A paradigm shift has to be realized in future energy systems with high shares of renewable energy sources. The electrical demand has to react to the fluctuating electricity generation of renewable energy sources. To this end, flexible electrical loads like electric heating devices coupled with...

Isolated grid diesel-based systems have been a basic electricity system in islands in developing countries. Nevertheless, the increasing diesel price and the higher cost of diesel transport to a long distance to the remote islands make the diesel-based systems unsustainable. This study analyzes...

We propose a stochastic model for the maximal production of photovoltaic (PV) power on a daily basis based on data from three transmission system operators in Germany. We apply the sun intensity as a seasonal function and model the deseasonalized data by an autoregressive process with skewed...
