[IEEE 2018 2nd International Conference on Smart Grid and Smart Cities (ICSGSC) - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2018.8.12-2018.8.14)] 2018 2nd International Conference on Smart Grid and Smart Cities (ICSGSC) - Research of Voltage Stability in 10 kV Distribution Networks during Integrating the 2 MW Solar Power Plant
摘要： In Kazakhstan, a number of measures have been taken to stimulate the introduction of renewable energy, one of which is solar energy [1], [2]. Until 2025, the introduction of solar power plants (SPP) will be 650 MW. When integrating solar panels with inverter coupling into electrical networks, a number of difficulties arise related to the stability of the voltage in transient modes. The converter voltage inverters do not have feedback from the voltage of the external power supply system. Power generation of SPP, as a rule, is only a function of solar radiation and does not depend on the network parameters [3]. In this regard, the actual issue is the introduction of adaptive controllers for controlling inverters, depending on the change in the mode parameters [4], [5]. In this paper, we present the results of studies on the modeling of transient regimes using the example of the SPP with an installed capacity of 2 MW. The virtual model of the PSCad analyzed the stability of the voltage in the event of a short circuit on the 10 kV bus, algorithms and mechanisms for using the intelligent controller for controlling the photovoltaic system were developed.

Dynamic simulation, control, and performance evaluation of a synergistic solar and natural gas hybrid power plant
摘要： Solar power is considered among the leading renewable energy technologies. Abundant supply, flexibility of installation, and decreasing cost makes it an interesting renewable energy resource. However, there are challenges associated with the reliability of solar power due to its intermittent nature. This work demonstrates the synergies that exist in integrated hybrid systems, where a dispatchable fuel is used in conjunction with concentrated solar power. In this simulation-based study, a parabolic trough solar concentrator is used to collect solar energy. The heat collected from the solar field is used to generate steam in a Rankine cycle. The system also utilizes natural gas combustion in the steam generator to provide supplemental steam when the solar intensity is reduced due to cloud cover or at night. Natural gas is also used for superheating the steam, which allows the system to produce higher temperatures and achieve increased thermodynamic cycle efficiencies. This flexible design produces 100 MW at nominal conditions, while it is capable of producing a maximum of 140 MW when sufficient solar energy is available. The novel contributions of this work include a complete, systems-level, dynamic model of a hybrid solar plant. The model is complete with a control system that smoothly transitions the plant from pure natural gas mode at night to solar hybrid mode during the day. It evaluates innovative design features such as flexible fuel operation, steam superheating to boost efficiency, and preheating by solar or waste heat. Furthermore, this work demonstrates that by hybridizing a solar system with a dispatchable energy source, both the reliability and efficiency of the solar power production are increased. The annual solar-to-electric efficiency increases from 15.2% to 26.13% with hybridization, which indicates that utilization of the solar energy is effectively increased.

and above: Experiments and modeling in the optically-thick regime
摘要： This work presents the exploratory experimental results of a co-located solar receiver and thermal energy storage (TES) concept based on a pool of molten glass contained in a cavity, serving as solar receiver and TES medium simultaneously. Distinctive features of the system are the direct and volumetric absorption of solar radiation by the semi-transparent glass and a stationary TES medium. Only the charge cycle was studied, without a heat-removal system. Recycled soda-lime-silica (SLS) container glass of various colors was adopted as working medium in a setup tested at the ETH’s High Flux Solar Simulator (HFSS). A steady 3D heat transfer model of the experimental apparatus, which couples Monte-Carlo ray-tracing and CFD techniques, was developed and validated against the experimental results. The tests used the HFSS as the only energy source, with maximum radiative fluxes of 1.2 MWm?2 and power input of 1.5 kW directly absorbed by the glass, which reached measured temperatures of 1300 °C, while the maximum temperatures –as predicted by the model– exceeded 1500 °C. Such conditions were maintained for 5 to 10 h and no technical problems were encountered with the containment of the hot glass melt. These preliminary results demonstrate that silicate glasses are effective volumetric absorbers of solar radiation up to temperatures exceeding 1300 °C.

Study on the general system integration optimization method of the solar aided coal-fired power generation system
摘要： Solar aided coal-fired power generation (SAPG) has been attracted more and more attentions in recent years. However, its integration and optimization is a rather challenging work. Most of the studies are based on the researches of one or several certain schemes, and no general system integration optimization method (GIOM) considering all possibilities has been proposed. In this paper, a general system integration optimization model is developed, which is configured with 8 virtual molten salt heat exchangers (FHms) and used to simulate any scheme of different integration locations and heat distributions. A SAPG system based on Solar Two plant and a 600 MWe supercritical coal-fired plant is studied. The results show that at the relatively higher heliostat field power (HFP) work conditions, the heat energy should be injected into the highest pressure feedwater heater (FHs) as a priority. While at the relatively lower HFP and higher turbine power work conditions, the heat should be distributed to the two highest pressure FHs in a certain proportion instead of fully distributed to the highest pressure FHs. The performances of both the receiver and the power block are improved. The solar-electric conversion efficiency of SAPG system is obviously higher than that of Solar Two.

[IEEE 2018 International CET Conference on Control, Communication, and Computing (IC4) - Thiruvananthapuram (2018.7.5-2018.7.7)] 2018 International CET Conference on Control, Communication, and Computing (IC4) - Comparative Study of Adaptive Single Sensor Based MPPT for PV Applications with Conventional Algorithms
摘要： Photovoltaic (PV) Systems are becoming vital for the existence of mankind nowadays. From bulk power generation to space exploration applications, PV systems finds an important role. To extract power from PV device it has to be operated at its Maximum Power Point(MPP) for which different MPPT algorithms are used. On a relative study of these different MPPT algorithms it is found that most of them suffers from certain problems such as highly oscillatory response and slow tracking time. Most of these algorithms uses both current and voltage sensors, this adds to the issue of reliability of such MPPTs. Here in this study, a Single voltage sensor based Adaptive MPPT is using different MPPT compared with MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations.

Solar plant with short diffuser concept: Further improvement of numerical model by included influence of guide vane topology on shape and stability of gravitational vortex
摘要： An alternative renewable energy concept, i.e. the concept of a solar power plant with short diffuser (SPD), was numerically investigated by more advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. Developed model is characterized by a more sophisticated and streamlined guide vane topology. The main novelty of this work is conducted optimization of the guide vane topology, for a specific novel application related to the alternative renewable energy concept (SPD). Optimization involved determining the required guide vane topology using minimal number of geometry influencing parameters. The objective was to result in vortex genesis and stabilization with respect to the desired circumferential velocity and to minimize the required pressure potential that is necessary for stable operation of the SDP plant. Provided numerical investigation was necessary, and for sure a step forward towards consideration of the experimental plant (which will assume introduction of the turbines). It needs to be taken into account that we deal with complex flow structure that requires gradual numerical investigation, in order to be able to get detail insight in the various influences and processes that can strongly affect SPD operating parameters. The guide vane topology was altered to develop an SPD capable of establishing and maintaining a stable gravitational vortex in pressure ranges which resemble atmospheric vortex phenomena (feasible for development of a compact system, and with maximal velocities in chimney throat regions below 20 m s?1). The study outlines nine cases, each representing the altered guide vane design, where the best case is determined and compared with the available experimental data from other research groups. The comparison indicates that the numerical model, although quite simple, is accurate and robust in predicting the distribution of local velocity and pressure profiles and fit for implementation on wind turbines in order to determine the influence of the installed turbines on the vortex shape and stability in a future study. An important finding is that the swirl ratio can be manipulated by altering the guide vane shape, and it is independent of the Reynolds number (which will be important during the design phase since it can be used as a control strategy for vortex genesis and as a prevention of unintentional genesis regarding additional multiple vortices). The gained numerical results revealed specific operating conditions that will ensure a safer environment around the SPD and that will enable a carbon free electricity production.

Policy Uncertainties: What Investment Choice for Solar Panel Producers?
摘要： Solar power has achieved great development in the last decade, and it should continue to play a central role in the face of climate change and sustainable development challenges. This paper builds a real options model that provides a microeconomic analytical framework with the Least Squares Monte Carlo (LSM) method to assess the investment choices of a typical solar panel producer in China facing trade and domestic supply- and demand-side policy uncertainties. It builds a baseline scenario and three policy scenarios with decreasing anti-dumping and countervailing charges, constant feed-in tariff (FIT) level and reduced investment cost. A typical producer will have to make an investment decision on building a new production line in five years based on a decision impact analysis within 20 years. The result shows an immediate investment decision for all scenarios. The producer will have higher return from investment in building a solar power plant with a constant FIT. Export is the optimal choice in other scenarios where investment return is lower. After sensitivity analysis, the paper concludes and can be used as a toolkit for solar panel producers and a reference for policy makers to evaluate the impact of policy uncertainties.

AIP Conference Proceedings [Author(s) SolarPACES 2017: International Conference on Concentrating Solar Power and Chemical Energy Systems - Santiago, Chile (26–29 September 2017)] - Techno-economic analysis of a central receiver power plant with different levels of storage capacity and hybridization
摘要： The energy storage and fossil-backup (fossil-hybridization) systems of a concentrating solar power plant (CSP) provide a continuous production of energy all over the year and satisfy the grid demand even when the sun is not shining. One could ask about the behavior of the energy production, or the levelized energy cost, as a function of the energy storage and of the fossil-hybridization in such plants. This paper tries to answer this question. For this task, there have been performed numerous simulations on a central receiver plant with a fixed nominal power, varying the storage capacity and the level of hybridization. The results showed that these variables impact differently. For the thermal storage, from capacities ranging from 0h to 24h, there is a specific intermediary capacity, 15h, in which the levelized energy cost is minimum. But for the fossil-hybridization, this energy cost always decreases with the increment of the hybrid level. The results also showed that, if a given energy production is supported by a certain level of hybridization, its energy cost would be less than that supported by a storage system. This is due to the relatively high investment costs related to the storage system, and the relatively low cost of fuel.

AIP Conference Proceedings [Author(s) SolarPACES 2017: International Conference on Concentrating Solar Power and Chemical Energy Systems - Santiago, Chile (26–29 September 2017)] - Optical performance comparison between heliostat field generation algorithms
摘要： This paper summarizes the collaborative work done by CENER, Fraunhofer ISE and CRS4 within the scope of the STAGE-STE project related to heliostat field generation algorithms and their application to small heliostats (<10 m2). Radially staggered heliostat field layouts have been commonly applied to real solar fields with known results. However, their use in conjunction with small heliostats or the use of brand new ways for heliostat allocation, such natural pattern based algorithms, is still unknown. Herein, the most promising heliostat field generation algorithms are studied and compared, in annual optical efficiency terms, for different scenarios. These efficiencies correspond to the best heliostat layouts found by the optimization process that each generation algorithm can create, for three scenarios. Results show that the fields from the selected algorithms lead to similar optical efficiencies. The slight differences are not enough evidence to nominate one of the algorithms as the best choice, taking into account the inherent error of the simulation tools, the optimization process and further requirements needed in commercial applications (e.g. access paths) not coped in this study.

Review on Li-Fi: an advancement in wireless network communication with the application of solar power
摘要： Light Fidelity, commonly referred to as Li-Fi is a technology that was introduced by a German physicist called Herald Hass. This technology in its own uniqueness considers the use of light (Light Emitting Diode, LED to be specific) as its medium of delivering high speed communication that complies with standard IEEE 802.15.7 bidirectional communication standard. This optical means of communications is also known as visible light communication. It is safer when compared with Wi-Fi network. This paper will focus on Li-Fi applications, comparison with existing technologies like Wi-Fi and the inclusion of an alternative source of power i.e., solar power, as a means of effectively optimizing on the availability and accessibility of the benefits in places where erratic or total power outage is a common trend.
