Diversification Of Energy Sources Research Articles

Determinants of energy system resilience

The importance of energy resilience for the EU countries and Ukraine in the context of geopolitical conflicts and challenges caused by Russian aggression is emphasized. The author em­pha­sizes the need to modernize energy net­works, continuous monitoring and analysis of the energy situation. The purpose of the study was to identify the factors that influence energy resilience and the state policy of energy system resilience. It is hypothesized that in times of crisis, state regulation, in particular support for diversified energy sources, construc­tion of efficient energy infrastructure, risk mana­gement systems and transparent regulatory poli­cies, play an important role in ensuring the resilience of the energy system. To achieve the aim of the research, a complex of general scientific and special methods were used such as historical and logical; analyzing factors of energy resilience, statistical aggregation and comparison are used in compiling and analyzing energy resilience indices. Based on such indicators of energy resilience as The Global Energy Vulnerability Index and The Energy Sove­reignty Index, the vulnerabilities of the energy systems of the EU and Ukraine are assessed and their path to energy independence is outlined. The analysis revealed a significant dependence of the EU countries on energy imports, which affects their self-sufficiency, while noting progress in renewable energy, particularly in Denmark, Fin­land, and Sweden. Ukraineʼs position in this ranking is quite low and comparable to European countries such as Slovakia, Poland, and Lithuania, which is a consequence of its dependence on energy imports, as well as low economic resilience and energy efficiency. Most EU countries have achie­ved their performance targets by applying holistic approaches to energy security. The factors affect­ting energy resilience are identified, inclu­ding geopolitical conflicts, availability of energy resour­ces, reliable infrastructure, moni­toring and risk management systems, energy efficient technolo­gies, and transparent regulatory policies. The author emphasizes Ukraineʼs decision to harmo­nize its energy policy with the EU principles, which provides for the update of the Energy Strategy of Ukraine to ensure resilient economic develop­ment and climate neutrality by 2050.

Evaluation of Different Methodologies for Wave Energy Conversion Systems Integration into the Power Grid Using Power Hardware-in-Loop Emulation

The ocean energy resources hold the promise of a sustainable solution within global efforts to diversify energy sources and mitigate climate change. Wave energy conversion (WEC) systems, as emerging technologies, offer adaptability and the potential to harness predictable wave energy. However, integration of WEC systems into a power grid brings challenges for system operators due to their nature of operation. Addressing these demands is a multilayered process that involves highly efficient power electronic devices, control systems, and efficient energy storage solutions. This paper specifically focuses on the methodologies of the grid integration of a specific wave energy conversion system—a point absorber developed by the company Sigma Energy. Proposed methodologies are experimentally tested using power hardware-in-loop (PHIL) emulation of a fully monitored and controlled small-scale microgrid equipped with a battery energy storage system (BESS), different emulators of loads, and distributed generators (DG).

Decentralized solutions for island states: Enhancing energy resilience through renewable technologies

Decentralized grid solutions could be a feasible alternative to improve resilience and mitigate cascading effects in island states. Our study explores approaches that reduce the risk of infrastructure failures and promote decentralized utility planning in islands. A novel framework is proposed to conduct a power system resilience assessment by integrating vulnerability assessments and energy system modelling approaches through network analysis. The framework is applied to an island context, where vulnerability to hydroclimatic hazards, geographic isolation, restricted access to energy sources, small population bases inadequate for substantial infrastructure investments, dependence on imported energy, lack of energy source diversification, and fragile ecosystems have exacerbated energy insecurity. As a case study, we have applied the framework to Cuba. We simulate disruptions in vulnerable network nodes in Cuba to determine the municipalities that are most impacted by the simulated cascading failures. We designed and optimized the lowest cost decentralized solutions to increase resilience either by acting as the baseload electricity source or as a complementary backup system to complement in case of a power outage. Then, the resilience of the designed system was assessed using power system resilience metrics. The study results show Regla municipality in Cuba as the most vulnerable hotspot for electricity distribution. Upon the different system comparisons, ancillary systems outperform backup systems in enhancing power system resilience, especially in the context of a disruptive event, supplying up to 53 MWh/day more, although they have higher investment costs. Based on this research, resource planners and policymakers can understand vulnerable node points and prioritize the necessary investments for the preferred system choice to alleviate impacts of energy insecurity on the Island States.

Leveraging its nonlinear time-series properties, the model integrates meteorological conditions and specific energy source data. Additionally, principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to extract linear time-series data characteristics for each energy source. Application of the proposed AI-infused approach to a renewable energy system demonstrates its effectiveness and feasibility in the context of climate change mitigation. Results reveal the superior accuracy of the hybrid framework compared to more complex models such as decision trees and ResNet. Specifically, our proposed method achieved remarkable performance, boasting the lowest error rates with a normalized RMSE of 6.51 and a normalized MAPE of 4.34 for solar photovoltaic (PV), highlighting its exceptional precision in terms of mean absolute errors. A detailed sensitivity analysis is carried out to evaluate the influence of every element in the hybrid framework, emphasizing the importance of energy correlation patterns. Comparative assessments underscore the increased accuracy and stability of the suggested AI-infused framework when compared to other methods.

Online Model Adaption for Energy Management in Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs)

The growing interest in low-impact mobility technologies has elevated the significance of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in the automotive sector. Given the complexity of the resulting powertrain, the need for an effective energy management strategy (EMS) becomes essential to optimize efficiency and energy consumption in vehicles with diverse energy sources. Model-based control is the main approach to address the EMS in electrified vehicles. In particular, fuel cell power is commonly represented through a 1D look-up table using the current demand as input to simplify the implementation in a vehicle control unit. Uncertainties that may be implemented in maps due to simplifying hypotheses, dynamics, ageing, etc., can be propagated to powertrain control, motivating the adoption of adaptive look-up tables for FC modelling. In this study, an extended Kalman filter (EKF) is proposed to adapt the look-up table to actual FC behaviour by measuring its power and gradually correcting calibration errors, drift, and ageing. Subsequently, a standard equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) is employed to control the FCEV. The fuel cell model is calibrated with experimental data from an FCEV. The results demonstrate that the adaptive strategy outperforms the base calibration. Following an extensive simulation campaign, an improvement of 1.1% in fuel consumption was observed. Remarkably, after just one hour of operation, there was a notable 85% reduction in fuel cell power estimation error, even when the EMS was initially fed a biased look-up table.

Multi-objective RIME algorithm-based techno economic analysis for security constraints load dispatch and power flow including uncertainties model of hybrid power systems

In recent times, the landscape of power systems has undergone significant evolution, particularly with the integration of diverse renewable energy sources (RESs). This advancement presents an invaluable opportunity to enhance energy efficiency in the modern power grid, primarily by bolstering the role of stochastic RESs. The challenge lies in the optimal power flow (OPF), a multifaceted and non-linear optimization challenge that grows more complex with the inclusion of stochastic RESs that aims to optimize the allocation of power system resources to minimize the operational cost while maintaining the stability and security of the system. Addressing this, the current study introduces an innovative optimization approach, the Multi-Objective RIME (MORIME) algorithm. Drawing inspiration from the physical phenomenon of rime-ice, called the RIME, the MORIME seeks to effectively tackle OPF issues. This algorithm enhances solution accuracy by smartly dividing with non-dominated sorting and crowding distance mechanism. The proposed OPF model incorporates three types of RESs: solar photovoltaic, wind and small-scale hydropower units. While uncertainties in wind speed and solar irradiation are managed through Monte Carlo simulations, the small hydro unit is considered a constant power source. The efficacy of the MORIME algorithm is tested on IEEE 30 bus systems and results indicate that the MORIME method identifies the optimal solution for the multi-objective OPF problem while satisfying the power system constraints, thereby proving its effectiveness and superiority over MOWOA, MOGWO, MOALO, MOMRFO and MOAGDE in terms of Hyper Volume (HV) and reciprocal of Pareto Sets Proximity (1/PSP) metrices.
