1. 31. Power Plant Operation Optimization Economic dispatch of combined cycle power plants

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Stefano Rosso; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : As electricity production from renewable sources increases, higher flexibility is required by fossil fuel generation to cope with the inherent fluctuations of solar and wind power. This results in shorter operating cycles and steeper ramps for the turbines, and more uncertainty for the operators. READ MORE

3. 32. Standardization in Sustainability Transitions : A Study on Stakeholder Attitudes and Power Relations During the Standardization Process in the Vehicle-to-Grid Ecosystem

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Julia Elf; Ludvig Svensson; [2019]
   Keywords : Sustainability transition; Electric vehicles; Vehicle-to-grid; Standardization; Power relations;

   Abstract : The electrification of the transportation sector plays an important role in the sustainability transition as successful electric vehicle (EV) integration allows for the reduction of CO2 emissions. Moreover, bidirectional capabilities of the EVs (vehicle-to-grid) further facilitate this transition by supporting the electricity grid while lowering the cost of ownership of EVs when revenues from grid-supporting services are split between stakeholders.

6. 35. Increasing Photovoltaic penetration rate on isolated grid using storage, overbuilding and curtailment: Case study of the Reunion Island

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Théo Chamarande; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In the global context of GHG emissions reduction, insular isolated grids which are the most vulnerable systems in terms of fossil fuel dependency have to conduct their energy transition. Conventional units using fossil fuels are well adapted to those systems because they are dispatchable, reliable and flexible, so they can easily respond to grid requirements. READ MORE
