Assessment of solar energy potential in Gaza Strip-Palestine
摘要: Renewable energy sources and technologies have the potential to provide solutions to the energy problems. Solar energy can be an important part of the Palestinian’s strategies not only to add a new capacity but also to increase energy security, addressing the environmental concerns. In this paper, e?orts have been made to summarize the current status, availability, and future potential of solar energy options in Gaza Strip. Solar radiation data was provided by Meteoblue AG – Switzerland [www.meteoblue.com] as hourly time-series for 15 years from 2000 to 2015 for ?ve cities in Gaza Strip, which are geographically presenting the entire Gaza Strip. Jabalia, Gaza, Deir-Albalah, Khan-Yunis, and Rafah. These data are used directly to evaluate the potential of solar energy in the three selected sites by means of the System Advisor Model (SAM) from National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) software. The potential of solar energy in Palestine using Photovoltaic (PV) and concentrating (CS) solar systems have been discussed. The present study can be considered as a road-map to get out of the electricity crisis in the Gaza Strip and to end the su?ering of Gazians. In this work, two scenarios are suggested, the ?rst one is urgent, it stipulates to generate the demand load (552 GWh/year) by means of (PV) solar power systems. While the second scenario is leading to terminate the reliance on imported energy by producing all the energy needs locally via (PV) solar system. The study reached to determine the ?nancial budget, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), and the technical parameters for both scenarios. The urgent action is building up a 555 MWp of (PV) solar system on the rooftop of Gaza Strip’s buildings. This will cost about 800 million $US and the expected price of electricity will be ranged between ($US 0.07–0.11) per kWh, which is four times less than the present price ($US 0.29–0.46) per kWh. The solar energy can lay a strong foundation for an independent the Palestinian state, generate employment opportunities, alleviate poverty and provide a visionary approach to the dreams of Palestinian youths.

[IEEE 2018 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE) - Portland, OR, USA (2018.9.23-2018.9.27)] 2018 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE) - Current-Fed Quasi Z-Source Inverter Based PV Distributed Generation Controller
摘要: Recently, the renewable photovoltaic distributed generation (PV-DG) enjoys a rapid growth globally due to the advancement in solar systems and power electronics technologies. However, the intermittent nature of solar radiation and performance of the attached power converters, inevitably poses some challenges to the power grids integrated large-scale solar-farms (SF). These challenges include frequency oscillations, voltage variation and power quality issues. To overcome these problems, this study proposes a Current-Fed quasi Z-source Inverter (CF-qZSI) as an alternative converter for distribution generation controllers to facilitate the integration of a PV energy source into a weak power system. The detailed model of the CF-qZSI-based distribution controller (CqZDC) and its control system are developed. The dynamic performance of the CqZDC device is evaluated to validate different objectives using an actual field data and RTDS simulation platform.

Replacing Flat Rate Feed-in Tariffs for Rooftop Photo-voltaic Systems with a Dynamic One to Consider Technical, Environmental, Social and Geographical Factors
摘要: A flat rate feed-in tariff (FiT) is a traditional incentive offered by many utilities around the world to encourage their customers to invest in electricity generation from renewable sources such as rooftop photovoltaic systems (RPVs). It is designed by financial techniques that mostly consider the initial capital cost and electricity spot price. However, such an incentive cannot help the utilities to address the technical challenges in networks with large renewable penetration. In this paper, a dynamic FiT is designed based on the value of electricity, hosting capacity, ambient temperature and time of day. The developed method uses Fuzzy logic to convert these parameters into a time-varying FiT. This FiT will specifically support utilities that experience challenges in the electrification of remote areas or observe excessive stress on their networks at demand peak periods. The proposed FiT encourages the rural customers to install RPVs while discouraging the urban customers from installing RPVs without battery storages. The performance of the developed FiT is validated numerically and its capability is evaluated by analyzing the annual revenue, net present value and payback periods.

Life cycle sustainability analysis applied to an innovative configuration of concentrated solar power
摘要: Purpose Life cycle sustainability analysis (LCSA) is being developed as a holistic tool to evaluate environmental, economic and social impacts of products or services throughout their life cycle. This study responds to the need expressed by the scientific community to develop and test LCSA methodology, by assessing the sustainability of a concentrated solar power (CSP) plant based on HYSOL technology (an innovative configuration delivering improved efficiency and power dispatchability). Methods The methodology proposed consists of three stages: goal and scope definition, modelling and application of tools, and interpretation of results. The goal of the case study was to investigate to what extent may the HYSOL technology improve the sustainability of power generation in the Spanish electricity sector. To this purpose, several sustainability sub-questions were framed and different analysis tools were applied as follows: attributional and consequential life cycle assessment, life cycle cost (LCC) analysis and multiregional input-output analysis (MRIO), and social life cycle assessment (S-LCA) in combination with social risk assessment (with the Social Hotspots Database). Visual diagrams representing the sustainability of the analysed scenarios were also produced to facilitate the interpretation of results and decision making. Results and discussion The results obtained in the three sustainability dimensions were integrated using a Bquestions and answers^ layout, each answer describing a specific element of sustainability. The HYSOL technology was investigated considering two different operation modes: HYSOL BIO with biomethane as hybridization fuel and HYSOL NG with natural gas. The results indicated that the deployment of HYSOL technology would produce a reduction in the climate change impact of the electricity sector for both operation modes. The LCC analysis indicated economic benefits per MWh for a HYSOL NG power plant, but losses for a HYSOL BIO power plant. The MRIO analysis indicated an increase in goods and services generation, and value added for the HYSOL technology affecting primarily Spain and to a lower extent other foreign economies. The social analysis indicated that both alternatives would provide a slight increase of social welfare Spain. Conclusions The methodological approach described in this investigation provided flexibility in the selection of objectives and analysis tools, which helped to quantify the sustainability effect of the system at a micro and meso level in the three sustainability dimensions. The results indicated that the innovation of HYSOL power plants is well aimed to improve the sustainability of CSP technology and the Spanish electricity sector.

Peroxymonosulfate enhanced antibiotic removal and synchronous electricity generation in a photocatalytic fuel cell
摘要: Photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC) is promising owing to its synchronous organic pollutants removal and energy recycle, but it still remains to improve in the cell performance. Herein, we demonstrate a synergistic method adding peroxymonosulfate (PMS) into PFC to promote antibiotic tetracycline (TC) degradation and simultaneous electric power generation. The introduction of PMS could be activated by the photoelectric effects, also used as the electrolyte and electron acceptor, which could enhance the photoelectrocatalysis and spread the reaction space from the electrode surface to the whole system. Herein, the PFC/PMS augmented the TC decontamination by 82.83% and electricity production by 122.40% versus the PFC without introducing PMS, respectively. In addition, factors controlled namely PMS dosage, solution pH, and UV intensity were investigated for the cell performance of the coupling system. Furthermore, UVeVis spectrum and TOC analysis con?rmed the destruction mineralization of TC. Moreover, a series of radicals quenching experiments were implemented to explore the cooperative elimination mechanism, and the results indicated that hydroxyl and sulfate radicals played the key roles at the acidic condition, and the direct oxidation of PMS dominated the chief effect at the neutral environment, and singlet oxygen and superoxide anion acted the primary function in the alkaline circumstance.

Effects of nitrogen-dopant bonding states on liquid-flow-induced electricity generation of graphene: A comparative study
摘要: We fabricate, measure and compare the effects of the bonding states of dopant nitrogen atoms in graphene devices, specifically on the liquid-flow-induced electricity by these devices. We find that nitrogen doping enhances the voltage induced by liquid flow regardless of the nitrogen bonding state. However, different nitrogen bonding states affect graphene’s conductivity differently: while graphitic nitrogen is suitable for electricity-generation applications, pyridinic nitrogen is hopeless for this purpose, due to the formation of symmetry-breaking defects of the latter.

Thermophotovoltaic applications in waste heat recovery systems: example of GaSb cell
摘要: In this study, it is aimed at evaluating real data in high temperature GaSb cell thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems. The TPV systems are considered as an alternative energy source in terms of efficient use of waste heat, cost and efficiency. The TPV system can be defined as a system that converts waste heat energy emitted from heat sources into electrical energy at high temperature. In this context, efficiency and parameters of TPV GaSb cells have been determined in laboratory conditions. The conversion of the high temperature applied to the cell to electrical energy has been investigated by selecting the GaSb photovoltaic cell as the cell type. According to the analysis have been done so far, TPV high-temperature real graphics have been obtained using GaSb cell. The temperature parameters used are, namely, cell temperature and source temperature. With these graphs, energy efficiency, fill factor, effect of open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current values have been determined. While the efficiency value of the GaSb TPV cell systems was calculated, the radiation source temperature values have been taken in increments of 300 K between 1300 and 3100 K. In this analysis, the optimum energy conversion efficiency values of GaSb solar cell structure have been detected to be 21.57%. Opinions about the feasibility, efficiency and development of thermophotovoltaic energy conversion systems are stated, and suggestions are presented.

Smart charging of electric vehicles considering photovoltaic power production and electricity consumption: a review
摘要: Photovoltaics (PV) and electric vehicles (EVs) are two emerging technologies often considered as cornerstones in the energy and transportation systems of future sustainable cities. They both have to be integrated into the power systems and be operated together with already existing loads and generators and, often, into buildings, where they potentially impact the overall energy performance of the buildings. Thus, a high penetration of both PV and EVs poses new challenges for cities. With a potentially large increase in PV and EV penetration, understanding of the synergies between PV, EVs and existing electricity consumption is required. Thus, a high penetration of both PV and EVs poses new challenges. Understanding of the synergies between PV, EVs and existing electricity consumption is therefore required. Recent research has shown that smart charging of EVs could improve the synergy between PV, EVs and electricity consumption, leading to both technical and economic advantages. Considering the growing interest in this field, this review paper summarizes state-of-the-art studies of smart charging considering PV power production and electricity consumption. The main aspects of smart charging reviewed are objectives, configurations, algorithms and mathematical models. In order to achieve certain objectives, smart charging schemes can be based on optimization or rule based algorithms. The smart charging schemes also vary in terms of control configuration, i.e., centralized and distributed, and depend on spatial configuration, i.e., houses, workplaces and charging stations. Various charging objectives, such as increasing PV utilization and reducing peak loads and charging cost, are reviewed in this paper. The different charging control configurations, i.e., centralized and distributed, along with various spatial configurations, e.g., houses and workplaces, are also discussed. After that, the commonly employed optimization techniques and rule-based algorithms for smart charging are reviewed. Further research should focus on finding optimal trade-offs between simplicity and performance of smart charging schemes in terms of control configuration, charging algorithms, as well as the inclusion of PV power and load forecast in order to make the schemes suitable for practical implementations.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia (ISGT Asia) - Chengdu, China (2019.5.21-2019.5.24)] 2019 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia (ISGT Asia) - Optimized Operation of Photovoltaic and Pumped Hydro Storage Hybrid Energy System in the Electricity Market
摘要: At present, the electricity market is relatively free and open for investors. With the development of the renewable energy technology, investing in a hybrid renewable energy system, such as photovoltaic-pumped hydro storage (PV-PHS) and wind-battery hybrid energy system, in the electricity market may be a promising choice for investors to obtain the profits. Therefore, in this paper, the optimal operation strategy of the PV-PHS hybrid energy system in the electricity market is proposed. The sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method is used to find the optimal operation strategy with maximum income. Moreover, the influence of various rated power of the reversible pump and capacity of the upper reservoir on the daily income is investigated. The results show the PHS have a significant improvement on the daily income, especially when the fluctuation of the electricity price is high.

Measurement setup for differential spectral responsivity of solar cells
摘要: We have developed a setup for measuring differential spectral responsivities of unifacial and bifacial solar cells under bias light conditions. The setup uses 30 high-brightness LEDs for generating a quasi-monochromatic light source covering the wavelength range 290–1300 nm. Halogen lamps are used to generate bias-lighting conditions up to the irradiance level of 1000 W/m2. The setup has been fully characterized for spectral irradiances and spatial uniformities of all light sources. Validation measurements carried out using a reference cell of 2 × 2 cm2 area from Fraunhofer ISE demonstrated an agreement better than 2% over the wavelength range of 425–940 nm, with an expanded uncertainty of 2.6%. In the UV and IR regions, the discrepancies are higher but still within estimated uncertainties. The setup is also tested in measuring spectral responsivities of large 15 × 15 cm2 bifacial solar cells. The associated problems are discussed.
