This paper presents a 2-level controller managing a hybrid energy storage solution (HESS) for the grid integration of photovoltaic (PV) plants in distribution grids. The HESS is based on the interconnection of a lead-acid ...

The purpose of the paper is to introduce a new bi-directional approach to assess the gapbetween the customer needs and technology developers’ perception on the value propositions ofinnovations which includes storages. The ...

Electrochromic smart windows (ESWs) offer an attractive option for regulating indoor lighting conditions. Electrochromic materials based on ion insertion/desertion mechanisms also present the possibility for energy storage, ...

We assess two techniques for extracting coherent vortices out of turbulent flows: the wavelet based Coherent Vorticity Extraction (CVE) and the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). The former decomposes the flow field ...

The growing share of weather-dependent power generation in the Swedish power system is challenging the stability of the whole system. Therefore, the need to increase system flexibility by frequency regulation reserves is ...

Next generation concentrated solar power (CSP) plants promise a higher operating temperature and better efficiency. However, new issues related to the corrosion against protection of the construction alloys need to be ...

Determining battery ageing is a key issue in predicting the available charge in battery-operated systems. Beyond the common use of voltage or current measurements, which have proved unsuccessful as general methods, we aim ...

Aquest projecte inclou l’estudi tècnic i de mercat previ al llançament de la solució Wiser Energy Center, de Schneider Electric, a Espanya. Conjuntament, s’ha realitzat una eina de càlcul pel dimensionat de l’ecosistema ...
