominal capacity of 110 kW). During operation the independently operating absorbers float semi-submerged in the water and wave-generated up-and-down motion is converted into hydraulic pressure by means of pistons connected to the arms of the absorbers. The hydraulic pressure then in turn drives the generator. A 57 minute sequence of noise from the converter was recorded by a Loggerhead datalogger deployed in 7 m deep water 25 m from the converter. This sequence contained recordings of ambient noise, the converter in full operation and start and stop of the converter. Median broad band (10 Hz – 20 kHz) sound pressure level (Leq) was 123 dB re. 1 Pa, irrespective of status of the wave energy converter (stopped, running or starting/stopping). The most pronounced peak in the third-octave spectrum was in the 160 Hz band during start and stop of the converter, attributed to the hydraulic pump responsible for lifting and lowering the absorbers. Less pronounced, but still statistically significant differences were seen in the bands 125, 160, 200 and 250 Hz when operation and ambient were compared. No statistically significant noise above ambient could be detected above the 250 Hz band. The absolute increase in noise above ambient was very small. L50 third-octave levels in the four bands with the converter running were thus only 1-2 dB above ambient L50 levels.The noise recorded 25 m from the wave energy converter was barely detectable above ambient noise and only in the range 125-250 Hz. Harbour seals have good low frequency hearing and third-octave levels of the converter noise are well above their hearing threshold. Harbour seals are thus expected to be able to hear the converter noise, although the elevation in noise levels is so low (1-2 dB) that it is likely to be close to inaudible even at the close range where recordings were obtained. In contrast to seals, harbour porpoises have poor low frequency hearing and it seems unlikely that the converter noise would have been audible to porpoises. Wave energy converters come in different designs and work according to different principles. Other types of converters could be expected to be noisier, perhaps also to generate noise at other frequencies than those reported from the Wavestar. Therefore the conclusion that noise levels from the Wavestar are unlikely to affect seals and porpoises cannot be generalised. Nevertheless, the results clearly demonstrate that it is possible to harvest wave energy in a way which does not add substantially to the increasing levels of anthropogenic noise in the ocean.

MgO/H2O/Mg(OH)2 chemical heat storage of waste energy from industrial processes is a promising technology in view of a more efficient use and saving of primary energy sources. A new approach was used to develop a hybrid heat storage material made of magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) and exfoliated graphite (which is used to improve the heat transfer with its high thermal conductivity). Mg(OH)2 nanoplatelets were directly grown on graphite surface via a deposition–precipitation method to increase the compatibility between the two materials. The material thus obtained, named DP-MG, was experimentally tested to determine its heat storage and output capacities. An improvement of the material efficiency was obtained with a higher storage capacity at lower reaction temperature and a higher heat output rate.

An aerodynamic shape optimization method for a horizontal axis wind turbine is developed and verified through experimentation with a laboratory-scale wind turbine. Our method is based on matching the rotor's and the coupled generator's torque. Prior to shape optimization, an initial rotor design is established with a hybrid use of Schmitz and blade element momentum theories. The experimental verification of the developed method is conducted with a small-scale wind turbine; thus, the operating Reynolds number is one order of magnitude lower than large-scale wind turbines. Therefore, a high-lift low-Re airfoil, namely, SG6043, is selected for the blade along the whole span. The shape is optimized by determining the optimum chord and cumulative pitch angle distributions by manipulating the tapering and twisting of the blade. The objective of the optimization is to maximize the turbine's power coefficient Cp, while maintaining the torque equal to that of the generator. The generator's characteristics are found through experimentations which are conducted apart from the wind tunnel experiments. During the optimization process, the local aerodynamic forces on the blade are calculated by interfacing the optimization program with XFOIL; thus, the torque and power can be calculated for the rotor at each iteration step. The optimized turbine performance is evaluated under a design and off-design operating condition. The performance verification experiments are carried out in the wind tunnel with a specially designed setup. A comparison of the measured and computed performance shows good agreement.

Factors have been identified that impact a project s scalability and replicability by means of a review of demonstration projects. The factors are of technical, economic, regulatory and social acceptance nature, and they describe requirements for scalability and replicability. Data was collected from ongoing European smart grid demonstration projects through the use of an elaborated questionnaire on the identified factors. Which allowed to quantify the status quo to what extent projects have taken these factors into account. Dew to their nature the derived factors can be categorized in technical, economic and regulatory & stakeholder related factor areas The obtained results allowed the identification of barriers, i.e. limitations regarding the scalability and replicability of smart grid projects. In particular projects face barriers regarding the absence of standards, the physical limits of the existing infrastructure, the absence of cost-benefit analyses, the neglect of varying macro-economic factors, stakeholder involvement and from the dependency of projects on regional or national regulatory frameworks and market designs. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

This work proposes a methodology for predicting the typical daily load profile of electricity usage based on static data obtained from surveys. The methodology intends to: (1) determine consumer segments based on the metering data using the k-means clustering algorithm, (2) correlate survey data to the segments, and (3) develop statistical and machine learning classification models to predict the demand profile of the consumers. The developed classification models contribute to make the study and planning of demand side management programs easier, provide means for studying the impact of alternative tariff setting methods and generate useful knowledge for policy makers.

Many countries have implemented and planned offshore wind farms to meet their increasing electricity demands and public environmental appeals, especially in Europe. With relatively less space limitation, an offshore wind farm could have a capacity rating to hundreds of MWs or even GWs that is large enough to compete with conventional power plants. Thus the impacts of a large offshore wind farm on power system operation and security should be thoroughly studied and understood.
