This paper describes a current study to assess the feasibility of developing CAES storage caverns in salt beds in the north east of Ireland. Thin-bedded salt is regarded as inferior to domal or thick-layered (diapir) salt for cavern storage. However, given the relative scarcity of diapirs and increasing demand for underground gas storage (UGS) capacity, there has been a recent increase in the development...
The demand for energy in developing countries of the Caribbean region is increasing. Local environmental policy influence energy production and consumption, while the integration of renewable energy sources must reliably satisfy this increasing load demand economically. This paper uses auto-regressive modeling to assess the adequacy of potential sites for wind power generation. Monte Carlo Simulation...
Utilizing solar radiation data of 25 locations in Oman, RETScreen software is used to study the economic prospects of solar energy. A solar PV power plant of 5-MW is considered at each of the 25 locations. The results show that the renewable energy produced each year from the PV power plant varies between 9000 MWh at Marmul to 6200 MWh at Sur while the mean value is 7700 MWh of all the 25 locations...
Renewable energy sources and the economy of energy from classical sources are subjects of many research studies. The goal of this paper is to identify a topology of trigeneration (CCHP) system with a higher efficiency. For this purpose are compared two structures of CCHP systems, depending on the prime mover used: fuel cells or Stirling engine. The analysis are made on two integrated micro-scale combined...
Concern over global climate change has led policy makers to accept the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This in turn has led to a large growth in clean renewable generation for electricity production. Much emphasis has been on wind generation as it is among the most advanced forms of renewable generation, however, its variable and relatively unpredictable nature result in increased...
Hybrid energy systems (HES), which utilize different renewable resources such as wind, solar, biomass, small/micro hydro, with fossil fuel powered diesel/petrol generator to provide electric power, are well suited for remote rural areas. This paper presents a general methodological framework for the formulation of an action plan for the small-scale hybrid energy system for remote area. The action...
Increasing costs associated with fossil fuel generation coupled with the recognition and acceptance of the finiteness of this resource has, in part, contributed to the growing popularity of alternative energy generation. International environmental treaties have also forced many states, primarily developed states, to consciously review their use of fuels. This paper compares governmental policy and...
