Economic, Social and Environmental Assessment of Electricity Generation from Renewable and Gas Technologies
Growing demand for electricity and the reduction of fossil fuels have made it essential to consider alternative and renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, to generate electricity. In this paper, by computing levelized output energy cost and levelized cost of electricity, the prices of electricity generated from the different combined cycle, wind, and photovoltaic power plants are com...
متن کاملEconomic assessment of renewable power generation based on wind speed and solar radiation in urban regions
Economic evaluation of 12 MW grid-connected wind farms and PV power plants in two regions in Northern Cyprus for electricity generation was investigated. The wind speed, sunshine duration, and solar global radiation characteristics were analyzed using monthly data collected over 17 years (2000-2016) for Girne and nine years (2008-2016) for Lefkoşa, which were measured at various heights. The re...
متن کاملCurtailment: an option for cost-efficient integration of variable renewable generation?
According to the European Directive 2009/28/EC 1 , renewable energy systems (RES) enjoy preferential treatment in the electricity grid in so far as the secure operation of the power system permits. However, there will be times when it is not possible to accommodate all priority dispatch generation such as variable renewable generation (VRG) sources like wind and solar while maintaining the safe...

متن کاملOptimal Curtailment of Non-Synchronous Renewable Generation on the Island of Tenerife Considering Steady State and Transient Stability Constraints
The increasing penetration of non-synchronous, renewable energy in modern power systems displaces synchronous generation and affects transient stability. This is just one of the factors that has led to preventive curtailment of renewable energy sources in an increasing number of electrical grids. Transient stability constrained optimal power flow (OPF) techniques provide a tool to optimize the ...
