Photovoltaic power generation is not limited by the geographical distribution of resources; it can be generated in the vicinity of the power source and has a short construction cycle, and after so many years of development in the technology has matured, the cost of power generation has been ...
The American Energy Information Administration (EIA) has reported that it expects about 65 GW of coal power to be retired between now and 2030 and that nearly 90 GW has already been phased out since 2011. ...
Sector: Power Generation Category: Control Networks, Electric Actuators, Services Products: Field Service, IQ3 Range, Preventative Maintenance, Training Overview SSE plc’s Great Island Power Station in County Wexford is a 464 MW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant which was first commissioned in 2014. ...
In today’s world, everything we do almost revolve around power and power generating equipment are very necessary for that matter. ...
Veolia and F.K. Generators Ltd, specializing in diesel generators, have chosen our solution for control and monitoring of generators at their remote sites in order to reduce the mains electrical power consumption during highly demanding seasons. The challenges Veolia and F.K. generators sought ...
The increasing energy demands, insufficient availability of power generation and increasing global environmental problems, need alternate/green power sources. Among the different green power technologies such as wind power, photovoltaic, gas turbine and fuel cell, the fuel cell-based distributed ...
The power factor at the interface with the grid is controlled by the MC to ensure purely active power injection into the grid for optimal utilisation of the installed wind turbine capacity. The generation system has fuzzy logic control with vector control in the inner loops. ...
In this work, the design of fixed-gain Proportional?Integral?Derivative (PID) controllers with multiple stage lead-lag compensators are investigated for improving further the dynamic impact of Static Var Compensators (SVCs). The analysis is based on the linearisation of the power system under study and the proper shift of critical eigenvalues, associated with the ...
This paper presents the concept of an 'empty network' and shows how the power balance can be controlled in such a system. In this study, an 'empty network' is defined as a transmission system in which no rotating mass is present. All generators are connected to distributed systems and 'hidden' behind power electronic interfaces. ...
This paper introduces a computer-based model and dynamic simulation of a combined electro-mechanical control technique for a stand-alone wind turbine generator system. The presented combined control technique consists of three closed loops for speed regulation, nacelle alignment and dynamic load voltage regulation. ...
Salient issues associated with the connection of hydropower distributed generation (HPDG) into distribution networks include operation and voltage regulation, grid connection and control interaction, anti-islanding protection and islanding operation, and operation of protective devices. ...
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 ...
This paper demonstrates the principles of alliances and networks, outlines some government initiatives in this area, and finishes with a case study of General Power Controls (GPC), an Australian manufacturer who successfully competes with other manufacturers throughout the world.Keywords: strategic alliances, global competition, SMEs (small to ...
