As policies have been implemented globally to limit the production of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and effects climate change, generation electricity by renewable technologies has started increase. The development sustainable energy storage solutions also become more important. continued use conventional chemical batteries presents environmental issues such as heavy metal pollution unsustainable res...

A promising energy storage option to compensate for daily and seasonal energy offsets is to inject and store heat generated from renewable energy sources (e.g. solar energy) in the ground, oftentimes referred to as soil borehole thermal energy storage (SBTES). Nonetheless, it is widely recognized that the movement of water vapor is closely coupled to thermal processes. However, their mutual int...

the renewable energy sources and plug-in electric vehicles (pevs) are becoming very popular because of the combination of high fuel costs and concerns about emission issues. this paper presents modelling and control of a building integrated fuel cell and plug-in electric vehicles (bifc-pev) in smart distribution systems. in bifc-pev system, conventional building elements could be replaced by sp...

We examine public policies and technological solutions that aim to decarbonize electricity production by replacing fossil fuel energy by intermittent renewable sources, namely wind and solar power. We consider a model of investment and production with two sources of energy: one is clean but intermittent (wind or solar), whereas the other one is reliable but polluting (thermal power). Intermitte...

In this study, an experimental setup is developed to assess the thermal performance of a compact Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage System (LHTESS) prototype during charging/discharging stages. The LHTESS consists shell and horizontally oriented multi-tube heat exchanger commercially available paraffin wax RT44HC, which has phase change temperature between 41°C 43 °C as energy storage medium. t...
