Energy storage is an important resource that can balance fluctuations in energy generation from renewable energy sources, such as wind, to increase their penetration. Many existing storage control methods require perfect information about probability distribution of uncertainties. In practice, however, the distribution of renewable energy production is difficult to reliably estimate. To resolve...

nowadays energy is one of the most essential needs of human being and it can be considered as the basic prerequisite of social and economic development.  hence, many of the correlations and legislations of a country are affected by it. since iran has huge source of gas and oil, it has turned to a fossil fuel oriented county. but as oil and gas sources are non-renewable ones and cannot be replac...

This paper proposes a dynamic economic model with physical capital and renewable resources. Different from most of the neoclassical growth models with renewable resources which are based on microeconomic foundation and neglect physical capital accumulation, this study proposes a growth model with dynamics of renewable resources and physical capital accumulation. The model is a synthesis of the ...

The increasing penetration of renewable generation increases the need for flexibility to accommodate for growing uncertainties. The level of flexibility is measured by the available power that can be provided by flexible resources, such as dispatachable generators, in a certain time period under the constraint of transmission capacity. In addition to conventional flexible resources, energy stor...

Renewable energy resources ranking, and power plant location selection are multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. These problems can be solved as two-phase tasks separately sequentially or, in a unified form, single-step task. In this paper, we studying the efficiency applicability of approach based on fuzzy Z-information, TOPSIS technique. Alternatives for generated renewables availab...
