Small wind / photovoltaic hybrid renewable energy system optimization
(2008)
This thesis presents an optimization model to design a hybrid renewable energy systems consisting of wind turbines, photovoltaic modules, batteries, controllers and inverters. To use this model, a data bank is required ...
Power system operational reserves requirements with significant renewable generation in puerto rico
(2013)
The integration of utility-scale solar and wind energy generation into an electrical power network introduces new operational and economical challenges. When local atmospheric conditions deteriorates, such as when cloud ...
Determination of favorable conditions for the development of a wind power farm in puerto rico
(2005)
Development of a wind farm in the east coast of Puerto Rico has the potential of being an attractive economic proposal. This is so because the best wind resource of Puerto Rico is located on its east shore. Reliable wind ...
Effect of distributed energy storage systems in the voltage stability of an island power system
(2006)
In this work the author studies the effect of energy storage systems (ESS) used as distributed reactive compensation for voltage stability of an island power system. The dynamic voltage behavior using four load models was ...
Feasibility of ocean wave energy into electricity using attenuators energy devices in the north coast of puerto rico
(2009)
This thesis presents a study of ocean wave’s energy in deep waters of Puerto Rico. Wave energy is a renewable resource that has not been used in the Island. Results of our calculations indicate the north coast presents the ...
Characteristics of electric batteries for residential use and better integration with the electric distribution system
(2018-12-11)
The purpose of this work is to study the characteristics of different battery technologies and the requirements of energy storage systems (ESS) for customer services in order to specify the parameters for an ESS which will ...
Risk assessment of an electric power system using intelligent power routers
(2005)
We seek to determine the reliability of Intelligent Power Routers (IPR) and the reliability change of an electric power system (PS) operated with and without IPR. The IPR is our module to provide scalable coordination in ...
Diffusing the electric power transmission-distribution boundary through high DER presence
(2019-12-05)
The future of the electric power industry aims for a more decentralized and resilient service with stricter environmental regulations. The traditional electric system has been facing challenges due to the growing integration ...
Feasibility of ocean wave energy into electricity using oscillating water column in puerto rico
(2009)
We present the first feasibility analysis of electricity generation using shoreline ocean waves in Puerto Rico. We produced an estimate of the amount of energy available in waves at the north shore of Puerto Rico; using ...
Analysis and simulation of em fields of a permanent magnets dc linear motor used to propel a magnetically levitated train
(2004)
The Berdut design is a new alternative with permanent magnets for Maglev transport. The magnetic field and the force generated by the Berdut design were explored for the first time by mean of simulations using the software ...
