Development of intermittent solar and wind energies and the demand peak increase has made energy storage very important in energy policy. Thus, energy storage will play a key role in enabling the world to develop a low-carbon electricity system. An interes ...
Wind is a variable and uncontrollable source of power with a low capacity factor. Using energy storage facilities with a non-firm connection strategy is the key to maximum integration of distant wind farms into a transmission-constrained power system. In t ...
We introduce a paradigm-"hydricity"-that involves the coproduction of hydrogen and electricity from solar thermal energy and their judicious use to enable a sustainable economy. We identify and implement synergistic integrations while improving each of the ...
A majority of remote power systems are going to be supplied by diesel-renewable resources such as wind and photovoltaic energy in the future. However, the unpredictable nature of wind generation increases the concern about the reliable operation of these i ...
The security of supply is becoming an important concern in the energy supply of the railway networks operated at 16.7âHz. This situation calls for the improvement of the interconnection with the 50âHz grid and creates a need for ancillary services, esp ...
In this project, we will study the energy storage with liquid methane linked to a CO2 network that provides heat for district heating. The generated methane enters an hybrid cycle composed of a solid oxide fuel cell and turbines to generate electricity. Th ...
The use of concrete geostructures for energy extraction and storage in the ground is an environmentally friendly and easy way of cooling and heating buildings. With such energy geostructures, it is possible to transfer energy from the ground to buildings b ...
The geological sequestration of CO2 in abandoned coal mines is a promising option to mitigate climate changes while providing sustainable use of the underground cavities. In order to certify the efficiency of the storage, it is essential to understand the ...
An energy economy based on renewable energy requires massive energy storage, approx. half of the annual energy consumption. Therefore, the production of a synthetic energy carrier, e.g. hydrogen, is necessary. The hydrogen cycle, i.e. production of hydroge ...
Utilizing renewable sources of energy is very attractive to provide the growing population on earth in the future but demands the development of efficient storage to mitigate their intermittent nature. Chemical storage, with energy stored in the bonds of c ...
