Wind energy generators sitting and sizing based on uncertain generation pricing
This paper proposes a methodology for sitting and sizing wind distributed generators (WDGs). These generators are characterised by an uncertain active power production due to the random behaviour of the wind speed. The uncertain generation directly impacts the network total generation cost and also the solution for the placement and sizing problem. So, this work takes into account this uncertain ...

Supplier strategies and responses to institutional drivers for an emerging energy technology
This paper investigates the role of suppliers of a new energy technology, when the market for that technology continues to be in a state of flux, and is characterised by continued regulatory and institutional developments. This paper first summarises the institutional drivers resulting in the widely divergent diffusion of distributed generation (DG) based on natural gas engines in the Netherlands ...

Development and opportunities of distributed generation fuelled by renewable energy sources
The key issue to the widespread of distributed generation (DG) is the ability to safely, reliably and economically interconnect new energy sources with the existing distribution network 'utility grid'. With the rising prices of petroleum fuel sources, a high expected penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) such as wind and solar as part of the emerging DG fuel resource are expected to be ...

Integrated framework for energy loss allocation in electric distribution systems under liberalised energy markets
This paper discusses an integrated framework for cost allocation of energy losses of electric distribution systems under liberalised energy markets. As key contribution is developed an allocation strategy based upon Locational and Uniform Incremental Prices. The locational incremental prices send efficient economical signals to distributed generators with incentives for loss minimisation and ...

Analysis and experimental verification of a control scheme for unified power quality conditioner
Improving power quality for sensitive load by a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) in a distributed generation system is presented in this paper. The power balance of a UPQC, consisting of back-to-back connected series and shunt Active Filters (AF), is analysed. Based on the analysis a novel control scheme is established in a 2-phase Synchronous Rotating d-q Frame (SRF). In this control ...

Solar powered mini steam power plant: a simulation approach
The solar powered steam power plant is a mini power plant that is meant to generate power at the location of the consumer hence playing a pivotal role in distributed power generation. This plant will also have a huge impact on the environment as it utilises the sun's energy, making it eco–friendly and reducing its impact on the environment by reducing the amount of fossil fuel consumption. In ...

How big is the distributed energy opportunity for water and wastewater utilities?
Energy costs for water utilities are large, and growing Energy is a significant cost for many water utilities, and costs are growing as more energy-intensive forms of water supply, including desalination, are being used. Energy is typically the second-largest utility budget item in developed countries, after labour. In many developing countries, energy can account for 70% or even more, of annual ...

Interview with Adam Penque, Lockheed Martin Energy
Tell us more about how and why Lockheed Martin Energy is building its position in the Waste to Energy sector. As the world population swells to more than seven billion and counting, the need for sustainable waste disposal and clean energy generation is growing with it. Lockheed Martin’s bioenergy power generation systems have the potential to solve both challenges At its core, the energy ...

Biofuel Promotion for Environmentally Sustainable Energy and Water Services
The success of power sector reform in India will rely in part on groundwater management improvements in the agricultural sector. Unreliable power supply and subsidized tariff structures lead to excessive water pumping by farmers who tend to pump water based on the power supply made available to them. Over-pumping contributes to higher energy consumption and rapid depletion of the groundwater ...

Assessing the benefits of a provision of system services by distributed generation
Distributed Generation (DG) units are said to have the potential to become an integral part of the future power systems. Today, DG units are characterised by high specific investment costs, but nevertheless are politically promoted because of their high degree of energy efficiency and their capability of reducing the current dependency on fossil fuels. However, at longer term DG units have to ...

Rhode Island: little state, big energy efficiency opportunity
Rhode Island is often the butt of jokes about its size, a lot of them having to do with an inability among residents to screw in electric light bulbs. But when it comes to energy policy, the state has often loomed large, even if few people notice. For example, it was Rhode Island that led the way with electric industry restructuring in the 1990s. California and Massachusetts usually get the ...
