In the transition to carbon neutrality, conventional energy systems are experiencing a radical change with proliferation of distributed resources (DERs), including generation (especially renewable power generation), storage, flexible demand and electric vehicles. With support advanced control, information communication technologies, DERs in nearby geographical areas form local (LESs) for facili...

We evaluate the free energy of the random cluster model at its critical point for 0 < q < 4 using an exact result due to Baxter, Temperley and Ashley, and obtain an explicit expression in the form of an infinite series. It is found that the resulting series expression assumes a form which depends on whether or not π/2 cos−1( √ q/2) is a rational number. As a by-product, our consideration leads ...

Nowadays, optimal integration and utilization of renewable energy sources (RES) are of the most challenging issues in power systems. The wind and solar generation units' maximum production may or may not occur at peak consumption times resulting in non-optimal utilization of these resources. As a solution to this problem, energy storage systems (ESS) are embedded in networks. However, the power...

Process systems must interact with other systems by exchanging materials and utilities such as steam and electricity in order to attain production goals; such exchange of materials among different processes that may belong to different companies makeup the supply chain for a particular product. The integration of different process systems for improvement of financial and environmental performan...

  The paper uses economic and energy data analysis and econometric modeling to study the prospects and challenges of Korea’s 2003 FTA Roadmap (MOFAT 2013) in the form of potential comprehensive partnerships with its major trade and energy partners. It first reviews Korea’s international economic and trade relations in recent years with a focus on its major merchandise export destinations an...

This paper studies the interest of the integration of battery energy storage with Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) for improving the low voltage ride through capability (LVRT) of a fixed speed wind turbine connected to the grid. For this reason and by applying a grid fault, a comparison is made between integrating the SSSC, the STATCOM and the STATCOM with battery energy storage. The sy...
