This work presents a simulation approach to the design and economic evaluation of fuel oil hydrotreating processes for the control of SO2 and NOx emission in an Iranian steam power plant. The percent of fuel oil desulphurization was estimated from the SO2 emissions standards for power plants. Based on two different scenarios according to (I) European and (II) Iranian standards, the design and s...

This study analyses and presents a new ramp-rate control algorithm for smoothing PV power fluctuations, designed to address three fundamental objectives: reduce battery cycling, meet minimum storage requirements be able operate, without violations, with real publicly-available forecasting. The was compared benchmark methods and, as performance limit, also hypothetical perfect prediction. Differ...

An innovative concept called “Flexy developing at 2iE. This concept aims to produce electricity cost by smartly mix different available energy to the load profile of the region. With a higher solar irradiation and due to the fact that Diesel generator are massively used in sub Saharan rural areas, PV/Diesel hybrid syste application of this concept and a good solution to electrify this region, p...

A low-carbon energy transition on the basis of renewable energy sources (RES) is of crucial importance to solve the interlinked global challenges of climate change and energy security. However, large-scale deployment of RES requires substantial investments, including the participation of private capital. Scientific evidence shows that the economic feasibility of a RES project hinges on the avai...

Green hydrogen development is still at a niche stage and faces several technical & commercial barriers. Among them the high LCOH (Levelized Cost of Hydrogen) green hydrogen, predominantly due to cost renewable electricity. In recent years, research studies have focused on finding most cost-effective electricity option feed electrolyzers for producing hydrogen. However, their findings su...

This paper describes and validates the HydroCalculator Tool developed by Conservation Strategy Fund. The HydroCalculator Tool allows researchers, policy-makers and citizens to easily assess hydropower feasibility, by calculating traditional financial indicators, such as the levelized cost of energy, as well as greenhouse gas emissions and the economic net present value including emissions costs...
