The majority penetration of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) will challenge the stability of electrical transmission grids due to unpredictable peaks and troughs of VRE generation. With renewable generation located further from high demand urban cores, there will be a need to develop new...

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...

Secure and reliable operation of power systems with high wind and solar shares requires system flexibility. In this paper, an hourly-based market and grid simulation model is developed to assess security and reliability of a power system with high wind and solar energy share. The model is...

The contribution of fluctuating wind and solar energy sources to the German electrical energy demand has increased from 12% up to 40% within the last 10 years and leads to higher infrastructure requirements due to the different spatiotemporal characteristics of wind and solar energy generation....
