Micro-grid system is presently considered a reliable solution for the expected deficiency in the power required from future power systems. This book presents a micro-grid system based on wind and solar power sources and addresses issues related to the operation, control, and stability of the system. Using Matlab/Simulink, the system is modeled and simulated to identify the relevant technical issues involved in the operation of a micro-grid system based on renewable power generation units.

Mikronetzsysteme gelten derzeit als zuverlässige Lösung für den erwarteten Mangel an Energie, die von zukünftigen Energiesystemen benötigt wird. In diesem Buch wird ein Mikronetzsystem vorgestellt, das auf Wind- und Solarenergiequellen basiert, und es werden Fragen im Zusammenhang mit dem Betrieb, der Steuerung und der Stabilität des Systems behandelt. Mit Hilfe von Matlab/Simulink wird das System modelliert und simuliert, um die relevanten technischen Probleme zu identifizieren, die beim Betrieb eines Mikronetzsystems auf der Grundlage erneuerbarer Energieerzeugungseinheiten auftreten.

Le système de micro-réseau est actuellement considéré comme une solution fiable à la déficience attendue de la puissance requise par les futurs systèmes électriques. Ce livre présente un système de micro-réseau basé sur des sources d'énergie éolienne et solaire et aborde les questions liées au fonctionnement, au contrôle et à la stabilité du système. À l'aide de Matlab/Simulink, le système est modélisé et simulé afin d'identifier les questions techniques pertinentes liées à l'exploitation d'un micro-réseau basé sur des unités de production d'énergie renouvelable.

Solar street lights are raised light sources which are powered by solar panels generally mounted on the lighting structure or integrated into the pole itself. The solar panels charge a rechargeable battery, which powers a fluorescent or LED lamp during the night. Some technologies provide short-term energy storage, while others can endure for much longer. In this work, an intelligent smart street light system for remote areas is implemented, the major benefits and drawbacks of SSL are identified, and the feasibility of SSL in remote areas is evaluated using a case study of a remotely street...

Due to lack of electricity, high diesel prices and CO2 emissions, solar power for water pumping is a good alternative and an appealing choice for conventional diesel-based pumping systems. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of solar water pumping systems from a technical and economic point of view; to estimate the optimal system size and compare it with conventional diesel pumping systems in order to fulfill water requirements for irrigation and livestock needs. The selected site is an isolated agriculture area located Fayoum City, Egypt with a maximum required power of 443...
