The sustainable energy transition taking place in the 21st century requires a major revamping of the energy sector. Improvements are required not only in terms of the resources and technologies used for power generation but also in the transmission and distribution system. Distributed generation...

While Afghanistan's power sector is almost completely dependent on fossil fuels, it still cannot meet the rising power demand of this country. Deploying a combination of renewable energy systems with hydrogen production as the excess energy storage mechanism could be a sustainable long-term...

Since 2016, Taiwan has pursued an agenda of energy transition and a nuclear-free homeland by 2025, with an increase in renewable energy from 5% in 2016 to 20% in 2025. Furthermore, Taiwan has significantly accelerated its offshore wind power (WP) targets since (i.e., 5.7 GW by 2025) from two...

For future low-carbon energy systems with high shares of renewable energy, temporal representation becomes the dominant factor that impacts the model outputs and analysis conclusions; therefore, relevant and complex modelling approaches are required. We present and apply specific methodology for...

A weather-driven model is used to investigate the requirements for the backup generation (annual energy, power capacity and flexibility) in a power system with different penetrations of wind, solar photovoltaics, and hydroelectricity. The impact of interannual variability is assessed by using 26...

The focus of this study was to learn from the operational variabilities in offshore wind projects by investigating the overall delays in offshore wind projects related to arrival time (flow) or job time (process-time) variability. This research was motivated by the general understanding that...

The combined scheduling of hydro, thermal and hybrid energy (i.e., wind and solar) is attracting more and more attention nowadays. This paper explores the contribution of renewable energy sources in the traditional hydrothermal scheduling problem in order to overcome the prevailing issues like...
