Decision making to improve energy sustainability requires scientifically information based on sustainability. Since there are different sustainability targets and specific decision problems in this regard, hence to achieve these targets or solve these problems, relevant sustainability indicators...

Electric Vehicles (EVs) have seen significant growth in sales recently and it is not clear how power systems will support the charging of a great number of vehicles. This paper proposes a methodology which allows the aggregated EV charging demand to be determined. The methodology applied to...

This paper deals with the power generation efficiency analysis of a proposed offshore wind farm topology, consisting of a SLPC (single large power converter) that simultaneously controls a group of generators. This common converter can operate at a VF (variable frequency) or at a CF (constant...

This paper deals with the analysis of power, generated by offshore wind farms, connected to a single large power converter (SLPC), operating at variable frequency (VF) or at constant frequency (CF). The results are compared with a scheme widely used in current onshore wind farms, consisting of...

For the last years, PV (photovoltaic) generation has been having an important impact on LV (low voltage) and MV (medium voltage) grids in Spain, due to the increasing number of installations. As power monitoring of the generation is in most cases not required, utilities are forced to make...

The aim of this paper is to analyse, from the technical and economic point of view, the suitability of a proposed Offshore Wind Power Plant (OWPP) scheme based on removing the individual power converters of each wind turbine and connecting a turbine cluster (or an entire WPP) to a single large...

The paper deals with the evaluation of power generated by variable and constant frequency offshore wind farms connected to a single large power converter. A methodology to analyze different wind speed scenarios and system electrical frequencies is presented and applied to a case study, where it...

This paper presents a methodology for the assessment of the impact of existing high voltage lines in urban areas. This methodology is based on the numeric evaluation of several impacts which are combined with weight factors. The novelty is that it opens up the possibility of citizen...

Active power reserves are needed for the proper operation of an electrical system. These reserves are continuously regulated in order to match the generation and consumption in the system and thus, to maintain a constant electrical frequency. They are usually provided by synchronized...
