The prevailing business, policy, and regulatory environment for electric utilities has evolved over the last century in response to certain broadly accepted attributes of the electric system?that steady growth in electric consumption and economies of scale necessitate investment in large, central, long-lived generating assets that deliver electricity, as a commodity, to consumers through a unidirectional...
Citizen Energy is a novel, participatory citizen engagement with energy that is designed to extend our relationship with energy beyond existing producer-consumer models towards ones that are more participatory, intimate, personal, social, and emotional. In this paper we directly introduce and operationalize novel strategies for collecting, keeping, sharing, and activating personal, interactive micro-energy...
The renewable energy source has become the important composition of the energy strategy in the developed countries and it is also the important method for the lower carbon economics development in these counties. All these come from the specific characteristics of the renewable energy, such as the advantages of both environment and application. However, it is still the starting stage for the application...
In the past years due to extensive use of fuels, many problems have been raised for environment. It is very important to consider these problems in power expansion planning in a long term planning for power generation. In this paper a multi objective model for power expansion planning in a planning horizon is proposed. The proposed model studies a plan for a power expansion planning over a period...
This paper presents two alternative electric market structures that increase market efficiency and reduce the cost of implementing RPS mandates. A review of existing market operation and the structure of RPS mandates provides necessary context. One alternative market structure combines a parallel market for stochastic renewable energy with incremental power flow control based on emerging power electronic...
The U.S federal government's strategic vision encouraging renewable energy production has motivated several new energy generation projects. Among them are large-scale renewable energy farm building efforts, where one considers the renewable resource potential along with land, equipment, and installation costs. The goal in the planning phase of these efforts is to maximize the return on investment...
Thailand currently relies largely on natural gas, coal & lignite, fuel oil, and less portion in renewable energy for electricity production. Due to the cheap fuel costs, fossil fuels dominate in energy supply. However, utilization of more fossil fuels results in increasing CO2 emissions. The introduction of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) for the future thermal power plant in Thailand...
There is a growing consensus that the great risks arising from climate change require strong cuts of greenhouse gas emissions and that actions are urgently needed. The current economic crisis force policy makers to reconsider their policies and to introduce reforms that foster enhanced efficiency and more sustainable long term growth. Within this context, this paper assesses, by means of a scenario...
In this paper, a pilot area has been selected and the renewable energy potential for this region has been evaluated making energy cost analysis. The study evaluates the feasibility of utilizing solar and wind energy with hydrogen as storage to meet the electricity requirements of the pilot region in conjunction with the conventional grid based electricity. In order to simulate the operation of the...
