The European Energy Policy aims at achieving three core objectives: sustainability, competitiveness and security of supply. The achievement of these objectives requires a profound transformation of the energy system that will imply a huge and coordinated effort across several areas. This effort must rely on a sound analys is of different policy approaches, regulatory measures and technological ...

Energy Framework is an extensible OMNeT++ framework for modeling battery consumption in wireless networks. It is designed so there is a clear separation between modeling of battery state and energy consuming operations, enabling more sophisticated modeling of system behavior. The Energy Framework is largely implemented in “pure” OMNeT++; it has been successfully incorporated into the Mobility F...

Complex energy modeling is increasingly central to the development of electricity sector regulations, and perhaps increasingly necessary. But environmental agencies need to remain vigilant to avoid vulnerabilities created when models designed for broad energy system projections are repurposed for the design of detailed pollution control policies. All models are false, some are useful, and by im...

The main goal of this paper is to present a new day-ahead energy acquisition model for a distribution company (Disco) in a competitive electricity market environment with Interruptible Load (IL). The work formulates the Disco energy acquisition model as a bi-level optimization problem with some of real issues, and then studies and designs a Genetic Algorithm (GA) of this optimization problem to...

The first motive for the determination and evaluation of an energy productionsystem is the need to change. Such system is dynamic in nature and is influenced bymany factors such as age and physiological status of individual sheep or goat, quantityand quality of available feed and environment including the management systems.Traditional pastoral resource assessments do not always account for the...

In recent years, using new methods in utilization of energy resources has become necessary due to environmental pollution and restriction of energy resources. The hybrid system presented in this article produced power with SOFC and Stirling engine. The purpose is to analyze a 50 kW Solid Oxide Fuel Cell that could produce enough thermal energy for a 10 kW Stirling engine working in the hybrid s...

The complexity of energy systems operation and the necessity to design secure and reliable systems, compatible with greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation goals, have justified the development of energy models. They are capable of representing detailed energy systems (technical and economic characteristics) and the interconnections between supply and consumer sectors, assessing energy consumption and ...

The National Energy Modeling System (NEMS) developed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration is a well-recognized model that is used to project the potential impact of new electric generation technologies. The NEMS model does not presently have the capability to model energy storage on the national grid. The scope of this study was to assess the feasibility of, and ...
