Problem Set 01, Problems 5 and 6. Two first order systems, one mechanical, one electrical
Great wind resource review. This has helped me immensely as I've studied this in college, but it's been some time since I've needed to have the knowledge on hand. Thank you Dr. Gardner!
the presentation is very informative and useful, thanks so much John!
Hello Professor, I have Stephenson I six bar mechanism. Which approach would be better to solve the theta values on it ? I have theta2 value and torque on mechanism with the link distances
Thanks John
can you explain why we need 2 functions here? it makes sense that for two unknowns we need two equations. but to find the roots of one function from R^2 to R, why do we need a second function? what is this second function? is it somehow related to the original function?

Okay I know this is from 9 years ago but I'm hoping by some miracle you can help me today. When I do the spider chart and I change one of the variables, a portion of the gradient for another variable changes completely (goes from positive to negative gradient) and I can't understand why or what that means. I really hope you see this, it's driving me crazy!
Well, you're right, it was a long time ago, but let's see if we can't figure this out. I don't recall the details of the Homer sensitivity analysis, but I can speak to the general concept. You need to keep in mind that the underlying problem (microgrid design) is highly nonlinear. Unlike some nonlinear problems, this one is characterized by a lot of discrete nonlinearities. So the change in one variable could pop you over into another completely different domain. Say for example the by-back price for excess electricity was much less than the retail price being displaced. If your current design is below net zero, then the economics might look very favorable, and an incremental increase in capacity has a positive economic impact. However, if you increase the generation capacity above net zero, then the the economics are quite different and an increment increase could easily have a negative impact. Does this sound like the problem you're having? Hope it helps. JFG
@@johngardner2979 Wow thanks so much for replying! Your explanation is really helpful. So when you set the sensitivity variables to different values, is it that the chart is showing you those set values as if they are the base case? So each combination of variables is its own case? Basically, I was expecting that as you change the values, the respective lines retained their gradient and just shifted laterally left or right, depending on if the value was set to be higher or lower. So that's why I was really confused when the line did that whole flip. But I guess that has do with the non-linearity you talked about. Ok so the variables in question are the grid (retail) price and wind speed as relates to the NPC. When I increase the grid purchase price above a certain value, a portion of the wind speed gradient (the higher speeds) flips from positive to negative, meaning that high wind speed goes from increasing the NPC to decreasing it. I was assuming that wind speed and capacity are linearly correlated (I was thinking inversely proportional so that as speeds rise, less capacity is needed) but from your explanation I'm guessing it's not that simple. I'm thinking what I need to do is figure out the possible reasons why high wind speeds might increase or decrease the NPC. I was thinking that the only factor was wind capacity (high wind speed -> less capacity-> lower NPC) but maybe it's more than one factor. So for example, at higher grid prices, when high wind speeds decrease the NPC it could be because the model favours less wind capacity AND less grid purchases. Or at lower grid prices, when high wind speeds increase the NPC, it could be because of increased grid purchases, or increased capacity to capitalise on a sellback rate, or a combination of the two ??? Can you tell me if I'm thinking along the right lines? Sorry for the long paragraph. Lol typing this out helped me to think. Thanks a lot for the help though. I'll keep trying to wrap my head around it.
Thanks for the explanation, it really helped a lot
Thanks boss
Just one question: is there the possibility to meet the load with the configurations that Homer creates without write in input which one to simulate manually? I mean, maybe the best configuration could be one that I didn't choose to simulate in the search space. Thank you
Superb introduction, thanks so much. One small thing: I noticed that in the summary bar of the first wind rose you show (from Wikipedia), the %s add up to only around 97%. I'm guessing the rest might have been gusts exceeding the maximum speed which the rose cover.
Um
the HOMER tutorial
Hello Professor, 2nd input is velocity or acceleration. I am confused, Could you please elaborate it. Thanks!
The second input to the 'stickslip' function is the velocity of the block. The acceleration will be computed by taking the sum of forces and dividing by mass. Does this help?
@@johngardner2979 Yup got it. Thanx!
Excellent video
How to calculate cooling load and heating load using hommer software?
is it $155,902.36?
Thanks for disseminating your excellent knowledge. This helped me a lot.
Hi. I'm testing HomerSIP, my scenario is several asterisk, I built a VM just for HomerSIP, and I configured my asterisk to send data to HomerSIP, but I can't find how I can configure HomerSIP to receive this data. I am Brazilian, and looking for a configuration manual, which helps me in a practical way. where can I find ?
Thanks John
Does this still apply if the pivots for the crank and follower are offset? Is a translation to a global coordinate system needed?
For an offset slider crank, then the R1 vector would have both x and y components (the y being the offset) but the rest of the analysis works fine.
Thank you Mr. Gardner
THANK YOU. But, how I can download this?
Hello John , please how can I get crack for this program
Thank you! Dear Professor John, your videos about HOMER are just so helpful!
can you make an pv*diesel*battery plants model connected to the distribution grid
Thanks for the video, It was really helpful.
good work
Great stuff, really helped me understand how this method works. Thank you! Are you familiar with how to cite an instructional video like this?
Could you show the function commands into excel please? This is incredibley frustrating. The concepts are clearly understandable but as students we are not taught the specific inputs for excel. Skipping to the final output of the graph doesnt help the badly needed technically understanding.
Hello John I am currently writing my Masters thesis and your videos on HOMER have been incredibly useful! At the end of this video you are about to talk about unmet electrical load and capacity shortage but your computer crashes. This is an area in my results I am struggling to make sense of. It would be much appreciated if you could explain a little about them? using the example you have in you video would be fine.
Martha: Thanks for the kind words about the video. This might be an easier conversation to have outside of the TH-cam comments pages. You should be able to find my email through my university web site.
Nice video, Is very important to install the barometric and temperature sensors in order to calculate the air density of the site, and then to select the best turbine according to its power curve.
8:01 over 4.
Thank you for sharing this John. I was wondering, would it be possible to know more about how to compute the LDC in Matlab?? I see that's the program you use in the video. Thanks again!
What book is this based on?
Hi Mark: It's based on "Renewable and Efficient Electric Power Systems" by Gil Masters, 1st edition. There's a new edition out that doesn't treat this area (load duration curves) nearly as well. I suspect Dr. Masters did that because this analysis doesn't do a very good job of integrating wind and solar so it's less relevant now than it once was.
John Gardner thanks! Will get that book. Any idea on the best state university for phd in renewable energy planning?
Dear sir, I used homer and it appeared "An invalid argument was encountered. " Can you tell me how to solve this problem?
Thank very helpful
The graph showing Estimated US Energy Use in 2010, you pointed wrong about solar. In that case, only 0.01 (no unit) of solar were used to produce electricity and 0.10 were used to residential heating (solar thermal technology). When renewables that don't convert fuels into electricity are represented in figures for households, they are represented as final values. i.e. all the losses through the renewable system were already taken into account.
whats the book you are referring to ?
It's "Efficient and Renewable Electric Power Systems" by Gil Masters: www.amazon.com/Renewable-Efficient-Electric-Power-Systems/dp/1118140621
Thank you very much. Also I would like to ask if you can recommend any other books for LCOE models for electricity generation. I am masters student currently studying economics without having a previous economics degree.
Good Evening John! You have literally made me understand differential equation to Simulink block diagram conversion within these few videos. Thank you very much. I would like to know if you perhaps have any resource regarding the position correction via either PID control or some sort of feedback element? I have been struggling for hours to get the position of the ball to stay at the 0.007 m position.
thanks for the detailed explanation
Very good explanation and very informative. How I wish that the voice audio is much better.
I appreciate the comment. This was one of my earlier lectures, before I started using the headset. Hopefully I'll have time soon to re-record it.
Excellent video, tks
it is a beautiful and useful explanation so thanks
