A smart cyto-compatible asymmetric polypyrrole membrane for salinity power generation

Modification of Polymeric Membrane for Energy Generation through Salinity Gradient: A Short Review

Salinity gradient energy (SGE) refers to the energy created from the difference in salt concentration between two streams. There are three types of SGE namely, pressure retarded osmosis (PRO), reverse electrodialysis (RED), and capacitive mixing (CapMix). All these technologies require membrane for the system to be operational. In this short review, the membranes modifications for each principl...

A Stochastic Operational Planning Model for Smart Power Systems

Smart Grids are result of utilizing novel technologies such as distributed energy resources, and communication technologies in power system to compensate some of its defects. Various power resources provide some benefits for operation domain however, power system operator should use a powerful methodology to manage them. Renewable resources and load add uncertainty to the problem. So, independe...

Reverse Electrodialysis for Salinity Gradient Power Generation: Challenges and Future Perspectives

Salinity gradient energy, which is also known as Blue energy, is a renewable energy form that can be extracted from the mixing of two solutions with different salinities. About 80% of the current global electricity demand could potentially be covered by this energy source. Among several energy extraction technologie...

Smart Dispatch of Generation Resources for Restructured Electric Power Systems

-This paper addresses the vision of a new generation dispatch system for restructured power systems. As distributed generation, demand response and renewable energy resources become significant portions of overall system installed capacity, a better system dispatch tool for system control centers is required in order to cope with the increasing amount of uncertainties being introduced by the ne...
