Most publicly available wind data are aggregated to a temporal resolution of 30 or 60 min. This is adequate for some purposes, such as large-scale wind integration studies. However, the consequent loss of high-frequency power fluctuations from the data can significantly impact analysis on local...

Die Ampel-Koalition hatte sich vorgenommen, die Energiewende deutlich zu beschleunigen. Auf Basis der Daten des Ampel-Monitors Energiewende des DIW Berlin werden in diesem Bericht die Entwicklungen wichtiger Schlüsseltechnologien analysiert und eine Bilanz der Energiewendepolitik gezogen. Die...

Energy system modeling supports the identification of the optimal technology mix to achieve decarbonization targets across multiple sectors. Especially when sector coupling is considered for future technology landscapes, the large solution space leads to a complex optimization problem in terms...

Although electricity supply is still dominated by fossil fuels, it is expected that renewable sources will have a much larger contribution in the future due to the need to mitigate climate change. Therefore, this paper presents a new framework for developing Future Electricity Scenarios...

Many countries including Nepal utilize qualitative parameters and/or judgment in order to appraise stand-alone off-grid project sites. This paper reviews on-going efforts for electrification in rural Nepal, and quantitative parameters available to support this planning process of remote...

In this paper linear programming optimisation procedure based on energy flow optimisation model (EFOM) is proposed for evaluating the contribution of distributed-generation (DG) production and energy-efficiency actions. The proposed methodology details exploitation of primary energy sources,...

During the last few decades, energy planning has focused on meeting domestic demand at lower total costs. However, global warming and the shared recognition of it have transformed the problem of energy planning into a more complex task with a greater number of issues to be considered. Since the...

The high cost of energy in Jamaica, one of the highest in the Caribbean region, is usually cited as a hindrance to industrial development and efficiency, especially in the manufacturing sector. High energy cost is also considered to be a national energy security issue and the government is...
