Ashok, VV (author), Onwudinanti, C (author), Chandra Mouli, G.R. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Currently PV modules are positioned to receive the highest amount of incident radiation in a year. Therefore, the generation pattern is independent of the consumption and a large storage is required to compensate for the same. This paper studies the possibility of orienting the modules differently in order to match the consumption more efficiently.conference paper 2015

Grazian, F. (author), Shi, W. (author), Soeiro, Thiago B. (author), Dong, J. (author), van Duijsen, P.J. (author), Bauer, P. (author)In high-power wireless battery charging that uses inductive power transfer, a considerable amount of power losses are located in the transmitter and receiver coils because they carry high resonant currents and typically have a loose coupling between them which increases eddy current losses. Therefore, the nominal operation needs to be chosen...conference paper 2020

Koolman, George (author), Stecca, M. (author), Bauer, P. (author)The high pulsating demand of fast charging stations (FCS) may cause monthly demand charges to account for a significant fraction of a station's electric bill. To reduce these costs, demand charge management can be applied to suppress peak power demands at FCSs, also using battery energy storage systems (BESS). This paper proposes a multi...conference paper 2021

Baalbergen, F. (author), Bauer, P. (author), Ferreira, J.A. (author)Diesel generators in small electricity grids are mostly not used in a very efficient way. The reason for this is twofold. First of all, the efficiency of a diesel generator is dependent on the ratio determined by the average power divided by the peak power of the generator. The smaller this ratio is, the lower the efficiency. Furthermore, some...journal article 2009
