This work highlights the modelling and simulation of a micro-grid connected renewable energy system. It comprises of wind turbine (WT) based on doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), photovoltaic generator (PV), fuel cell (FC) generator, a Hydrogen tank, a water electrolyser used for long-term storage, and a battery bank energy storage system (BBESS) utilized for short-term storage. In this paper, a global control strategy and an energy management strategy are proposed for the overall system. This strategy consists in charging the BBESS and producing hydrogen from the water electrolyser in case of power excess provided from WT-DFIG and photovoltaic generators. Therefore, the FC and the BBESS will be used as a backup generator to supply the demand required power, when the WT-DFIGs and the PV energy are deficient. The effectiveness of this contribution is verified through computer simulations under Matlab/Simulink, where very satisfactory results are obtained.Citation

Thermal Comfort and Energy: CFD, BES and Field Study in a British Open Plan Office with Displacement VentilationEnergy efficiency and thermal comfort are necessary in designing the workplace. Accurate computational modelling and analysis methods are useful to improve the design, energy consumption and user’s comfort. This study compared the results of combined Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Building Energy Simulation (BES) with the contextual data collected through a Filed Study of Thermal Comfort (FSTC) regarding user comfort and energy in a workplace. The building was a six storey open plan office in Aberdeen, built in 2011, with displacement ventilation, “very good” BREEAM and “B” energy ratings. Each floor had 175 workstations, 1680m2 office area and approximately 3.5m2 per workstation. Thermal comfort surveys and environmental measurements were applied. The results were compared with the CFD modelling of the ventilation and thermal performance, PMV and BES energy predictions. The simulation results were in good agreement to that of the field data, indicating over 70% slightly cool and 25% neutral. The combination of CFD and BES improved the accuracy of the simulation and provided important information on optimising energy and the thermal environment. This combined simulation is useful and recommended in the design phase to achieve the balance of energy and comfort in the workplace.

On the causal dynamics between emissions, nuclear energy, renewable energy, and economic growthThis paper examines the causal relationship between CO2 emissions, nuclear energy consumption, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth for a group of 19 developed and developing countries for the period 1984–2007 using a panel error correction model. The long-run estimates indicate that there is a statistically significant negative association between nuclear energy consumption and emissions, but a statistically significant positive relationship between emissions and renewable energy consumption. The results from the panel Granger causality tests suggest that in the short-run nuclear energy consumption plays an important role in reducing CO2 emissions whereas renewable energy consumption does not contribute to reductions in emissions. This may be due to the lack of adequate storage technology to overcome intermittent supply problems as a result electricity producers have to rely on emission generating energy sources to meet peak load demand.
