The bulk electric power system in New England is fundamentally changing. The representation of nuclear, coal and oil generation facilities is set to dramatically fall, and natural gas, wind and solar facilities will come to fill their place. The introduction of variable energy resources (VERs)...

Biomass fuel properties determine the choice of agricultural waste to be used in production of briquette for industrial and domestic usage. Compaction of these agro-wastes would add more values to their bulk handling, conveyance and storage properties. This work determined the effect of...

This paper presents the impact assessment of distributed generations (DGs) (such as T2 and T4 i.e operating at different power factors such as 0.85, 0.90, 0.95 and 0.99 leading and lagging, respectively) and flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) controllers like SVC with...

This paper presents a Genetic Algorithms (GAs) for integration of various types of Distributed Generations (DGs), Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and Plug-in-Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEVs) with different static load models (DSLMs) such as LM-1, LM-2, LM-3, LM-4 and LM-5, respectively...

The electricity price arbitrage from the utility grid can be a major source of revenue for energy storage systems. In most countries, the electricity price is tightly regulated by their government statutory authority or energy regulator to which obey the different power utility and distribution...

This paper investigates operational modification of 250 MW Rajaee natural gas fired electrical power plant by supplying a portion of the required heat load from the solar energy source. The base case and the introduced hybrid system, both are simulated in Thermoflow and MATLAB softwares....

In this era, energy and environmental sustainability is a priority in most African countries developmental agenda. The need for energy equity and security in Rwanda is a priority and thus this paper illustrate the current peat resources and their energy potential which can be mined to meet...

Objective: The South African business environment is characterized by supply uncertainties, which have large economic implications on the country's capacity to achieve its industrial goals. South Africa's industrial decline and falling economic growth is directly associated with decreasing...

Rural electrification has been identified as one of the essential prerequisite for the development of modern society. Provision of uninterrupted supply for rural enterprises and affordable electricity for low-income users is imperative for the revitalisation of rural areas. Stand-alone...

In 1988, when the idea of economic liberalism was spreading across nations, the United Kingdom opened an electricity market. Soon, to increase the operational efficiency, other countries followed suit and gradually induced free competition to the electricity market. The reform aims to liberalize...
