Storage of electrical energy is a key technology for future climate-neutral supply with volatile photovoltaic and wind generation. Besides the well-known technologies pumped hydro, power-to-gas-to-power batteries, contribution thermal storage rather unknown. At end 2019 worldwide power generation capacity from molten salt in concentrating solar (CSP) plants was 21 GWhel. This article gives an o...

To restore a transmission network after blackout without predetermined voltage by neighbouring transmission systems, the restoration has to proceed from power-station units within the own network area. In small separate networks connecting electrical equipment and consumers can result in unstable operating conditions. Possibly tripped protective measures can cause the breakdown of the restored ...

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...

Pumped-storage plants are the most significant electrical storage component in new power systems and show great potential for scaling up. In this paper, economic costs benefits have been investigated. Both can be divided into transmission distribution tariffs; however, various factors need to considered reduce tariffs. The cost characterization methodology pumped-storage has developed. A mathem...

A comparison of two closely located reservoirs on the Southern Bug River and its tributary in southern region Ukraine is carried out. One them (Tashlyk reservoir a small river, River) cooling (pond) for nuclear power plant, other (Alexandrovskoye reservoir, used agricultural purposes, production electricity at hydroelectric as lower pumped storage plant. Comparison main indicators phytoplankton...
