Abstract

The Energy and natural resources ministry (KeTSA) of Malaysia has introduced the net energy metering (NEM) 3.0, which provides an opportunity for consumers to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to reduce electricity bills. The NEM 3.0 introduces three new initiatives that offer 500 MW quota from 2021 till 2023. NEM has been implemented since 2016, replacing the feed-in tariff (FiT) strategy by promoting the users to utilize the generated energy in the first place before selling any surplus to the utility. As in the FiT strategy, users can only sell the generated energy at a fixed rate without utilizing it. This paper presents the comparative study between NEM and FiT for 496 kWp solar photovoltaic system in UiTM Segamat, Johor in the perspective of economy and energy practice based on the simulation result of MATLAB/Simulink software.

Abstract

This paper presents the optimal location and sizing of capacitors to reduce the total power losses as well as its investment cost for a distribution system in a building. The capacitors location and sizing will be randomly chosen repetitively, via Stochasitic optimization method using MATLAB® and SIMULINK® software. The optimal capacitors location and sizing will be picked via analysis and comparisons between the results. The result shows improvement in power losses with minimal investment cost whilst providing optimal sizing and location of capacitors to be installed in a building.

Abstract

This paper proposes an optimization technique for distributed generation (DG) sizing in power system. The DG placement was done through Loss Sensitive (LS) technique to determine the suitable locations. The LS index is calculated such that the change in power losses is divided with generation increment and a rank of buses is obtained to identify the suitable locations for DG placement.  Subsequently, a meta-heuristic algorithm, known as Firefly Algorithm (FA) was run to obtain the optimal size or capacity of the DG. The installation takes into consideration the aspect of voltage stability in terms of total real power losses and voltage profiles to be improved in the distribution system. Based on the experiment, the real power losses and voltage profiles were improved significantly as a result of the DG placement. In addition, the installation could prevent the power system from collapse as the reactive loading was increased to maximum.

Abstract

This paper presents a research on designing a heat engine known as the Stirling engine. The first task is to study on the background of Stirling engine including its robustness, advantages and disadvantages, history and its ability to produce useful energy. Gamma type Stirling engine will be the main focus for this paper. Thus, an effort has been made in determining a suitable formulation that will be used to design a functioning Gamma Stirling engine. This formulation can be divided into several criteria, the Stirling cycle method used to find the p-V diagram of Stirling engine, the 0th order calculation method used as a preliminary system analysis on the efficiency and performance of the engine and lastly, the Schmidt Analysis whereby used in dealing with the design and development of the engine. This formulation is then arranged accordingly into Excel programming software. As for the hardware analysis, it will be on the performance of the Stirling engine model in term of its electrical power production based on different heat source. At the end of this project, it shows that the obtained formulations can be used in designing the Gamma Stirling engine and are capable to produce an output power from the Stirling engine.

Abstract

Harmonic is one of the power quality disturbances customarily imminent in an unbalanced electrical system. Harmonic represents as the multiple integral of fundamental frequency of voltage and current inflicting towards the shifting in system frequency causing to a disruptive operation of electrical devices. This paper investigates on the performance of passive filter intrinsically by utilizing the inductor and capacitor electrical components to mitigate harmonic problem emanating from an unbalanced electrical system. In particular, explication in this paper will focus on the optimal parameters specification for the double tuned passive filter that used to overcome the phenomenon of harmonic issue. The two case studies constituting with different number of harmonic orders injected in a system were introduced to distinguish effectiveness of double tuned passive filter in solving the aforesaid problems. The parameters configuration of the passive filter are automatically tuned by the MATLAB® software to reduce the total harmonic distortion incurred in a system designed under the Simulink® software.

Abstract

This paper presents the conceptual design of Stirling engine based Alpha and Beta configurations. The performances of Stirling engine based Beta configuration will be expounded elaborately in the discussion. The Stirling engines are durable in its operation that requires less maintenance cost.  The methodology for both configurations consists of thermodynamic formulation of Stirling Cycle, Schmidt theory and few composition of flywheel and Ross-Yoke dimension. Customarily, the Stirling engine based Beta configuration will operate during the occurrence of low and high temperature differences emanating from any type of waste heat energy. A straightforward analysis on the performance of Stirling engine based Beta configuration has been performed corresponding to the temperature variation of cooling agent. The results have shown that the temperature variation of cooling agent has a direct effect on the performances of Stirling engine in terms of its speed, voltage and output power.

Abstract

Parallel with the urbanization of the world, energy demand in the world also increased. The increase in energy demand will require a power system to be operated near its stability limit. To mitigate the problem, Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices can be installed as a compensation scheme to improve voltage security in a power system. For an effective compensation, FACTS devices should be optimally allocated in a power system. Although optimization techniques can be implemented to optimally allocate these devices, problems have been reported which would affect the performance of the optimization techniques in terms of producing high quality solutions. This paper presents the implementation of Chaotic Immune Symbiotic Organisms Search for solving optimal Static VAr Compensator (SVC) allocation problem for voltage security control. The optimization is validated in IEEE 26-Bus Reliability Test System (RTS) realizes the capability of CISOS in solving the optimization problem. Comparative studies with respect to Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Evolutionary Programming (EP) resulting in good agreement on the results and demonstrated superior performance of CISOS. Results of the study can be beneficial to power system community in terms of compensation planning prior to real world implementation.
