Evaluating different control schemes for improving the efficiency in low power converters used in reduced-space systems
(2016-07)
The DC/DC converters are one of the main blocks of most electronic systems, allowing communication between energy sources and the rest of the system. The DC / DC converters are widely used systems because they allow power ...
Performance evaluation and simulation of a compound parabolic concentrator (cpc) trough solar thermal power plant in puerto rico under solar transient conditions
(2010)
The increasing fossil fuel costs as well as the need to move in a somewhat sustainable future has led the world in a quest for exploiting the free and naturally available energy from the Sun to produce electric power, and ...

Multivariable model predictive control for optimal operation of a fluid catalytic cracking debutanizer distillation column
(2011)
The purpose of this work is to discuss the application of Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC), a modality of Model Predictive Control (MPC), in a debutanizer distillation column. The column was analyzed and the required step-testing ...
Analysis and fpga implementation of dynamical maximum power point tracking methods for photovoltaic-fuel cell hybrid systems
(2011)
This work presents the analysis and implementation, on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device, of three different Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) methods for Photovoltaic(PV) systems. The system analyzed in this ...
Improving energy resource availability and resilience with the strategic placement of microgrids
(2019-12-09)
Natural disasters are increasingly impacting the power availability to communities around the world causing long term blackouts. Rural and remote communities are at a greater risk of suffering longer blackouts due to being ...
Photovoltaic inverter voltage regulation performance evaluation using a power hardware-in-the-loop setup on distribution system feeders
(2019-12-10)
Real-Time (RT) simulation introduces fast computational capabilities with high-fidelity mathematical models to study large or complex operational systems in the aerospace, automotive, energy, or other domains. The advantage ...
