The goal of this paper is to measure the financial performance of 21 primary Clean Techs (CT) equity indexes, covering the primary energy markets worldwide. We use a modified state-space market model to recursively estimate the risk/return performance of each index, and two market benchmarks are...

In this paper, an equivalent electrical circuit of the pneumatics and fluidics in a fuel cell stack is developed. This model combines the simplicity of an electrical circuit and attempts to model the physical phenomenon occurring inside the fuel cell. The effect of variation in temperature and...

This paper presents a methodology for modeling and calculating PEM FCPP reliability. It includes the development of a state-space method to calculate the stand-alone PEM FCPP reliability using Markov Model (MM). The state-space method includes different states such as operation, derated, fully...

This paper presents a performance evaluation of three-phase, three-switch, three-level, fixed-frequency pulse-width-modulated (PWM) rectifier, when an inductive connection is added between the DC-side capacitive mid-point and the AC-side source neutral. A new continuous-mode model that takes...
