Hydrogen infrastructure costs will vary by region as geographic characteristics and feedstocks differ. This paper proposes a method for optimizing regional hydrogen infrastructure deployment by combining detailed spatial data in a geographic information system (GIS) with a technoeconomic model of hydrogen infrastructure components. The method is applied to a case study in Ohio in which coal-bas...

Renewable systems influence the process of supplying domestic electricity demands. It will be useful to replace the conventional energy generation system by renewable energy sources since the uncontrolled use of fossil fuels is accompanied by global warming and environmental hazards, in addition to the danger of their depletion, and because most of the energy derived from these fuels are used i...

Woody feedstocks will play a critical role in meeting the demand for biomass-based energy products in the US. We developed an integrated model using comparable system boundaries and common set of assumptions to ascertain unit cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of electricity and ethanol derived from slash pine (Pinus elliottii) at the production and consumption levels by considering existi...

We analyze the design of optimal feed-in tariff schedules under production-based learning. We examine least cost policies in a simple two-period model that focuses on bringing down the levelized cost of renewable technologies to a predefined target under two well-known dynamics: learning-by-doing (LBD) and economies of scale (EOS). We show that, when the levelized cost reduction target is strin...

In liberalized markets, consumers can choose their electricity suppliers or be part of an energy community. The problem with communities is that they may not have enough weight to trade in which overcome by forming coalitions. Electricity traded spot markets through bilateral contracts involving and suppliers. This paper devoted contracting, modeled as a negotiation process iterative exchange o...

The efficiency of investments in the thermal energy Ukraine to reduce carbon dioxide emissions conditions increasing tariff for CO2 is analyzed. Assuming a linear increase tariff, relationship between levelized cost power plants (LCOE) with growth rate emission technical parameters plants, time frame and interest project. For different types grouped by value coefficient conversion into electric...

At the present stage of electric power industry development, special attention is being paid to development and research new efficient energy sources. The use hydrogen fuel cells promising for remote autonomous supply systems. authors paper have developed structure determined optimal composition a hybrid generation system based on battery storage conducted studies its operating modes consumers’...

Fast growing and emerging economies face the dual challenge of sustainably expanding and improving their energy supply and reliability while at the same time reducing poverty. Critical to such transformation is to provide affordable and sustainable access to electricity. We use the capacity expansion model SWITCH to explore low carbon development pathways for the Kenyan power sector under a set...

Indonesia strives for a renewable energy share of 23% by 2025. One option to contribute this goal is Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). Despite global theoretical potential up 30 TW, its economically deployable remains unknown. This paper proposes novel methodology, which enables determine OTEC’s economic any regional scope considering technical, and natural variables. The methodology was ...
