Dc House Modeling And System Design, Jessica E. Chaidez Jun 2011

Dc House Modeling And System Design, Jessica E. Chaidez

Electrical Engineering

This project entails the study and design of DC power distribution for the DC House Project. Wire size, common high efficient loads, maximum power input, and different distribution system implementation (ring or radial) play a major role when designing an efficient, low-voltage distribution system. Efficiency is determined based on which main bus voltage powers all the loads with minimal power loss. Power efficiency is heavily dependent in DC-DC converter efficiencies due to the power loss in converting the voltage from high to low, or vice versa. Selection of the wire size plays a major role in power losses. There are …


Steady-State And Transient Performance Of Oman Transmission System With 200mw Concentrated Solar Power Plant, Omar H. Abdalla, Rashid S. Al-Badwawi, Hilal S. Al-Hadi, Hisham A. Al-Riyami, Ahmed Al-Nadabi Dec 2010

Steady-State And Transient Performance Of Oman Transmission System With 200mw Concentrated Solar Power Plant, Omar H. Abdalla, Rashid S. Al-Badwawi, Hilal S. Al-Hadi, Hisham A. Al-Riyami, Ahmed Al-Nadabi

The paper presents steady-state and transient studies to assess the impact of a 200MW Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant connection on the Main Interconnected Transmission System (MITS) of Oman. The CSP plant consists mainly of a solar field with parabolic trough collectors, two thermal storage tanks, heat exchangers, piping systems, steam turbine, and electric generator. Two proposed locations are considered to connect the CSP plant to MITS: Manah and Adam 132/33kV grid stations in Al-Dakhiliah region. The transmission grid model of 2015 has been updated to include the simulation of the proposed 200MW CSP at either Manah or Adam. The …
