Download or read book Spatial and Temporal Variability of Solar Energy written by Richard Perez and published by Now Publishers. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike conventional electrical power generation (such as fossil or nuclear energy), solar energy is intermittent. The output of a solar power plant is driven by weather and by the cycle of days and seasons. It varies from zero to full power outside the control of plant operators. Spatial and Temporal Variability of Solar Energy summarizes and analyzes recent research by the authors and others to understand, characterize, and model solar resource variability. This research shows that understanding solar energy variability requires a definition of the temporal and spatial context for which variability is assessed; and describes a predictable, quantifiable variability-smoothing space-time continuum from a single point to thousands of kilometers and from seconds to days. It also discusses the implications for solar penetration on the power grid and variability mitigation strategies.

This book was released on 2024-02-21 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global energy system is undergoing a profound transformation from a system based mainly on fossil fuels to a low-carbon one based on variable renewable energy (VRE), such as wind power and solar power, to achieve the 2050 Paris Agreement. By 2050, solar and wind power, with more than 14,500 GW installed capacity, would account for three-fifths of global electricity generation. This transformation comes with significant challenges since high VRE shares will greatly increase system flexibility requirements for balancing supply and demand. Accordingly, all sectors of the power system need to unlock further requisite flexibility through technology, business, and policy innovations, including power supply, transmission, distribution, storage, and demand.

Renewable energy is one of the most important subjects being studied, researched, and advanced in today’s world. From a macro level, like the stabilization of the entire world’s economy, to the micro level, like how you are going to heat or cool your home tonight, energy, specifically renewable energy, is on the forefront of the discussion. This book illustrates modelling, simulation, design and control of renewable energy systems employed with recent artificial intelligence (AI) and optimization techniques for performance enhancement. Current renewable energy sources have less power conversion efficiency because of its intermittent and fluctuating behavior. Therefore, in this regard, the recent AI and optimization techniques are able to deal with data ambiguity, noise, imprecision, and nonlinear behavior of renewable energy sources more efficiently compared to classical soft computing techniques. This book provides an extensive analysis of recent state of the art AI and optimization techniques applied to green energy systems. Subsequently, researchers, industry persons, undergraduate and graduate students involved in green energy will greatly benefit from this comprehensive volume, a must-have for any library.

Download or read book Distributed Energy Resources Management written by Pedro Faria and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, the impact of distributed energy resources in the operation of power and energy systems is unquestionable at the distribution level, but also at the whole power system management level. Increased flexibility is required to accommodate intermittent distributed generation and electric vehicle charging. Demand response has already been proven to have a great potential to contribute to an increased system efficiency while bringing additional benefits, especially to the consumers. Distributed storage is also promising, e.g., when jointly used with the currently increasing use of photovoltaic panels. This book addresses the management of distributed energy resources. The focus includes methods and techniques to achieve an optimized operation, to aggregate the resources, namely, by virtual power players, and to remunerate them. The integration of distributed resources in electricity markets is also addressed as a main drive for their efficient use.

Download or read book Advanced Distribution System Algorithms written by Hongda Ren and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more and more applications of distributed energy resources powered by renewable energy in distribution power systems, there is an increasing need to improve power system's resiliency for reliable and continuous power supply and efficiency while reducing carbon emissions. To reach this target, we investigate the path to study distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution systems from planning, real-time operation and control, restoration and reconfiguration after faults. First, we introduce metrics of microgrid performance and use these metrics in DERs planning and storage analysis with testing of battery model to evaluate transient stability and mode transition. The metrics are used in the following chapters to evaluate power loss, voltage deviation in Volt-VAR control, and operational complexity in restoration. The combination of distribution system and DERs modeling are used to validate clustering method for size and site solutions for distributed generation using time series simulation. Furthermore, sizing and siting of DERs in a distribution system has been studied to intentionally form multiple self-sufficient microgrids to increase resiliency. However, DER planning is not adequate for real-time operations and avoiding voltage violations caused by intermittent power generation from photovoltaic sources. Thus, our second contribution is a localized model-free Volt-VAR optimization (VVO) approach for network power loss minimization. The proposed controller is a combination of the extremum seeking algorithm to achieve the network-level objective without communications with other decision-making agents and an adaptive droop controller to achieve a stable response under fast varying phenomena. We also evaluate the theoretical conditions for localized results to approach to centralized optimal solutions. Finally, we implement deep Q learning (DQN) in load restoration using switch operations for random fault scenarios. To evaluate the capability of the DQN model, we build OpenAI gym compatible environment integrating OpenDSS, tune learning rate and hidden layers configuration of neural network, and make predictions using trained model. These results show that the DQN provides decisions perform close to human experience results with only partial measurements and status of the system. These three contributions include DERs planning, volt-VAR optimization and control, and load restoration in distribution power systems.
