1. 6. Impact of Time-of-Delivery Schemes on Optimum Solar Hybrid Power Plants- A Techno-Economic Study

   University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

   Author : Hansson Linus; [2016]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Analyses concerned with identifying optimal plant configurations of solar power plants can be expanded by implementing payment schemes where prices are unknown but daily occurring payment multipliers in the form of Time-of-Delivery (TOD) factors are known by enhancing the impact of financial conditions in optimal designs through the use of financial models. The hybridisation of solar technologies such as CSP with TES with photovoltaics (PV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) have also been shown to offer promising synergies in terms of economy and design.

5. 9. Hosting capacity for photovoltaics in Swedish distribution grids

   University essay from Fasta tillståndets fysik

   Author : Tobias Walla; [2012]
   Keywords : Photovoltaics; Solar Energy; Solar Power; Hosting Capacity; Grid Control; Grid Integration; Distribution Grids; High PV Penetration; Energy Systems; Stockholm; Sweden; Utilities; Voltage Fluctuation; Solar Inverters; Electricity; MATLAB; Newton-Raphson; Power Flow Models;

   Abstract : For planning issues, it is useful to know the upper limit for photovoltaics (PV) in the electrical grid with current design and operation (defined as hosting capacity) and how this limit can be increased. Future costs for grid reinforcement can be avoided if measures are taken to implement smart grid technology in the distribution grid. READ MORE
