Cost Factors

A combustion engine-driven vehicle can be made more fuel efficient over some drive cycles by, for example, introducing electric machines and solutions for electrical energy storage within the vehicle’s driveline architecture. The possible benefits of different hybridization concepts depend on the architecture, i.e., the type of energy storage, and the placement and sizing of the different driveline components. This paper examines a diesel electric plug-in hybrid truck, where the powertrain includes a diesel engine supported with two electric motors, one supporting the crank shaft and one the turbocharger. Numerical optimal control was used to find energy-optimal control strategies during two different accelerations; the trade-off between using electrical energy and diesel fuel was evaluated using a simulation platform. Fixed-gear acceleration was performed to evaluate the contribution from the two electric motors in co-operation, and individual operation. A second acceleration test case from 8 to 80 km/h was performed to evaluate the resulting optimal control behavior when taking gear changes into account. A cost factor was used to relate the cost of diesel fuel to electrical energy. The selection of the cost factor relates to the allowed usage of electrical energy: a high cost factor results in a high amplification from electrical energy input to total system energy savings, whereas a low cost factor results in an increased usage of electrical energy for propulsion. The difference between fixed-gear and full acceleration is mainly the utilization of the electric crank shaft motor. For the mid-range of the cost factors examined, the crank shaft electric motor is used at the end of the fixed-gear acceleration, but the control sequence is not repeated for each gear during the full acceleration. The electric motor supporting the turbocharger is used for higher cost factors than the crank shaft motor, and the amplification from electrical energy input to total energy savings is also the highest.

Electric motors and boilers lead the industrial components which consume the largest portion of energy in an industry. This study explores the energy audit data of the condiment industry in India. The study mainly focuses on the estimation of the load factor, energy use, energy savings and annual bill savings with payback period of the electric motors of the plant. During the audit, it was found that there were several motors running under loaded conditions despite non-availability of variable speed drives installed in the plant. Therefore, variable speed drives are recommended to be installed to save energy by reducing the motors speed by up to 60%. According to the estimation, about 276 MWh, 551 MWh and 827 MWh electrical energy can be saved for 20%, 40% and 60% speed reduction of the motors using variable speed drives, respectively, where in most of the cases the payback period remains below 1 year. Furthermore, some suggestions are made to improve the poor power factor of running motors by using capacitor banks to save the reactive power. Besides, an estimation of energy saving is performed with a 2-ton capacity boiler. Since, there was no heat recovery system in the boiler; an air-preheater is suggested to be installed at the end of flue gas exhausting path of the boiler with the purpose of saving 68 tons of fuel per annum and having a payback period of 12 months. Moreover, a digital monitoring system, namely, “The Smart Joules” has been proposed to be installed in the plant aiming at saving about 3–5% of total energy per annum and having a payback period of 19 months. Finally, a summarization is made concluding in the fact that about 90 MWh energy and 95 tons of fuel can be saved (excluding motor energy savings) per annum by implementing proposed measures with a payback period of 15 months.

It is impossible to imagine any modern mechanism in any field of technology that has not been driven by an automated electric drive. In the electric drive, the main element that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy is an electric motor, which is controlled by converters and control devices in order to form static and dynamic characteristics of the electric drive that meet the requirements of the production mechanism. Equipment for the production and use of compressed air is universal and safe, it is widely used in modern industry. Compressed air is used as a source of energy, a medium for cleaning (purging), a means of transportation and even as a source of cold. Air compressors make up more than 80% of the total compressor fleet. Compressed air production and distribution systems in industry consume up to 10% of electricity. Unfortunately, there is an opinion that compressed air is cheap, although only 5-10% of the consumed electricity is spent on useful mechanical work. The cost of producing compressed air is 5-15% of the cost of production, and for some industries reach 30% or more. Reciprocating, centrifugal, and in recent years screw compressors have been widely used as air compression machines. In agricultural production, compressors are used to supply air and gases of the main or by-products of the technological cycle. These machines are common in gas supply systems. Compressors are also widely used in gas turbines. The laboratory stand for research of the piston compressor is modernized. On the basis of technical and economic indicators the electric drive system is selected, the electric motor is calculated and selected, it is checked with heating, overload capacity and start-up conditions, characteristics in statistical and dynamic modes are investigated, and also electric schemes of SAEP of the main lifting mechanism are developed. To verify the correctness of the adopted design methods, modeling was performed in Matlab.

Residential water heaters use a substantial amount of electrical energy and contribute to 25% of the energy usage in the residential sector. This raises concern for users in countries with flat rate electricity fees and where fossil fuels are used for electricity generation. Demand side management of tanked water heaters is well suited for energy-focused load reduction strategies. We propose a strategy for providing an electric water heater (EWH) with the optimal temperature planning to reduce the overall electrical energy usage while satisfying the comfort of the user. A probabilistic hot water usage model is used to predict the hot water usage behaviour for the A*-based optimisation algorithm, which accounts for water stratification in the tank. A temperature feedback controller with novel temperature and energy-correcting capabilities provides robustness to prediction errors. Three optimal control strategies are presented and compared to a baseline strategy with the thermostat always on: The first ensures temperature-matched water usages, the second ensures energy-matched water usages, and the third is a variation of the second that provides Legionella prevention. Results were obtained for 77 water heaters, each one simulated for four weeks. The median energy savings for predicted usage were 2.2% for the temperature-matched strategy, and 9.6% for both of the energy-matched strategies. We also compare the practical energy savings to the ideal scenario where the optimal scheduling has perfect foreknowledge of hot water usages, and the temperature and energy-matched strategies had a 4.1 and 11.0 percentage point decrease from the ideal energy savings.

Railway Vehicles

An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy for railway vehicles. When developing the electric motor, it used to be developed simply for structures or control methods of the motor itself without considering convergence with other devices or technologies. However, as the railway vehicles become more advanced, technology development through convergence with other devices or technologies is spreading. Therefore, based on patent data related to the electric motors applied to the railway vehicles, this research aims to carry out technical forecasting for establishing research and development (R and D) direction for new technologies by predicting vacant technologies from the point of view of technology convergence. In other words, we studied how to find the vacant technologies in a field of convergence technology for the electric motor of the railway vehicles by analyzing the patent data. More specifically, we search the patents data associated with the electric motor of the railway vehicle that contain multiple IPC codes, and use multiple IPC codes to determine the field of convergence technology. In addition, we extract keywords from the patents data related to each of the determined convergence technologies and define the vacant technologies by interpreting the field of convergence technology and the extracted keywords.

Abstract The transport industry, as any other sector, has been permanently challenged by both the continuously stringent environmental standards and the energy efficiency requirements, which has driven a set of initiatives focused on both the fuel burn reduction and the environmental performance improvement. The rail sector currently relies on the efficient and local zero emission electrical traction for the medium to heavy density corridors. However, for the light to medium density corridors (both passenger and freight), given the high upfront costs associated with the electrical infrastructure, they are currently required to rely on fossil fuel based traction (often, the diesel-electric) architecture, with an inherent efficiency and environmental burden. The advent of hybridization, i.e. the use of more than one power source in a powertrain (mainly — but not restricted to — an internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric motors (EM), associated with an electrical energy storage device - ESD) — currently a feasible approach for the automotive sector — has opened the way for the rail industry, as an opportunity to improve the energetic efficiency and reduce the environmental footprint for the aforementioned low to medium density rail corridors, without the cost burden of an electrical infrastructure. The hybrid powertrain efficiency drivers are basically: i) kinetic energy recovery, through the use of the regenerative braking (i.e. using electric motors as generators, to recover part of the train’s kinetic energy); ii) improved engine performance, avoiding the low efficiency (low load) engine range and iii) engine downsizing (engine power requirement reduction, as it is assisted by the electric traction on power bursts). From an environmental perspective, the reduced fuel consumption also means lower emissions. Moreover, hybrid configurations might also reduce noise and gaseous engine emissions within/nearby stations or urban rail yards, by switching off internal combustion engines, running the train and powering auxiliary systems with the previously stored electrical energy on the ESD. Finally, for electrified rail lines, the hybrid rail configuration might also provide the so called last mile capability, used to circumvent non electrified rail stretches, like bridges or tunnels, as well as small extension non electrified rail segments. This work presents a review of hybrid rail technology, covering hybrid configuration and energy storage devices, from both a technical, operational and environmental perspective, supported on current available technical literature, as well as on simulation and field test reports, followed by a near to mid term outlook of hybrid rail technology for both freight and passenger segments.

The commissioning of nuclear power plants in Belarus sets out wide tasking for the efficient usage of electrical energy in various electrical systems, instruments and devices. Specifically, it concerns the stationary and special-purpose electric motors. At present, they use bipolar motors with a collector – the switch of the motor armature windings during its rotation. However, there is a completely different type of motors that does not require a collector – the unipolar electric motor-generator. Some of its properties allow it to be used where the commutator motor is unsuitable, for example, in explosive and fire hazardous environments (sparking on the collector is unacceptable), in precision devices where extreme smoothness and vibration lack are required, etc. Physico-mathematical foundations of the unipolar motor-generator (moving media electrodynamics, Lorentz force, unipolar induction, magnetohydrodynamics) are described in a number of monographs and textbooks, for example, in [1–4]. The purpose of this article is to pay attention to the technical feasibility of the unipolar motor-generator in a design with separated conductors in the rotor drum.

Abstract Airflow rates through each plenum port of 71 peanut dryers were measured in situ and ranged from 5 to 15 m3/min/m3. Dryers with one fan, or two fans in tandem, and with four or more plenum ports had lower airflow rates through the two ports closest to the fan(s) than through the other ports unless there was a V-shaped baffle in the plenum. Airflow rates were nearly equal in dryers with baffles. Simulation results for curing peanuts from 25 to 10% moisture content predicted a reduction in curing time from 61 to 46 h as airflow rate increased from 5 to 10 m3/min/m3. Little reduction in curing time resulted from increasing airflow rates above 10 m3/min/m3. Electrical energy consumption increased from 17 to 246 kWh/trailer and LP-gas consumption increased from 135 to 274 L./trailer as airflow rate increased from 5 to 15 m3/min/m3. Installing a baffle in a dryer to balance the airflow rates to individual drying trailers resulted in seasonal curing time and energy savings ranging from 0.5% to 3.5% for dryers with average airflow deviations. Economic return from installing a baffle in a dryer should pay for the cost of installation in one to three years.
