Renewable energy technologies offer the promise of clean, abundant energy gathered from self-renewing resources such as the sun, wind, water, earth, and plants. In this thesis a detailed modeling of hybrid power generation system of solar, wind and small hydro has been developed in Matlab. The simulation includes all realistic components of the system. In this thesis, the power delivered by the combine system component is compa red with each other and various conclusions are drawn. We have proposed a model of 5MW that contains 3MW of small hydro plant, 1 MW of solar plant and 1 MW of wind plant. We have prepared a cost analysis report that indicates it is profitable to go for such model as it satisfies our current and future energy demands. Moreover the electricity generated by the proposed model is available at a very lesser rate as compared to our current electricity tariff rates.

Renewable energy technologies offer the promise of clean, abundant energy gathered from self-renewing resources such as the sun, wind, water, earth, and plants. In this thesis a detailed modeling of hybrid power generation system of solar, wind and biomass has been developed in Matlab. The simulation includes all realistic components of the system. In this thesis, the power delivered by the combine system component is compared with each other and various conclusions are drawn. The various advantages and disadvantages of the system are compared, and a cost analysis of the system is carried on with the present system.

Abstract As industrialization, worldwide population growth, and improvements in the living standards in developing countries continue, demands for energy, food, and water, likewise surge. This in turn accelerates global warming, and its resultant extreme weather effects. Among the measures proposed to meet the growing energy demands, the use of renewable energy is gaining more and more attention. In particular, wave power generation is attracting a great deal of attention as an effective use of ocean energy. However, current wave generators are large and very expensive relative to their output. Furthermore, they cannot generate power efficiently with wave directivity, small amplitude waves and so on. For these reasons, widespread use is very limited. In order to solve these problems, this paper discusses the possibility of a recently developed wave power generator that uses a newly developed dielectric elastomer (DE) as a new way to harvest renewable energy. We also discuss the technical breakthrough of building a mega power generation system using DEs.

PurposeThe power industry is the pillar industry of the Chinese economy, and also a major carbon emitter. The performances of both the production and operation of the power industry are crucial for a harmonious development of society. This study proposes an improved data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to analyze the sustainable performance of China's power supply chain (PSC).Design/methodology/approachTo analyze the sustainable performance of PSC systems in China's provincial regions, this study proposes a two-stage directional distance function (DDF) model. The proposed model not only considers the leader–follower game relationship between the power-generation system and the retail system, but also considers the factors that measure the sustainability level of the PSC.FindingsThe proposed model is applied to assess the sustainable performance of the PSCs of China's provincial regions. The findings are valuable and mainly include the following aspects: First, compared with other models, this study regards the intermediate variable of the power system as a freely disposable variable; therefore, the efficiency of the proposed model is more realistic. Second, the average efficiency of China's power retailing system is generally lower than the average efficiency of its power-generation system. Third, significant regional differences affect the power-generation efficiency, while the regional differences in power retail efficiency are not significant. The power-generation performances of PSCs in East China and Northeast China are generally higher than in other regions.Originality/valueThis study introduces the convex technique into a DEA model and thus proposes an improved two-stage DDF DEA model. In response to the game-theoretic inherent in power systems, this study also introduces the leader–follower game into the two-stage model. In addition to the theoretic novelty, all PSCs can be classified with this model. Moreover, specific recommendations for each type of PSCs are proposed based on the efficiency results, thus providing vital guidance for the practice.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are becoming more and more popular. In all sectors of society can see the presence of unmanned aerial vehicles. However, the short flight time and flight distance always restrict the development of UAV. The most imminent and creative work is how to make the perfect combination of new energy technologies with UAVs. In this paper, a wind-solar hybrid power generation system and its operation scheme design are discussed, and the application of the wind solar hybrid power generation system controlled by a single-chip microcomputer is discussed. The experimental results show that this kind of power generation system and its operation scheme are improved compared with the conventional design.
