Sizing of hybrid photovoltaic and wind system for Block A residential hostel

This Project discussed the sizing Process of stand-alone Photovoltaic (PV) and wind system to supply the required load for Residential hostel located in Parit Raja, Malaysia. Energy from renewable sources is clean, eco-friendly, efficient, and reliable. Solar and wind are gaining much importance in the present world. It is important to establish renewable energy in an isolated area where the availability of fuel is costly for grid expansion. The procedure of this research was the measuring and collection of the basic meteorological data of solar radiation and wind speed for Parit Raja. The project aims to size the stand-alone system was by using manual calculation and HOMER Pro software. However, solar and wind energy are known as dependable and widely available renewable energy sources in Malaysia, but the intermittent energy sources will cause the power generator to produce a fluctuating output when it's overcast or night-time, one can't power our system utilizing a stand-alone PV system since there is no solar radiation. Similarly, the varying wind speed will affect the amount of energy generated by a standalone wind turbine system. The simulation results showed that a hybrid system consists of 58kW photovoltaic modules with one wind turbine (20 kW), 15kW inverter, and 1 kWh battery storage (48batteries, 200 Ah, and 12 V) produced electricity for a residential hostel and cost of electricity of RM0.703 per Kwh. finally, the PV system ended up being the most cost-effective solution, while also being the most efficient in terms of energy usage

LOGISTICS IN CONTESTED ENVIRONMENTS

This report examines the transport and delivery of logistics in contested environments within the context of great-power competition (GPC). Across the Department of Defense (DOD), it is believed that GPC will strain our current supply lines beyond their capacity to maintain required warfighting capability. Current DOD efforts are underway to determine an appropriate range of platforms, platform quantities, and delivery tactics to meet the projected logistics demand in future conflicts. This report explores the effectiveness of various platforms and delivery methods through analysis in developed survivability, circulation, and network optimization models. Among other factors, platforms are discriminated by their radar cross-section (RCS), noise level, speed, cargo capacity, and self-defense capability. To maximize supply delivered and minimize the cost of losses, the results of this analysis indicate preference for utilization of well-defended convoys on supply routes where bulk supply is appropriate and smaller, and widely dispersed assets on shorter, more contested routes with less demand. Sensitivity analysis on these results indicates system survivability can be improved by applying RCS and noise-reduction measures to logistics assets.Director, Warfare Integration (OPNAV N9I)Major, Israel Defence ForcesCivilian, Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd, SingaporeCommander, Republic of Singapore NavyCommander, United States NavyCaptain, Singapore ArmyLieutenant, United States NavyLieutenant, United States NavyMajor, Republic of Singapore Air ForceCaptain, United States Marine CorpsLieutenant, United States NavyLieutenant, United States NavyLieutenant, United States NavyLieutenant, United States NavyLieutenant, United States NavyCaptain, Singapore ArmyLieutenant Junior Grade, United States NavyCaptain, Singapore ArmyLieutenant Colonel, Republic of Singapore Air ForceApproved for public release. distribution is unlimite

EU Competitiveness in Advanced Li-ion Batteries for E-Mobility and Stationary Storage Applications – Opportunities and Actions

Projected global demand for Li-ion batteries for mobility and stationary storage applications will exceed currently available and known planned production capacities already in the near future. Conditions for establishing a globally competitive Li-ion battery value chain in the EU are identified and enabling measures that the Commission can deploy are proposed.JRC.C.1-Energy Storag

Modeling, Simulation and Optimization of Wind Farms and Hybrid Systems

The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a major governmental goal worldwide. The main target, hopefully by 2050, is to move away from fossil fuels in the electricity sector and then switch to clean power to fuel transportation, buildings and industry. This book discusses important issues in the expanding field of wind farm modeling and simulation as well as the optimization of hybrid and micro-grid systems. Section I deals with modeling and simulation of wind farms for efficient, reliable and cost-effective optimal solutions. Section II tackles the optimization of hybrid wind/PV and renewable energy-based smart micro-grid systems
