As decided by the European Parliament in April 2009, starting from 2019, new buildings must be so-called net-zero energy buildings. The capital cost of these building systems and thus the potential for optimization will increase significantly. In addition, ...
The electrochemical behavior of a promising hydrogen/bromine redox flow battery is investigated for grid-scale energy-storage application with some of the best redox-flow-battery performance results to date, including a peak power of 1.4 W/cm(2) and a 91% ...
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are expected to contribute significantly to the reduction of CO2 emissions and other types of pollution within the next years. However, the concept of their ultra fast charging still poses demanding requirements, both in terms of th ...
The interest in energy storage is currently increasing, especially from the perspectives of matching intermittent sources of renewable energy with customer demand and storing excess nuclear or thermal power during the daily cycle. Technologies to be consid ...
Energy storage systems are increasingly gaining importance with regard to their role in achieving load levelling, especially for matching intermittent sources of renewable energy with customer demand, as well as for storing excess nuclear or thermal power ...
Large scale energy storage may play an increasingly important role in the power generation and distribution sector, especially when large shares of renewable energies will have to be integrated into the electrical grid. Pumped-hydro is the only large scale ...
Peak load levelling through peak shaving and valley filling is need of the hour in the electricity grid network. A reserve plant or a large scale electric energy storage plant could be the way out to handle the variable load situations. Though the re- serve ...
The paper presents a microcontroller-based power management system (PMS) designed for the online operation of an experimental low voltage microgrid equipped with a battery storage system and two power supplies: a kilowatt (kW)-class proton exchange membran ...
The increase in penetration of wind in the current energy mix is hindered by its high volatility and poor predictability. These shortcomings lead to energy loss and increased deployment of fast ramping generation. The use of energy storage compensates to s ...
Due to the energy demand growth and distributed generation (DG) units penetration, a substantial increase of the rated short-circuit current of the electrical lines is expected. As a consequence, the electrical grid infrastructure needs to be extended or d ...
