Contribution to the design and control of a hybrid renewable energy generation system based on reuse of electrical and electronics components for rural electrification in developing countries

While the Cambodia’s government is making effort to increase electricity production for its energy demand, it still remains dependent on the existing or the expansion of the centralized grid lines which have high initial investment cost. The temporally solution is to employ a distributed energy generation system which has lower life cycle cost and provides a diversity of technologies to meet the desired applications. Minimizing environmental impacts represents a major objective of sustainable development considering resources depletion and the limited capabilities of the environment to adapt. The potential of renewable energy resources has been well understood as the solutions to power rural development and to reduce the environmental impacts of energy generation. Due to advance in technologies and increasing consumer demands, there has been a vast amount of electrical and electronic waste which introduces severe impacts on the environment. The current strategies mainly rely on conventional waste collection and processing techniques for material recovery. This thesis proposed a solution of reusing discarded components in an isolated hybrid renewable energy system as the solution for electrification of rural Cambodia. This is frugal innovation, local solution with local materials for and with local people. A suitable configuration for the proposed system is a solar-hydro hybrid generation system since solar and water resources are plentiful in rural Cambodia. The components that are reused in the solution after being discarded include computer power supply units (PSUs) for the solar part, uninterruptable power supply units (UPSs) and three phase induction machines for the electrohydro part. Used auto-mobile batteries will be used for the system storage. The thesis presents in the first part the evaluation of the environmental impacts of the proposed reuse solution for rural electrification. The study of the environmental impacts is based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology which compares the life cycle impacts of the proposed solution to that of a conventional solution. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis is achieved in order to evaluate the impacts of uncertainties of the environmental impacts. The second part of this work deals with the technological aspects of the reuse solution in both theory and experimentation. The first part of this aspect is focused on the repurposing of used computer power supply units (PSUs), through limited modifications of the circuits in order to increase its range of operation. The PSU which usually contains one of a few types of isolated DC-DC converters is repurposed as charge controller with MPPT control in a cheap micro-controller with very good results. The last part of this thesis studies a new configuration of generators based on re-used three-phase induction motors. The proposed single-phase generator is based on a three-phase machine in a modified version of the coupling and with a rather uncommon supply. Modelling is highly investigated. An inverterassisted topology where two windings will be supplied separately by two inverters for excitation and the remaining winding is connected to load. A new modeling of the generator has been studied. The results of simulation were compared to experimental test results in open loop study. These results have demonstrated the advantages of the new configuration in comparison to the previously proposed inverter-assisted topology in term of efficiency and minimization of torquerippl

Insights from the Inventory of Smart Grid Projects in Europe: 2012 Update

By the end of 2010 the Joint Research Centre, the European Commission’s in-house science service, launched the first comprehensive inventory of smart grid projects in Europe1. The final catalogue was published in July 2011 and included 219 smart grid and smart metering projects from the EU-28 member states, Switzerland and Norway. The participation of the project coordinators and the reception of the report by the smart grid community were extremely positive. Due to its success, the European Commission decided that the project inventory would be carried out on a regular basis so as to constantly update the picture of smart grid developments in Europe and keep track of lessons learnt and of challenges and opportunities. For this, a new on-line questionnaire was launched in March 2012 and information on projects collected up to September 2012. At the same time an extensive search of project information on the internet and through cooperation links with other European research organizations was conducted. The resulting final database is the most up to date and comprehensive inventory of smart grids and smart metering projects in Europe, including a total of 281 smart grid projects and 90 smart metering pilot projects and rollouts from the same 30 countries that were included in the 2011 inventory database. Projects surveyed were classified into three categories: R&D, demonstration or pre-deployment) and deployment, and for the first time a distinction between smart grid and smart metering projects was made. The following is an insight into the 2012 report.JRC.F.3-Energy securit

Decarbonising fishery ports through smart cluster energy systems

The rising energy prices at seaports and fishing industries pose a major challenge because the pace of work and high demand for fish products has increased dra‐matically. This comes at a time of growing international pressure and global moti‐vations to address climate change and reduce carbon emissions in many different sectors of the economy. In the literature review, a few research studies were found to highlight the op‐timal use of power energy in ports, while some studies proposed certain measures that contribute to some extent to reducing energy consumption and carbon emis‐sions. However, there is an absence of a study that discusses the possibility of de‐veloping a holistic energy analysis and management that can be scaled from a site to a community level to achieve economically and environmentally viable benefits to the community. The research study that is described in this thesis aims to develop a compre‐ hensive integrated system for the optimal use of energy in seaports through the de‐velopment of a smart grid system that is based on the renewable energy at Milford Haven Port, which was developed and used as an applied case stud. It is hoped that this study will contribute to reducing energy prices and that the port will achieve economic benefits by sharing its surplus power with the national grid. A five‐stage research methodology has been developed, starting with the pro‐ cess of collecting and analysing data on fishery buildings, known as and energy audit. It then develops energy simulation models at the port using energy simula‐tion software. The next stage aims to propose a smart grid model at multi‐levels, namely a building, port and a community of 200 houses around a fishery port. The next stage consists of the development of two smart decision‐making systems: the first aimed at sharing surplus power with the neighbours of the port through a Peerto Peer (P2P) energy sharing approach; and the second aims to achieve financial in‐comes for the port by selling surplus power to the national grid when energy prices rise, a price‐based control strategy is used in this system The model was developed and tested within 24 hours on randomly selected days during the four seasons of the year. The simulation was characterised by the fact that it was carried out instantaneously to get an accurate result, which resem‐ bles a real‐life system. In addition, the optimal number of energy storage systems was determined at multi‐levels, which achieve the self‐sufficiency of the electric power that is needed to meet the energy demand during the day. Finally, a proposed road map has been developed to achieve nearly zero carbon fishery ports that can be applied to different ports in different locations
