The Iron and Steel Industry is one of the most carbon-intensive in the European Union, and to meet the climate agreement objectives for 2050, it must dramatically reduce its environmental footprint. The present study analyzes the potential for CO2 emission ...
Building sector decarbonisation involves large scale integration of renewable energy sources within the energy mix commonly used to fulfil the heat demand. For this, to combine several energy sources and to control conversion systems based on a systemic ap ...

To meet the net-zero emission target by 2050, Switzerland must install between 34 and 50 GW of distributed photovoltaic (PV). The inherent challenge with such an extensive integration of stochastic generation is to provide the flexibility for balancing sup ...
Ammonia represents one of the most promising potential solutions as energy vector and hydrogen carrier, having a higher potential to transport energy than hydrogen itself in a pressurized form. Furthermore, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can directly be fe ...
Hybrid modular multilevel converter control and design for pumped hydro storage plants is presented, addressing application-specific shortcoming of conventional back-to-back half-bridge modular multilevel converter: high common-mode-voltage machine stress. ...
Having sufficient grid-forming sources is one of the necessary conditions to guarantee the stability in a power system hosting a very large share of inverter-based generation. The grid-forming function has been historically fulfilled by synchronous machine ...
The energy industry is going through challenging times of disruptive changes caused by decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization. As the energy value chain is restructuring itself to accommodate the growing penetration of renewables, increasing ...
The expected increase of the penetration of distributed renewable energy technologies into the electricity grid is expected to lead to major challenges. As a main stakeholder, authorities often lack the appropriate tools to frame and encourage the transiti ...
Profound changes driven by decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization are disrupting the energy industry, bringing new challenges to its key stakeholders. In the attempt to address the climate change issue, increasing penetration of renewables a ...
Frequency response and voltage support are vital ancillary services for power grids. In this paper, we design and experimentally validate a real-time control framework for battery energy storage systems (BESSs) to provide ancillary services to power grids. ...
