Electricity generation by intermittent sources

Decarbonizing electricity generation with intermittent sources of energy

We examine public policies and technological solutions that aim to decarbonize electricity production by replacing fossil fuel energy by intermittent renewable sources, namely wind and solar power. We consider a model of investment and production with two sources of energy: one is clean but intermittent (wind or solar), whereas the other one is reliable but polluting (thermal power). Intermitte...

Electricity storage for intermittent renewable sources

With sufficient electricity storage capacity, any power production profile may be mapped onto any desired supply profile. We present a framework to determine the required storage power as a function of time for any power production profile, supply profile, and targeted system efficiency, given the loss characteristics of the storage system. We apply the framework to the electrochemical storage ...

Impacts of Intermittent Renewables on Electricity Generation System Operation

All power generation technologies leave their particular imprint on the power system that they belong to. Wind and solar power have only recently reached significant levels of penetration in some countries, but they are expected to grow much during the next few decades, and contribute substantially to meeting future electricity demand, see e.g. European Commission (2011). Wind, photovoltaic (PV...

Parameters Affecting Electricity Generation by a Photovoltaic Direct Current Micro-grid Connected to Electricity Network

Paying attention to the increasing concerns of global warming, environmental crisis and energy, International research and Development has extended to sustainable energy systems.In this research,Applied method for optimizing the installation space of photovoltaic system Due to the limited space in the buildings of the country's cities, As the effect of the shadow on the efficiency of the panel,...
