With the increasing shortage of global oil and natural gas energy, the exploitation of land has begun to shift to the marine field on a large scale. The scale of offshore oil and natural gas engineering projects is expanding. It is necessary to carry out power and communication transmission from land to offshore oil platforms and between platforms, as well as feedback and control of technical ...
After five years the Desertec Industrial Initiative will cease to exist in its current form. The question for the industry is whether this is a natural progression or a cause for concern. It has been a bumpy few weeks even by the turbulent standards of the Desertec Industrial Initiative’s short history. After a dwindling number of backers earlier this year decided to maintain the Dii as a ...
Better access to improved infrastructure services is an important engine for economic growth. The poor state of infrastructure is a key bottleneck to growth in African countries, and Cameroon is no exception. Between 2000 and 2005, improvements in information and communication technologies boosted Cameroon's growth performance by 1.26 percentage points per capita, while deficient power ...
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (Pennington, NJ) announced that it has achieved what it claims to be the first-ever connection of a wave-energy system to the power grid in the United States. Ocean Power’s PB40 Powerbuoy system is now delivering power to the grid at the U.S. Marine Corps Base Hawaii on the island of Oahu. The Powerbuoy unit, which was installed in December 2009 at a depth of ...
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 SVC and electric network, to the ...
