Assessment of the Electrification of the Road Transport Sector on Net System Emissions
As worldwide environmental consciousness grows, electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more common and despite the incredible potential for emissions reduction, the net emissions of the power system supply side plus the transportation system are dependent on the generation matrix. Current EV charging patterns tend to correspond ...
The Electrical Properties of Interfacial Water and Their Applications
The electrical properties of interfacial water [1] were explored to determine their capacity to deliver energy for practical applications. Interfacial water was created in the standard way, next to a sheet of hydrophilic membrane placed in a water-filled chamber. All measurements were done under room temperature and standard ...
Capacity Fade Modeling for Convex Optimization of Battery Charge/Discharge Schedules
The use of electrochemical batteries to provide multiple system services can greatly increase the profit they are able to generate, which can help to offset their initial investment cost. By using battery scheduling optimizations, the optimal charge/discharge profile can be found for providing multiple services. However, the ...
Operations and Planning in Sustainable Power Systems
Renewable generation, e.g., wind power and photovoltaic resources, and non-traditional energy providers, e.g, flexible loads and energy storage, have demonstrated their potential to eliminate or, at least, to alleviate dependency on costly and depletable energy resources, as well as to reduce gas emissions, thus fostering ...
Optimal Scheduling of a Natural Gas Processing Facility with Real-time Price Demand Response
Demand Response (DR) has been a hot topic since the introduction of the smart grid concept. The USA, Canada, and some European countries are researching the benefits of DR programs and their integration methodology into the electricity market. In the Gulf Region, smart grid received more attention, especially in the area of ...
Energy Storage Operation with Wind Uncertainty
With environmentally oriented energy policies, wind power penetration sharply increases in the recent years. Although operating cost is low, wind power's intrinsic uncertainty and variability have brought another layer of operating challenges for the power system operators and system participants. Since traditional operation ...
Mitigating Short-Term Variations of Photovoltaic Generation Using Energy Storage with VOLTTRON
A smart-building communications system performs smoothing on photovoltaic (PV) power generation using a battery energy storage system (BESS). The system runs using VOLTTRON™, a multi-agent python-based software platform dedicated to power systems. The VOLTTRON™ system designed for this project runs synergistically with the ...
Economic Operation of Supercritical CO2 Refrigeration Energy Storage Technology
With increasing penetration of intermittent renewable energy resources, improved methods of energy storage are becoming a crucial stepping stone in the path toward a smarter, greener grid. SuperCritical Technologies is a company based in Bremerton, WA that is developing a storage technology that can operate entirely on waste ...
Predicting Energy Consumption for Potential Effective Use in Hybrid Vehicle Powertrain Management Using Driver Prediction
A proof-of-concept software-in-the-loop study is performed to assess the accuracy of predicted net and charge-gaining energy consumption for potential effective use in optimizing powertrain management of hybrid vehicles. With promising results of improving fuel efficiency of a thermostatic control strategy for a series, ...
The Design of Carbon Taxes in Electric Power Systems and the Effects on Market Participation
The escalating evidence of climate change caused by the release of anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere is prompting many nations to act swiftly. Imposing carbon taxes to mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the electricity sector is amongst the commonly used methods to counteract the detrimental ...
