Abstract

A sensitivity analysis is carried out on the parameters of a photovoltaic water pumping system (PVWPS) for domestic water supply in rural areas. The results show that the photovoltaic modules peak power, the motor-pump efficiency, and the water tank volume strongly influence the system performance. This highlights that these parameters constitute judicious optimization variables. Besides, the cost of the motor-pump, the cost of the water tank, and the lifetime of the PVWPS have the largest impact on the system cost. These six parameters are therefore of primary importance for the technoeconomic optimal sizing of the system. Finally, it is shown that the hydraulic losses play a minor role and that it is not necessary to consider the evolution of the ambient temperature when modeling PVWPS for domestic water supply. This study can be useful to nongovernmental organizations, companies, and governments which install PVWPS for domestic water access. It can help them to determine the accuracy at which a given parameter has to be known to correctly model or size these systems. Besides, it can allow them to evaluate the robustness of PVWPS sizing to parameters variation with time and may guide their choice of components. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This paper focuses on a two-dimensional (2-D) analytical model for a fast computation of magnetic losses due to eddy currents in the permanent magnets as well as iron losses in the ferromagnetic parts within coaxial magnetic gears. The magnetic field distribution is computed in yokes and permanent magnets by solving both Maxwell's equations, whereas for pole pieces, the magnetic field is computed by coupling the previous analytical model with a reluctance network model. Both the eddy current losses and iron losses are determined from this hybrid analytical model. The iron loss model takes into account the temporal and spatial variations of flux density. The eddy current loss model takes into account the magnet splitting. Results of this magnetostatic eddy current loss model are then compared to the results obtained with a 2-D magnetodynamic finite element model. A verification of validity limits is also proposed. The final function of this analytical model is to ensure integration into a set of models in the aim of a global mechatronic optimization of magnetic gears, for their insertion into multimegawatt wind turbines. A preliminary bi-objective, mass-efficiency optimization protocol is subsequently proposed along with an analysis of the computation time reduction via the presented models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

International audience; We will report herein on three control strategies and the pre-design methodology of an electromagnetic generator for wave energy recovery. We will start by describing the wave energy converter (WEC) concept studied within the context of the SEAREV project [1]. Power takeoff (PTO: the generator) behavior results from strong coupling between hydrodynamic, mechanical and electrical phenomena, leading to a complex device design problem. We will also present the three pertinent control methods. A design methodology has been laid out on a swell cycle that, despite being of limited duration, is representative of the study problem.

5. Computation Time Analysis of the Magnetic Gear Analytical Model.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the computation time and precision of a linear 2-D magnetic gear analytical model. Two main models of magnetic gears are studied: 1) the first with an infinite relative permeability of yokes and 2) the second with a finite relative permeability of yokes. These models are based on the subdomain resolution of Laplace and Poisson equations. To accurately compute the magnetic field distribution, it is necessary to take into account certain harmonics of the various rings and other system harmonics due to modulation. Global system harmonics, which increase the value of computation time, must also be taken into account. If the magnetic gear has a high pole number, then computation time increases even more and no longer allows for system optimization. This paper proposes to compute magnetic field distribution using different harmonic selection methods in order to significantly reduce the computation time for the magnetic torque without any loss of accuracy.

6. Sizing Optimization of Tubular Linear Induction Generator and Its Possible Application in High Acceleration Free-Piston Stirling Microcogeneration.

Abstract

We usually find applications of rotary induction generator, direct-drive tubular linear permanent-magnet generator, etc. for the mechanoelectrical conversion process within Stirling microcogenerator systems. This paper presents the design optimization investigation for a direct-drive tubular linear induction generator for a dual free-piston Stirling microcogenerator system. On the one hand, a high oscillating frequency and a relatively long piston's travel bring about a very high acceleration of the generator's moving part, up to 1018 m/s 2. On the other hand, the tubular linear induction generator offers many interesting assets in this application: low weight mover, appearance of levitation force, no mechanical spring, low mechanical losses, no cogging force, easy manufacture, very low investment and maintenance cost, and so on. However, the tubular linear induction generator is sparsely used, because of its a priori relatively low energetic efficiency. This paper presents a sizing optimization approach for maximizing the performance and demonstrates that, with an astute arrangement of electrical devices, the tubular linear induction generator can constitute a well adapted solution for free-piston Stirling microcogenerator systems.

7. Sizing Optimization Methodology of a Surface Permanent Magnet Machine-Converter System Over a Torque-Speed Operating Profile: Application to a Wave Energy Converter.

Abstract

This paper sets forth a sizing optimization methodology of a surface permanent magnet machine-converter system over a torque-speed operating profile. The two optimization objectives are to minimize the cost of the machine-converter system and to minimize (or maximize) electrical energy consumption (or generation). The optimization parameters serve to describe both the machine geometry and the electrical ratings of the electronic power converter. Each operating point of the profile is treated independently, and current control is optimized at every operating point to not only minimize machine drive losses but also satisfy several constraints and then implicitly considering flux-weakening possibility. This optimization methodology is generic and is applied to a particular case: a direct-drive conversion chain for a wave energy converter (WEC). We show that taking into account both the sizing parameters of the converter and the flux-weakening control, in addition to the classical sizing parameters of the machine, has a strong impact on the machine-converter system optimal results. Moreover, the strong coupling with the WEC through damping parameters plays also a crucial role on the sizing results. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Subjects

Abstract

This paper will begin by presenting two power takeoff (PTO) technologies for the SEAREV wave energy converter (WEC) followed by the design methodology applied to electromagnetic generator cycles for the all-electric solution. The operating principle associated with the SEAREV WEC will be described before discussing the two conversion technologies intended to transform wave energy into electricity. The types of systems are twofold: hydroelectric and all-electric. The strong coupling between the hydrodynamic, mechanical, and electrical phenomena heavily influences the behavior of the recovery (PTO) system and leads to a complex system design that requires a full-scale modeling description. A unique design methodology for the all-electric conversion chain has been developed around several distinct control modes, including one featuring power leveling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

International audience; In this paper, the authors present the energy production potential of a mechanically-resonant electrical generator system, which makes use of natural human walking movements. The characteristics associated with the human walk will be discussed first, followed by the electromechanical modeling approach employed. The choice of electromechanical architecture will be justified and the permanent magnet and moving coil structure can then be modeled and optimized. A demonstration device has also been generated and tested in order to validate the concept developed as well as the theoretical models derived.
