Considering the importance of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries and attention that study their degradation deserves, this work provides a review most important battery state health (SOH) estimation methods. The different approaches proposed in literature were analyzed, highlighting theoretical aspects, strengths, weaknesses performance indices. In particular, three main categories identified: experimental methods include electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) incremental capacity analysis...
This article addresses the design of a fully automated photovoltaic (PV) power plant inspection process by fleet unmanned aerial and ground vehicles (UAVs/UGVs). More specifically, we consider problem assigning set target points to be inspected UAVs/UGVs so as minimize overall energy consumption while accounting for battery degradation vehicle deterioration. In order cope with combinatorial complexity problem, propose suboptimal resolution strategy that integrates graph-theoretic approach...
A battery testing system with software/hardware interface is presented and accurately described in each phase of its realization so as to be easily reproduced a laboratory if this paper were tutorial. Such allows study the charging discharging behavior batteries according customized cycles, by acquiring data such voltage current, well taking into account effect temperature.
The main problems of the non programmable generation proliferation, mainly photovoltaic, are related to angle and frequency stability power system. Therefore, new rules make distributed participate in network needed. Consequently, national international grid codes have been updated requiring generators supply ancillary services, such as voltage regulation, ensure right level adequacy safety systems. Most LV connected PV inverters only setup inject at unity factor, meaning they produce active...
Abstract The main problems of the non-programmable generation proliferation, mainly photovoltaic, are related to angle and frequency stability power system. Therefore, new rules make distributed participate in network needed. Consequently, national international grid codes have been updated requiring generators supply ancillary services, such as voltage regulation. Most LV connected inverter based systems only setup inject at unity factor, meaning they produce active power. However, Italian...
Abstract The need to ‘rethink’ the concept of Distribution, both at planning and operational levels, arises from emergence Distributed Generation paradigm, mostly installed in LV networks. existing arrangements for management, protection control distribution networks are typically inadequate this ever-increasing presence Generation. Consequently, national international grid codes have been updated requiring distributed generators be involved by supplying ancillary services, such as voltage...
The electrification and flexibilization of residential, commercial industrial sites are attracting interest for the potential sustainability benefits. Anyway end to solution testing is still not simple lack dedicated sites. In particular, DSO TSO working with emulation or innovative fixed configuration; therefore grid services more complicate. this scenario, Enel X developed two living labs, called Lab, in Rome Catania; scope technologies testing. final paper present XLabs some actual...
