Beyond a low-energy and low-exergy building concept, the mechanical system that converts energy resources to useful mechanical power and HVAC functions need to be optimized for maximum efficiency with minimum energy waste and exergy destruction. This paper provides a new analytical algorithm, which optimizes the CHP, absorption chiller, heat pump, alternative energy and power systems like wind and solar, TES, PES, and HVAC terminal unit combinations and capacities for a given building. A case study is presented for several mechanical system scenarios. Results show that lower CO2 impact buildings are possible even when fossil fuels are used.

A MEMS thermoelectric energy harvester for energy generation in mobile systems Topal, Emre Tan; Külah, Haluk; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2011) In this thesis design, optimization, fabrication and performance characterization of MEMS thermoelectric (TE) energy harvesters for harnessing waste heat in mobile systems are presented. As a proof of concept, chromium and nickel are used as the thermoelectric material in the proposed design. The feasibility of the state of the art thermoelectric materials is also discussed. MEMS TE energy harvesters proposed in this study are designed to generate power at relatively lower ΔT values. The performance of the ...
A wideband electromagnetic micro power generator for wireless microsystems Sari, Ibrahim; Balkan, Tuna; Külah, Haluk (2007-06-14) This paper presents a wideband electromagnetic (EM) vibration-to-electrical power generator which can efficiently scavenge energy and generate steady power over a predetermined frequency range. Power is generated by means of electromagnetic induction using a magnet and coils on top of resonating cantilever beams. The reported generator covers a wide band of external vibration frequency by implementing a number of serially connected cantilevers in different lengths. The device generates 0.5 mu W continuous p...
A Study of IGBT Rupture Phenomenon in Medium Frequency Resistance Welding Machine Saleem, Jawad; Majid, Abdul; Haller, Stefan; Bertilsson, Kent (2011-09-10) Inverter drive resistance spot welding machines are becoming a good choice of welding because of the increased machine efficiency and output power. The DC link capacitors in spot welding equipment store a large amount of energy. In case of any failure, the IGBT in the inverter has a risk of exhibiting a violent rupture. This rupture can damage the converter, drive down time and personal injury which may lead to the machinery certification problems. IGBT failure detection and solution for protection of these...
An investigation of optimum PV and wind energy system capacities for alternate short and long-term energy storage sizing methodologies Al-Ghussain, Loiy; Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth (Wiley, 2019-01-01) The goal of this study is to find the optimal sizes of renewable energy systems (RES) based on photovoltaic (PV) and/or wind systems for three energy storage system (ESS) scenarios in a micro-grid; (1) with pumped hydro storage (PHS) as a long-term ESS, (2) with batteries as a short-term ESS, and (3) without ESS. The PV and wind sizes are optimally determined to accomplish the maximum annual RES fraction (F-RES) with electricity cost lower than or equal to the utility tariff. Furthermore, the effect of the ...
A methodology to assess suitability of a site for small scale wet and dry CSP systems Uzgoren, Eray; Timur, Eray (2015-06-25) This study presents a methodology to assess suitability of a site for small scale concentrated solar power (CSP) systems for its energy conversion efficiency and make-up water requirement. Energy conversion efficiency of CSPs relies not only on the level of direct solar radiation but also on the performance of the cooling system. Regions with high solar potential have to deal with heat rejection at elevated temperatures which causes reduced energy conversion efficiencies due to high condenser temperatures. ...
