Since 1970, Revico and its subsidiary Revico Energies Vertes have been utilising the by-products of the Cognac sector. Located in Saint-Laurent-de-Cognac (Charente), the company specialises in the treatment of effluents from the production of spirits, such as vinasses or wine dregs. ...
In parallel to the large utility-scale wind turbines, more businesses today are investing in smaller-scale wind microturbine systems to generate electricity. Like solar, wind power solutions involve a significant capital investment and do not produce energy in all weather conditions; here too frequently business owners will choose to install a hybrid system incorporating both ...
The Micro CHP Market is set to grow from its current market value of more than $2 billion to over $13 billion by 2024; as reported in the latest study by Global Market Insights, Inc. Positive outlook toward changing climatic conditions, energy security along with government regulations to curb GHG emission will propel the micro combined heat and power market size. Growing deployment of ...
Some examples of micropower systems are a solar-battery system serving a remote load, a wind-diesel system serving an isolated village, and a grid-connected natural gas microturbine providing electricity and heat to a factory. Power plants that supply electricity to a high-voltage transmission system do not qualify as micropower systems because they are not dedicated to a ...
The GENSETS program intends to use the 12 projects to focus on internal combustion engines, Stirling engines, microturbines, and solidstate devices to develop one-kilowatt CHP systems that are energy efficient and affordable for residential homes. ...
A number of factors, including the availability of an energy market, project costs, potential revenue sources, and other technical considerations, can determine which technologies are most appropriate for a particular landfill gas-to-energy (LFGE) project. Technologies for converting LFG into energy include the following. Electricity Generation Approximately 70 percent of the LFGE projects ...
This paper deals with a novel solid state controller (NSSC) for isolated asynchronous generator (IAG) feeding three-phase four-wire loads driven by constant power prime movers, such as uncontrolled micro hydro turbines. AC capacitor banks are used to meet the reactive power requirement of the asynchronous generator. The proposed NSSC is realised using a set of IGBTs (insulated gate bipolar ...
Is it time for your company to move into international markets Our new white paper and audio series can help.Written by veteran energy journalists Elisa Wood and Lisa Cohn – based on interviews with government trade officials and US companies – the white paper describes: The market and political forces that make now the time for US companies to begin exporting energy efficiency. ...
The developed model of the microgrid consists of microturbine generation system, converter-based DG system with stiff DC source, synchronous-generator-based DG system and wind power system with induction generator. ...
The DOE says the credit is available for:• Technologies that create energy from renewable resources (sun, wind, geothermal and other renewable resources) • Energy storage technologies (fuel cells, microturbines or other energy storage systems used in electric vehicles) • Advanced transmission technologies that support renewable generation (including storage) • Renewable fuel ...
The insertion of DG systems into existing electric systems has a great impact on real-time system operation and planning. It is widely accepted that Microturbine Generation (MTG) systems are currently attracting much attention for meeting customers' needs in the distributed-power-generation market. ...
Almost all of the commercial microturbine-based dispersed generation systems today are composed of a high-speed permanent-magnet alternator and a diode rectifier-PWM inverter pair. A dispersed generation scheme made up of a microturbine, an induction generator, and a diode rectifier-PWM inverter pair is introduced in this paper. ...
In this paper, a comprehensive review of the different sources of distributed power is discussed including the main sources of the dispersed generation such as solar energy, fuel cell, microturbine, and wind energy, the application of the power electronics in distributed generation and co-generation, and the different kinds of modulation and their applications in AC-DC and DC-AC ...
A new scheme is proposed for the speed control of hydro turbines. Power can be controlled by controlling the rotary motion of the spear valve or linear motion of the sluice gate. In this paper, necessity for speed control, various function of governors, types, speed regulation of micro-hydroelectric power plants, functional block diagram of power generation and control system general models for ...
With different systems in hybrid infrastructure, customers can change the operation modes depending on various electricity and fuel prices: solar energy can supply either the steam consumers or the chilling system, or both, supported by steam and electricity from cogeneration plant.Keywords: parabolic trough collectors, solar process steam generation, heat generation, solar chilling, Turkey, ...
We already knew that hybrid microturbine buses were to be road tested in China. Now DaimlerChrysler got a contract to supply three fuel cell Citero buses from September 2004 to the Beijing ...
This critical level can be reached by: Exceeding sulfur emissions above permitted levels Receipt of odor and corrosion complaints from neighbors Need to meet inlet gas quality specifications for compressors, engines, turbines or microturbines. For sites with relatively low sulfur concentrations and gas flow (1-2 million SCFD @ 50 ppmv H2S), the recommended sulfur ...
