Optimising renewable energy integration in new housing developments with low carbon technologies

Facilitating the Development and Integration of Low-Carbon Energy Technologies

Climate change mitigation will require extensive decarbonization of the electricity sector. This thesis addresses both large-scale wind integration (Papers 1–3) and development of new energy technologies (Paper 4) in service of this goal. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) could be paired with a wind farm to provide firm, dispatchable baseload power, or serve as a peaking plant and capture up...

Using Dynamic Thermal Rating and Energy Storage Systems Technologies Simultaneously for Optimal Integration and Utilization of Renewable Energy Sources

Nowadays, optimal integration and utilization of renewable energy sources (RES) are of the most challenging issues in power systems. The wind and solar generation units' maximum production may or may not occur at peak consumption times resulting in non-optimal utilization of these resources. As a solution to this problem, energy storage systems (ESS) are embedded in networks. However, the power...

New Developments in Cotton Technologies

Several new developments are likely to occur in the cotton industry during the next decade. Obviously, the impacts of emerging technologies will vary among different regions of the world. However, any new development will likely impact most other cotton-growing areas. To gain a broader perspective, I have consulted experts in various disciplines for assistance. I will summarize my perspectives ...
