The ASPCS compensates the fluctuating electric power of renewable energy sources such as wind and photovoltaic power generations by means of the SMES having characteristics of quick response and large Input-Output power, and hydrogen energy with FC-EL having characteristics of moderate response and large storage capacity. The moderate fluctuated power of the renewable energy is compensated by a trend forecasting method with the Artificial Neural Network. In case of excess of the power generation by the renewable energy to demand it is converted to hydrogen with EL. In contrast, shortage of the electric power is made up with FC. The faster fluctuation power that cannot be compensated by the forecasting method is effectively compensated by SMES. In the ASPCS, the SMES coil with an MgB2 conductor is operated at 20 K by using liquid hydrogen supplied from a liquid hydrogen tank of the fuel cell vehicle station. The necessary storage capacity of SMES is estimated as 50 MJ to 100 MJ depending on the forecasting time for compensating fluctuation power of the rated wind power generation of 5.0 MW. As a safety case, a thermosiphon cooling system is used to cool indirectly the MgB2 SMES coil by thermal conduction. In this paper, a trend forecasting result of output power of a wind power generation and the estimated storage capacity of SMES are reported.展开更多

The temperature dependent parameters of the equation of state have been calculated using corresponding state correlation based on only the density at 298.15 K as scaling constants. The obtained mean of deviations of modified equation of state for density of all pure ionic liquids for 1662 data points was 0.25%. In addition, the performance of the artificial neural network(ANN) with principle component analysis(PCA) based on back propagation training with28 neurons in hidden layer for predicting of behavior of binary mixtures of ionic liquids was investigated. The AADs of a collection of 568 data points for all binary systems using the EOS and the ANN at various temperatures and mole fractions are 1.03% and 0.68%, respectively. Moreover, the excess molar volume of all binary mixtures is predicted using obtained densities of EOS and ANN, and the results show that these properties have good agreement with literature.展开更多
