Energy arbitrage has the potential to make electric grids more efficient and reliable. Batteries hold great promise for energy storage in arbitrage but can degrade rapidly with use. In this paper, we analyze the impact of storage degradation on the structure of optimal policies in energy arbitrage. We derive properties of the battery degradation response that are sufficient for the existence of...

The integration of renewable energy sources in grid systems has a significant impact on the stability of electric power distribution. High variable energies such as wind power have a lack of stability and, to avoid short-term variations in power supplied to the grid, a local storage subsystem can be used to provide higher quality in the fed energy. This paper contains a mathematical model and a...

In electric arc furnace steelmaking units, the essential parameters are reducing price, increasing production and decreasing environmental pollution. Electric arc furnaces are the largest users of electric energy in industry. The most important techniques that can be used to reduce the electric energy consumption in electric arc furnaces are scrap preheating, stirring, use of burners and hot ch...

Electric motors have achieved very high efficiency and reliability; and in some cases, very high specific power. As the energy storage capabilities of batteries and fuel cells advance, these technologies are increasingly being considered for aircraft primary propulsion. In order to design electric aircraft, aircraft designers must be able to understand and model the performance characteristics ...

Increasing electric vehicles usage, as a promising solution for environmental issues, might have unexpected implications, since it entails some changes in different sectors and scales in energy system. In this respect, this research aims at investigating the long-term impacts of electric vehicles deployment on Iran's energy system. Accordingly, Iran's energy system was analyzed by LEAP model in...

India’s national missions to advance demand-side management and DERs such as, the Enhanced Energy Efficiency, Smart Grid, Wind and Solar Energy, Electric Mobility, etc., provide a pathway for sustainable developments. With these national missions, India is relying on large targets of 175 GW of renewable energy generation by 2022, which comprises of 100 GW Solar, 60 GW Wind, 10 GW Biomass, and 5...

1 Advances in electricity generation and storage technologies coupled with declines in cost, the planned roll-out of smart metering and favourable regulation have all led to a rapid increase in the number of consumers in Europe and the USA producing or storing electricity at home — through solar panels1, electric vehicles2, batteries3 or other means. In the UK, for instance, by the end of Decem...

The shipping industry is going through a period of technology transition that aims to increase the use carbon-neutral fuels. There significant trend vessels being ordered with alternative fuel propulsion. Shipping’s future market will be more diverse, reliant on multiple energy sources. One very promising means meet decarbonisation requirements operate ships sustainable electrical by integratin...
