Geothermal energy has a significant role to play in the global transition to renewable and low-carbon energy systems because of its ability to supply steady and flexible electricity particularly for baseload demand because of its cost competitiveness compared to fossil fuel energy options....

The Cameroon electricity sector is currently plagued by inadequate generation capacity. The electricity supply deficit has had dire consequences on attaining the country's industrialization, socioeconomic and developmental objectives enshrined in her Vision 2035. However, there are sustainable...

The use of distributed energy resources (DER) programs, which include separate renewable energy (RE) programs, has expanded in residential as well as commercial structures as an outcome of recent technological developments. The virtual power plant (VPP) may improve the security and reliability...

China's overseas energy projects have expanded significantly in the last decade. While there is considerable literature on energy-related construction contracts and ownership of power generation projects, China's power grid investments have been underexamined. Power grid investments can arguably...

The linking of different jurisdictions or markets via electrical interconnection is a long established means of offering enhanced security of supply to the wider electrical system. In recent years, new incentives around exploiting market price differentials and facilitating the growth of...

Through the long-distance transmission of electric energy, global interconnected power grids have become promising for the decarbonization of the power systems nowadays. However, the implementation of an extremely large-scale system may be controversial because practical examples are rare. In...

This paper presents ODIN, an open dispatch model for the Nordic power system. We begin by performing a survey of existing models, and conclude that no model which simulates the different price areas in the Nordic power system and is truly open exists. Existing models either lack data to do an...

This paper presents a multi-objective mathematical model to perform power restoration. It considers simultaneously the objective functions: restoration time, load shedding, and cost. New formulations are developed to improve the maneuverability of the system elements. This distinguishes the...

Finding the generation mix with the lowest total system cost for deep levels of decarbonisation is critical for electricity consumers and taxpayers, who together need to cover the costs of the entire electricity system. MEGS is an electricity system scenario tool designed to explore options to...

Most studies that examine -neutral, or near -neutral, power systems by using energy system models investigate Europe or the United States, while similar studies for other regions are rare. In this paper, we focus on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), where weather conditions, especially...
