The further penetration of renewable sources in the grid requires the implementation of energy storages in order to smooth out the variability and intermittent nature of renewables. This paper looks at the possibilities for a storage solution to meet an unprecedented situation of having no power input from renewables or an outage from grid sources for five consecutive days in the highest demand period...
The ability to assess an area for the potential of different renewable energies is governed by a wide range of technical, topographic and environmental variables. This paper discusses modelling these differing constraints for renewable energy potential and then to visualise results on an interactive map. A layered GIS is used with the UK as a location test area. The results compared different renewable...
The paper discusses the modelling and development of an energy management system applied for a domestic building. The model has been created to determine energy requirements and takes into account the building fabric and associated energy losses. A number of scenarios were investigated using the model to demonstrate the energy and cost savings. The energy control system is developed to ensure that...
This paper investigates the future of Vehicle-to-Grid technologies to be used in the UK in 2030 using the method of cross impact analysis. The paper describes the procedure of the cross impact matrix generation conducted to produce a multiplicity of scenarios of Vehicle-to-Grid futures. Three consistent scenarios (fossil, average and green) have been chosen for further development, interpretation...
The paper discuses the activities and plans of both the United Kingdom and European Union in the area of development of the future electrical grid. It is investigated how environmental issues and political measures, especially in the energy sector, are linked together and how a future grid in 2050 will potentially look. The grid 2050 is analysed with regard to their emissions, energy demand and energy...
An expected transition in the UK energy sector implies that future volatile renewable energy sources will be developed to a greater extent. This creates new challenges for the electricity system to provide a balance between fluctuating generation and varying consumption. The present paper analyses various types of electricity storage available to meet a future energy scenario. Possible applications...
