Small Scale Pumped Thermal Energy Storage Modeling and Optimization

Variable green energy sources were sought to supply the growing demand for energy without impacting the environment. Wind and solar energy are at the forefront of the energy transition. However, their intermittent nature poses a challenge that necessitates the development of energy storage technologies. <br/>Several technologies were studied...

Techno-economic assessment of grid connected Power to Heat and Power to Hydrogen technologies: An electricity market scenario approach

Wind energy is the most promising renewable energy source for the Netherlands in the energy transition period. However, the investment costs of the offshore wind are huge. Until now, the government was supporting the investments in wind farms with subsidy schemes irrespective of the electricity market dynamics. The latest large-scale offshore...

Power-to-heat integration in a combined heat and power installation to provide flexibility to the Dutch grid

The increase in the share of renewable energy sources in the Dutch energy mix, requires an increase in flexibility from the power consumers and producers. A key issue in the availability of wind and solar power that it is independent of the power demand. Fortunately, the liberalised power market provides a financial incentive to increase both...
