Electrical energy storage scheduling: Short-term scheduling for the intraday market using stochastic programming

The global push for renewable energy faces challenges due to the unpredictable and inconsistent nature of wind and solar sources. These inherent characteristics of renewable energy sources add volatility to the electricity markets. In response, electrical energy storage (EES) emerges as a solution for maintaining grid flexibility, stability, and...

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...

Energy storage on ships

Energy efficiency measures are a priority in the near term to reduce the carbon intensity of maritime sector in the next years. Since 2017, IMO has been proposing policies to rapidly promote the adoption of cleaner technologies and fuels for oceangoing vessels. Lithium-ion batteries have been recently installed onboard smaller scale ferries...

eVTOL Design, Energy Storage & Charging

As electric vehicles are quickly taking over the automotive industry, electric airplanes are also starting their upswing. With air travel and transport in general being a large polluter of CO2 gases, the transition to electric flight becomes more prominent every year. This transition is starting small with non-commercial airplanes. Several...

Residential grid storage technology battles: a multi-criteria analysis using BWM

This article focuses on the battle for dominance between various battery technologies in the residential grid storage market (&lt; 10 KWh) in the context of residential energy systems and the related home energy management systems. We focus on five major battery technologies that are available in the market (lithium-based batteries, lead...

How do demand response and electrical energy storage affect (the need for) a capacity market?

To ensure security of supply and incentivize reliable investment in generation capacity, capacity markets (CMs) have been implemented or are being considered. However, demand response (DR) and electrical energy storage (EES) also contribute to system adequacy. In this paper, we analyse the change in the need for a CM if DR and EES are...

Concept Design of Hybrid Crane Vessel

Heerema Marine Contractors operates large crane vessels, which are exploited for installation works in the offshore oil and gas industry. The benchmark power system of these crane vessels is diesel electric meaning that the main engines are driving alternators for generating electric power. But due to spiky power demand and strict redundancy...

The role of electrical energy storage in a future sustainable electricity grid

The call for lower CO2 emissions has increased the integration of renewable energy sources in the electricity system. However, these intermittent sources do not follow the cycles of demand and are unpredictable in their nature. As the electrical system needs to constantly balance supply and demand, these renewable sources cause problems in the...

Highrise energy storage core: Feasibility study for a hydro-electrical pumped energy storage system in a tall building

To counter the effects of carbon dioxide emissions and to become less dependent on energy imports, the electrical energy production in Europe is likely to make a significant shift towards renewable energy sources in the coming years. One of the major challenges in this transition process is to match the unpredictable and fluctuating supply of...
