a mobile off grid platform Powered with photovoltaic wind battery fuel cell hybrid Power systems
International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2013Co-Authors: Suha M Yazici, Ayhan H Yavasoglu, Mustafa ErogluAbstract:Abstract Cross utilization of photovoltaic/wind/battery/fuel cell hybrid-Power-system has been demonstrated to Power an off-grid mobile living space. This concept shows that different renewable energy sources can be used simultaneously to Power off-grid applications together with battery and hydrogen energy storage options. Photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy are used as primary sources and a fuel cell is used as backup Power. A total of 2.7 kW energy production (wind and PV panels) along with 1.2 kW fuel cell Power is supported with 17.2 kWh battery and 15 kWh hydrogen storage capacities. Supply/demand scenarios are prepared based on wind and solar data for Istanbul. Primary energy sources supply load and charge batteries. When there is energy excess, it is used to electrolyse water for hydrogen production, which in turn can either be used to Power fuel cells or burnt as fuel by the hydrogen cooker. Power-to-Gas and Gas-to-Power schemes are effectively utilized and shown in this study. Power demand by the installed equipment is supplied by batteries if no renewable energy is available. If there is high demand beyond battery capacity, fuel cell supplies energy in parallel. Automatic and manual controllable hydraulic systems are designed and installed to increase the photovoltaic efficiency by vertical axis control, to lift up & down wind turbine and to prevent vibrations on vehicle. Automatic control, data acquisition, monitoring, telemetry hardware and software are established. In order to increase public awareness of renewable energy sources and its applications, system has been demonstrated in various exhibitions, conferences, energy forums, universities, governmental and nongovernmental organizations in Turkey, Austria, United Arab Emirates and Romania.

Gas to Power market and investment incentive for enhancing generation capacity an analysis of ghana s electricity sector
Energy Policy, 2016Co-Authors: Jorik Fritsch, Rahmatallah PoudinehAbstract:Ghana's electricity generation capacity is currently insufficient to meet demand, making Power outages and load shedding common. The resulting impact is potentially devastating for the country's growth prospects. Traditionally, lack of an affordable and reliable fuel supply for Power generation, coupled with ineffective institutions and an unfavourable investment climate, have resulted in Ghana's electricity sector performing poorly. In light of the 2007 discovery of natural Gas reserves in Ghanaian waters, this paper examines whether domestic Gas could advance the performance of the electricity sector, and if so, how. The results of our analysis show that utilization of Gas reserves in Ghana's Gas-to-Power market is an economically superior strategy compared to an export-oriented utilization scheme. The lack of an effective regulatory framework for investment, skill shortages, and an inefficient electricity pricing structure continue to be the main constraining factors. Our analysis also considers possible approaches to modification of the electricity tariff in order to send the right signal to potential investors in generation capacity, without compromising the affordability of Power supply.
