The COVID-19 pandemic brought tremendous pressure to the African continent's health sector, particularly in rural areas. Rural healthcare facilities experienced severe energy shortages due to the influx of Covid-19 patients, which strained their operating capacities. These facilities usually...

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...

This paper presents PyPSA-GB, a dataset and model of Great Britain’s (GB) power system encompassing historical years and the future energy scenarios developed by National Grid. It is the first fully open-source model implementation of the future GB power system with high spatial and temporal...

The state of the Ghana Power System reflects a story of progress, challenges, and future potential. Ghana has experienced significant milestones and achievements in its power system, including the development of major infrastructure projects such as the Akosombo Dam and initiatives to expand...

The study aims to assess the alternatives to the diversification of energy carriers in the ASEAN member countries in the context of minimizing the risks associated with the creation of an energy portfolio. The indicator of the diversification of the energy carriers of the country based on the...

To mitigate the impacts of the energy crisis, the European Union has proposed various measures. For the electricity sector a directive prescribes a shift of 5% of the demand in 10% of the peak hours, plus a voluntary 10% overall demand reduction. Here a power system model is used to quantify the...

This study identifies limitations and research and development (R&D) gaps at both the component and system levels for hydrogen energy systems (HESs) and specifies how these limitations impact HES adoption within the electric power system (EPS) decarbonization roadmap. To trace these limitations...

The European countries are highly dependent on energy imports, making them vulnerable to international geopolitical threats. In this context, improving energy efficiency emerges as a cost-effective solution. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of geopolitical risk...

The concept of smart grid (SG) was made real to give the power grid the functions and features it needs to make a smooth transition towards renewable energy integration and sustainability. This was done by automating and digitizing the grid to give it the right amount of flexibility and...

As Bangladesh's economy expands, the country has experienced severe power crises over the decades. With the Government's effective implementation of policies, the country has shown remarkable progress in energy sector recently. Even though various initiatives have been undertaken to improve...
