A study on the rotary steam engine for distributed generation in small size power plants
Antonelli, Marco; Martorano, Luigi - In: Applied Energy 97 (2012) C, pp. 642-647
The widespread use of the renewable energies requires compulsorily the development of new technological solutions for the efficient employment of these resources, such as small size, cogenerative power plants.

Demand side management of a domestic dishwasher: Wind energy gains, financial savings and peak-time load reduction
Finn, P.; O’Connell, M.; Fitzpatrick, C. - In: Applied Energy 101 (2013) C, pp. 678-685
Ireland is currently striving to achieve an ambitious target of supplying 40% of electricity demand with renewable energy by 2020. With the vast majority of this being met by wind energy, an intermittent and non-dispatchable energy source, it is inevitable that frequent substantial curtailment...

Demand side management of industrial electricity consumption: Promoting the use of renewable energy through real-time pricing
Finn, Paddy; Fitzpatrick, Colin - In: Applied Energy 113 (2014) C, pp. 11-21
As the installed capacity of wind generation in Ireland continues to increase towards an overall goal of 40% of electricity from renewable sources by 2020, it is inevitable that the frequency of wind curtailment occurrences will increase. Using this otherwise discarded energy by strategically...

The carbon payback of micro-generation: An integrated hybrid input–output approach
Bush, Ruth; Jacques, David A.; Scott, Kate; Barrett, John - In: Applied Energy 119 (2014) C, pp. 85-98
Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs) in the UK have been introduced to stimulate growth in small-scale renewables such as photovoltaics and micro-wind. They form one of the UK’s key policies to decarbonise electricity by 2030. However, the evidence used to inform the policy was predominantly related to...

Wind energy harvesting from transport systems: A resource estimation assessment
Morbiato, T.; Borri, C.; Vitaliani, R. - In: Applied Energy 133 (2014) C, pp. 152-168
Many recent patents worldwide address the concept of harvesting wind energy from aerodynamic losses in motorways, however the mechanics of a specific device dedicated to the task has never been described. The lack of a characterization of the energy resource likely explains why the international...

Behavior of the aggregate wind resource in the ISO regions in the United States
Gunturu, Udaya Bhaskar; Schlosser, C. Adam - In: Applied Energy 144 (2015) C, pp. 175-181
The collective behavior of wind farms in seven Independent System Operator (ISO) areas has been studied. The generation duration curves for each ISO show that there is no aggregated power for some fraction of time. Aggregation of wind turbines mitigates intermittency to some extent, but in each...

Lagrangian dynamic large-eddy simulation of wind turbine near wakes combined with an actuator line method
Zhong, Hongmin; Du, Pingan; Tang, Fangning; Wang, Li - In: Applied Energy 144 (2015) C, pp. 224-233
Wind turbine wakes have significant effects on the production efficiency and fatigue loads, and these effects should be considered in the optimization of wind turbine structure and wind farm layouts. In this paper, a numerical model combining Lagrangian dynamic large-eddy models and actuator...
