Yang, Zhe (author), Liu, Zhou (author), Zhang, Qi (author), Chen, Zhe (author), de Jesus Chavez, Jose (author), Popov, M. (author)The traditional fault control strategy of converter-interfaced renewable energy sources (CIRESs) may bring about a lower sensitivity level or misoperation of fault component-based directional elements. To overcome this problem, a new control scheme is proposed to adjust sequence impedance angles of CIRESs by computing suitable current...journal article 2023

Auguadra, Marco (author), Ribo-Perez, D.G. (author), Gómez-Navarro, Tomás (author)The intermittent nature of the renewable energy sources with the greater potential, wind and solar, requires dealing with temporary mismatches between demand and supply. The object of this study is to assess the Spanish energy plan from a system perspective regarding the energy storage requirements to meet electricity demand with high...journal article 2023

Wu, F. (author), Muller, Adrian (author), Pfenninger, Stefan (author)Biomass is a growing renewable energy source in Europe and is envisioned to play a role for realising carbon neutrality, predominantly using dedicated energy crops. However, dedicated biomass is controversial for reasons including its competition with food production or its land-use and emissions impacts. Here we examine the potential role of a...journal article 2023

van Hagen, L.J.A. (author), Petrick, Kristian (author), Wilhelm, Stefan (author), Schmehl, R. (author)A key motivation for airborne wind energy is its potential to reduce the amount of material required for the generation of renewable energy. On the other hand, the materials used for airborne systems’ components are generally linked to higher environmental impacts. This study presents comparative life-cycle analyses for future multi-megawatt...journal article 2023

Eitan, Avri (author), Fischhendler, Itay (author), van Marrewijk, A.H. (author)The energy transition process nowadays is characterized by the replacement of fossil fuels-based means of production with renewable energy (RE). Alongside the diffusion of decentralized RE, this process is associated with the increased promotion of RE megaprojects. Such megaprojects, however, are often shaped by path-dependent lock-ins and thus...journal article 2023
