Overdimensioned system

In linear regression problems (Buzzi-Ferraris and Manenti, 2010b), the parameters b that noinimize the residuals of the overdimensioned system... 

The system (3.78) can be considered as the normal system that minimizes the sum of least squares of (3.81). In fact, it can be obtained via the same procedure adopted with the matrix F. Therefore, it can be solved by QR factorizing the overdimensioned system (3.81). This has the advantage of resulting in better conditioning, as in the case of linear regressions, but the overdimensioned system (3.81) also benefits from it since it can be QR factorized with a number of flops in the order of thanks to its special structure. 

It is also advisable to look at the linear system (7.68) from a different perspective. It can be viewed as the solution with the minimum Euclidean norm of the residual vector of the following overdimensioned system ... 

In fact, the equations that solve this problem are the ones from (7.68). Once this feature has been detected, it is possible to directly solve the overdimensioned system (7.69) and (7.70) as follows. 

According to these results, in the PV-hydrogen autonomous power system the PV panels should be overdimensioned in order to totally remove the diesel generator. In addition, the optimisation process showed that the battery bank can be removed, but in real systems a small battery bank is always necessary in order to take over the load for a small period of time (ca. 10 s) during start-up of the PEM fuel cell. In state-of-the-art PEM fuel cells a small battery bank is usually incorporated in the fuel-cell system. 

It should be noted that the techno-economic analysis performed with HOMER software showed that the wind turbines installed on this island have been overdimensioned and this is the reason for the relatively high annualised cost attributed to wind energy for this system. On the other hand, this is a feature of Fair Isle s power system that most probably makes the introduction of hydrogen energy technologies economically viable. 

The sixth and final step of the whole process should always be the evaluation and interpretation of the analysis results. Undoubtedly, the first priority for a power system designer is to have a power system that is always able to serve power demand, but the overall system cost should be also taken into account. Sometimes the system designer might choose to have a small amount of annual capacity shortage (less than 1%) if the system needs to be overdimensioned in order to serve such a small amount of energy, which will reflect a significant increase in total power system cost. 

The first basic conclusion drawn from the analysis of all case studies was that in order to introduce hydrogen energy technologies in autonomous power systems a renewable energy source should be incorporated. Moreover, in order to be able to cover power demand and use excess electricity to produce hydrogen, the renewable energy source should always be overdimensioned. 

The boiler is composed of a bundle of vertical pipes, generally 2 m high and with an internal diameter of 2 cm. The heating vapor condenses on the outside of the pipes, and it is in those tubes that the boiling takes place. From the very start of the operation, the device must be overdimensioned. If the lower part of the tubes is flooded with the condensate of the heating vapor, the boiler, whilst it may be oversized, will deliver the correct amount of thermal power. We merely need to gradually lower the level of condensate to increase the device s power. Naturally, if the heating system is electrical, we simply need to set the position of a rheostat to obtain the desired power.
