Abstract The aim of this work is the implementation an optimization model for a hydrogen production facility connected to refuelling station heavy-duty vehicles, operating in field waste management and transportation. composed by two subsequent mixed integer linear programming problems. first problem addresses vehicle schedule second deals with plant design operation. outputs are operation para...

Concentrating PV thermal (CPVT) collector with spectral splitting technology is a promising solution for heat and electricity production. To extend the use of this technology, novel cost-effective CPVT harsh environments, such as those in Saudi Arabia, presented evaluated using theoretical energy, economy, environmental analysis. Two questions are answered study, namely: which best operation st...

As grid parity is reached in many countries, photovoltaic self-consumption raising great interest. Currently, there a big number of new projects being developed Spain thanks to the regulation. From experience monitoring one full year operation PV plant university building, regulatory, energy, and economic analysis made for this type building. It has been carried out by simulating behavior build...

Energy storage can store surplus electricity generation and provide power system flexibility. A Generation Integrated Storage (GIES) is a class of energy that stores at some point along with the transformation between primary form electricity. The investigation economic financial merits novel systems GIES relevant as these technologies are in their infancy, there multiple technological, economi...

despite the numerous advantages of large dams, there is still a deep suspicion about the real,long-term benefits and costs of their construction. land use change on a vast scale, displacement of a largepopulation of indigenous people, loss of biodiversity and production of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as environmental, socioeconomic and cultural consequences resulting therefrom, indicate c...

The purpose of this study is to comparatively evaluate four types of advanced conceptual power plants based on coal. With efficiency, costof-electricity, and emissions as main criteria, the evaluation was made under consistent design conditions and economic assumptions. The plants considered are a supercritical steam power plant (SC 580◦C), an indirectly coal-fired power system (HIPPS), an adva...

This study investigates the techno-economic feasibility of an off-grid integrated solar/wind/hydrokinetic plant to co-generate electricity and hydrogen for a remote micro-community. In addition viability assessment proposed system via HOMER (hybrid optimization multiple energy resources), sensitivity analysis is conducted ascertain impact ±10% fluctuations in wind speed, solar radiation, temper...

The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a techno-economic parameter used to evaluate the kilowatt-hour energy produced from selected power plant. initial investment, annual operation and maintenance costs together with production are some input data needed determine LCOE. most typical approach calculate LCOE does not account for interaction new plant existing system, assuming indirectly as ...

existed electricity grids deliver produced power to the consumer passing through transmission and distribution grids. according to high losses of these grids in transmission level and inexistence of bilateral interaction for simultaneous information exchange, a concept of smart grids were made by capabilities such as consciously participation of consumers in the smart electricity grids, an amou...

• Wind and solar generation devaluation occurs for grids with high renewable shares This effect, due to intermittency, dramatically reduces the value of generated energy Cost Valued Energy can be used account this intermittency penalty Minimizing COVE improve VRE system design better meet demand The inherent wind challenges relevance Levelized (LCOE) their future which neglects time-varying pri...
