1. 21. Analysis of Burkina Faso Electricity System

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

   Author : Robert Karisa Masumbuko; [2019]
   Keywords : Electricity; Burkina Faso; LEAP; renewable energy; vulnerability; climate change; Elektricitet; Burkina Faso; LEAP; förnybar energi; klimatförändringar;

   Abstract : Burkina Faso like many other Least Developed Countries (LDC) in their quest for sustainable development has realized that for there to be meaningful economic and social progress, prioritizing resilience to impacts of climate change is critical. In its National Adaptation Plan, a decrease in average rainfall is forecasted in the order of 150 mm by 2025, in comparison to an average annual value of 798mm for the period 1991 to 2016, and an increase in average temperatures between 1° C - 2.

3. 22. Optimal Operation of Battery Energy Storage Systems in Radial Distribution Networks

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

   Author : Aref Behnood; [2019]
   Keywords : Optimal Power Flow; Smart Grids; Battery Energy Storage Systems; Electricity Market; Renewable Energy Sources;

   Abstract : In recent years, power systems are facing with various challenges arising from the increased share of renewable energy systems. Among all sections of power systems, distribution grids are affected the most since the majority of renewable energy sources are connected to distribution grids. READ MORE

4. 23. Towards Flexible Power Generation Short-term Optimization of a Combined Cycle Power Plant Integrated with an Inlet Air Conditioning Unit

   University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

   Author : Weimar Mantilla Gutierrez; [2019]
   Keywords : Combined cycle gas turbine; Power augmentation; Flexibility; Inlet air conditioning; Thermal energy storage; Heat pump; Mixed-integer linear programming MILP; kombikraftverk; kraftförbättring; flexibilitet; inluftsbehandling; termisk energilagring; värmepump; linjär programmering; MILP;

   Abstract : Combined cycle gas turbine power plants (CCGT), as part of the electricity generation fleet, are required to improve their flexibility to help balance the power system under new scenarios with high shares of variable renewable sources. Among the different possibilities to enhance the power plant performance, an inlet air conditioning unit offers the benefit of power augmentation and “minimum environmental load” reduction by controlling the gas turbine intake temperature using cold thermal energy storage and a heat pump.

5. 24. On the renewable, non-renewable energy consumption and growth nexus in emerging economies: Empirical evidence from Turkey

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Author : Tugce Eruydas; [2019]
   Keywords : Renewable energy consumption; total energy use; fossil fuels; economic growth; cointegration; Granger causality; emerging economy; Turkey; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Since carbon-emitting energy sources are the largest contributor to global warming and climate change, this present paper attempts to contribute to the current debate in energy-growth nexus in the literature. Focusing on the case of Turkey, it seeks to find out whether or not switching to a low-carbon path will be beneficial for this fastest-growing OECD economy by investigating the relationship between energy sources (both renewable and non-renewable) and economic growth over the period of 1990-2015.

6. 25. Impact from flexible operation on High Head Francis turbines

   University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Avd.)

   Author : Andreas Skorpen; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Today the European energy grid contains more renewable energy sources than ever before, yet there is little to no research on how the increased amount affects the cost structure of the remaining energy sources of the grid. A consequence of phasing more renewable energy sources into the power grid, is a reduction of the overall balancing capacity of the grid. READ MORE
