Here, a transformer increases the voltage to 22 kV before the power is transmitted via a subsea cable to the shore-based power grid. The plan is to launch an upgraded demonstration unit at Runde in 2019 and connect it to the power grid using existing infrastructure. June 2, 2017 the system ...
Blame it on my day job, but as I was cut off by yet another driver fixated on his phone while cycling to work, I got to thinking that this is how wind and solar electrons must feel as they try to navigate the electric grid. There, too, the infrastructure and rules were designed for the conventional, fossil fuel-based generators, not their smaller, greener ...

Complex networks theory has been well established as a useful framework for studying and analysing structure, dynamics and evolution of many complex systems. Infrastructural and man–made systems like power grids, gas and water networks and the internet, have been also included in this network framework, albeit sometimes ignoring the huge ...
Even amid policy uncertainty in major wind power markets, wind developers still managed to set a new record for installations in 2012, with 44,000 megawatts of new wind capacity worldwide. ...
Most of critical infrastructures (CIs) depend on the power system. The predictable onset of a microgeneration paradigm (many dispersed small generators of medium-low power) will considerably decrease network stability and thus increase risk of failures and other's infrastructures dependence. In order to study the stability of ...
Apart from this, we evaluate how the topological efficiency and vulnerability measures (clustering coefficient, information centrality, betweenness centrality) evolve in the course of time. The decisions regarding the power grid topology are influenced by many, very often contradictory factors, such as costs, the size of the covered area, demand, fault tolerance, ...
Power station control and management systems represent key elements for guaranteeing the security of the power grid infrastructure. Intrinsically conceived to support the continuous provision of power in secure conditions, those systems today make intensive use of information and communication systems and are ...
