Design for Operations

Abstract

Designs are usually done in a well-lit, air conditioned, comfortable room under idealized assumptions. The reality of the operation is very different. For designers to be able to design systems and procedures that work well under realistic dynamic work conditions, they must understand the reality of the operation and of the operators. The talk discusses the gap between the idealized design and the real operation and proposes a framework, THE Model, for designing systems and procedures fit for real operations.

Wind Turbine Design Optimization for Hydrogen Production

To help meet the need for inexpensive green fuels, we are working on wind turbine design optimization specifically for hydrogen production. We have thus far achieved a 1.53% decrease in LCOH as compared to a turbine optimized for LCOE using the same code, design variables, and models . We accomplished this by optimizing some components of the wind turbine tower, rotor, and drivetrain design with hydrogen production and costs in the design loop.

Laboratory-Scale Microgrid System for Control of Power Distribution in Local Energy Networks - Part I: Theory and Design

One of the promising solutions to achieve sustainable energy systems in future smart cities is to deploy microgrids in local energy networks. Due to the decentralized nature of microgrids, large-scale utilization of these resources will increase the reliability of the energy systems as well as facilitating the integration of renewable energy resources to enable more environmentally-friendly energy network. This chapter presents development of a highly reconfigurable, laboratory-scale microgrid testbed. The proposed microgrid system integrates several distributed generation (DG) units representing photovoltaic panel, wind turbine, battery energy storage and etc. The schematic of the proposed system can be customized to investigate numerous grid architectures and control scenarios. In this study, the loads and energy resource allocation are realized by assessment of the loads and resources priority. Therefore, a hierarchical procedure will take place to allocate the power to different buses in microgrid. In the next chapter, we describe the test-bed implementation of the designed microgrid.

Laboratory-Scale Microgrid System for Control of Power Distribution in Local Energy Networks - Part II: Implementation and Case Study

In this chapter, we provide the detailed implementation of the proposed microgrid framework in part I. As a case study, a droop-based load sharing algorithm with the capability of controlling the active and reactive power have been implemented. Several load sharing scenarios have been studied to verify the capability of the suggested prototype in performance evaluation and verification of different control strategies in microgrid systems. The performed experiments confirm the capacity of the proposed structure in microgrid research and development (R&D), as well as education.
