Microturbines (MGTs) are power generation devices showing very interesting performance in terms of low environmental impact, high-grade waste heat and very low maintenance cost. One of the main issues that affect the output of MGTs is their strong sensibility to inlet air temperature. Both in...

The paper presents two low-cost photovoltaic utilization schemes (1–50 kW) for ventilation and air conditioning loads. Both schemes can be controlled by novel dynamic on-line power tracking regulator. This ensures maximum power utilization and energy efficiency under varying conditions of...
