Excess electricity diagrams and the integration of renewable energy (2003)
This article presents a methodology of showing the rate of integration of specific renewable energy sources (RESs) into the electricity supply system. The methodology is used on large-scale integration of wind, photo voltaic and wave power into a future Danish reference … Continue reading
The Role of Electricity Storage for Integrating Wind Power in Ireland (2010)
In the PhD dissertation “Integration of fluctuating renewable energy using energy storage”, David Connolly used the EnergyPLAN model to analyse pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES). After completing an extensive review of existing energy tools, EnergyPLAN was chosen for this research … Continue reading
Danish Expert Group on electricity production from CHP and Renewable Energy (2000-2001)
In 2000-2001, the EnergyPLAN model was used in the contributions of Aalborg University to the work of a Danish expert group formed by the Danish Energy Authorities to analyse the excess electricity production problem arising from large-scale integration of CHP … Continue reading
EU Project DESIRE: Electricity Balancing for the Large Scale Integration of RES (2005-2007)
In 2005-2007, the EnergyPLAN model was used in the EU-funded project DESIRE (Dissemination Strategy on Electricity Balancing for Large Scale Integration of Renewable Energy). In six regions in Denmark, Germany, the UK, Poland, Spain and Estonia, models of the electricity … Continue reading
County Energy Systems for Humboldt, California, USA (2007)
In 2007, Michael Winkler from Humboldt State University in California USA used the EnergyPLAN model for analysing a county energy system for Humboldt. The study concludes that Humboldt County has sufficient renewable resources to meet all energy needs and that … Continue reading
Energy Model of Italy and Penetration of Renewable Energy (2010)
In 2009-10, Professor Alessandro Franco, together with Pasquale Salza from the University of Pisa, used the EnergyPLAN model for analysing the perspectives of integration of a renewable energy system in the field of a complex energy system like the Italian … Continue reading
Local Energy Markets and MOSAIK (2002-2004)
In 2002-2004, two research projects funded by the Danish Energy Agency and the Danish Environment and Energy Ministry used the EnergyPLAN model for designing a flexible energy system which could promote the integration of both CHP and wind power. It … Continue reading
A Romanian energy system model and a nuclear reduction strategy (2011)
In the PhD project “Computer Aided Design for stand-alone hybrid renewable energy systems”, Dan Gota developed an energy model for the Romanian energy system. The model for the Romanian energy system was made with the purpose of providing a tool for … Continue reading
