Microgeneration Potential in New Zealand
Prepared for Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment Microgeneration Potential in New Zealand A Study of Small-scale Energy Generation Potential by East Harbour Management Services ISBN: 1-877274-33-X May 2006 Microgeneration Potential in New Zealand East Harbour Executive summary The study of the New Zealand’s potential for micro electricity generation technologies (defined as local generation for local use) in the period up to 2035 shows that a total of approximately 580GWh per annum is possible within current Government policies. If electricity demand modifiers (solar water heating, passive solar design, and energy efficiency) are included, there is approximately an additional 15,800GWh per annum available. In total, around 16,400GWh of electricity can be either generated on-site, or avoided by adopting microgeneration of energy services. The study has considered every technology that the authors are aware of. However, sifting the technologies reduced the list to those most likely to be adopted to a measurable scale during the period of the study. The definition of micro electricity generation technologies includes • those that generate electricity to meet local on-site energy services, and • those that convert energy resources directly into local energy services, such as the supply of hot water or space heating, without the intermediate need for electricity. The study has considered the potential uptake of each technology within each of the periods to 2010, 2020, and 2035. It also covers residential energy services and those services for small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can be obtained by on-site generation of electricity or substitution of electricity.

International Journal of Advanced Academic Research | Sciences, Technology & Engineering | ISSN: 2488-9849 Vol. 4, Issue 8 (August 2018) ASSESSMENT OF LOAD INFORMATION OF 2.5 KVA POWER INVERTER AND 5.0 KVA OPERATIONAL CAPACITY OF PHOTOVOLTAIC INVERTER IKIRIGO JUSTIN Department of Science Laboratory Technology (Physics Option), Federal Polytechnic, Ekowe, Nigeria. And OWUTUAMOR FREDERICK TOUN AND ONITA CHUCKWUKA LOVEDAY Department of Electrical Engineering, Federal Polytechnic, Ekowe, Nigeria. ABSTRACT An inverter is a motor control that varies and influences the speed of an Alternating Current induction motor. This is achieved by varying the frequency produced by an AC power to the motor. The study looked at the assessment of load information of 2.5 kVA power inverter and 5.0 KVA operational capacity of photovoltaic inverter. The analysis of 5KVA inverter reveals that Vout (converter) has a required voltage of 48.0 V and yielded an output of 100 V which is 48% voltage difference. Vout (inverter) has a required voltage of 220 V and yielded an output of 220 V which is 100% voltage produced. Pout (converter) has a required power of 700mW and yielded an output of 0.15Mw which is 0.021% less in power difference. Pout (inverter) has a required power of 5kVA and yielded an output of 2.09kVA which is 41.8% less in power difference. Iout (inverter) required is 22.7 A and current output yielded is 9.53 A this also show a percentage difference of 42%. The voltage production of household items is blender, bread toaster, electric iron and energy saver lamp has voltage range of 330, 330, 550 and 110 respectively.

Microgeneration Impact on LV Distribution Grids: a Review of Recent Research on Overvoltage Mitigation Techniques
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL of RENEWABLE ENERGY RESEARCH A.Manzoni and R.Castro, Vol.6, No.1, 2016 Microgeneration Impact on LV Distribution Grids: A Review of Recent Research on Overvoltage Mitigation Techniques António Manzoni*, Rui Castro**‡ *Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, Portugal ** INESC-ID/IST, University of Lisbon, Portugal ‡ Corresponding Author; Rui Castro, INESC-ID/IST, University of Lisbon, Portugal, Tel: +351 21 8417287, [email protected] Received: 17.12.2015- Accepted:16.01.2016 Abstract-Nowadays, due to the increasing rate of microgeneration penetration in Low Voltage distribution networks, overvoltage and power quality issues are more likely to occur in a more and more bidirectional operating grid. This paper offers a recent review on the main techniques available to mitigate and regulate voltage profile: PV generation curtailment, reactive power support, automatic voltage regulation transformers, and battery or super-capacitors energy storage systems. Whenever possible, published results in real and test low voltage grids are called to support each given example. KeywordsOvervoltage mitigation techniques; PV curtailment; Reactive power support; OLTC transformers; Battery Energy Storage. List of acronyms 1. Introduction G – Microgeneration In the last years, there have been major efforts from PV – Photovoltaic governments all over the world and also from European EPIA – European Photovoltaic Industry Association organizations to grow a strong concept of environmental LV – Low Voltage awareness. People have been warned to change consumption DG – Distributed Generation patterns, to reduce fuel fossil consumption and carbon PF – Power Factor emissions. It is in this perspective that renewable energy and, DSO – Distribution System Operator specifically, microgeneration (G) concept arises.

Introduction to and Evaluation of Home Energy Management Systems (Hems)
INTRODUCTION TO AND EVALUATION OF HOME ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (HEMS) by Auria Asadsangabi A capstone project submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Energy Policy and Climate Baltimore, Maryland December 2019 © 2019 Auria Asadsangabi All Rights Reserved Executive Summary Over the course of the Energy Policy and Climate (EPC) program, I spent a formidable amount of time analyzing intelligent energy network market trends and policy implications. From studying the U.S. DOE’s Smart Grid Investment Grant Program (SGIG), researching environmental monitoring technologies, and presenting case studies for smart parking solutions, I became infatuated with the role that emerging technologies, e.g., artificial intelligence, can play in today’s and future energy systems. By putting my professional and academic curiosity into the capstone project, I had an opportunity to culminate all this work into a final project for not only furthering my understanding but to enhance the current literature on this energy paradigm shift. This paper, in particular, explores home energy management system (HEMS) literature for methods and criteria to determine the effectiveness of various HEMS architectures and applications. By tailoring these findings to analyzed load profile data, this paper presents meaningful opportunities where residential consumer energy technology can create value both now and in the future to lower energy use at certain times of the day, match demand with renewable resources on the grid, and evolve capabilities to create a consumer home energy management market. This paper will further emphasize the benefits of using HEMS technology by discussing what a HEMS is, the different business services and applications it provides, how it relates to an average household, and the comparative advantages between the Northeast and West geographic regions and hot and cold climates.
