IEC TS 62257-7-3:2018(E) specifies the general requirements for the selection, sizing, erection and operation of generator sets in decentralized rural electrification systems. It applies to all low voltage combustion engine electricity generator sets energized by renewable energy such...
Electric power systems are being transformed from older grid systems to smart grids across the globe. The goals of this transition are to address today's electric power issues, which include reducing carbon footprints, finding alternate sources of decaying fossil fuels, eradicating losses that...
This part of IEC 62257 specifies the general requirements for the selection, sizing, erection and operation of generator sets in decentralized rural electrification systems. It applies to all low voltage combustion engine electricity generator sets energized by renewable energy such...
Through Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technology, plants use waste as a renewable fuel to co-produce electricity, heating, and cooling for urban utilization. This professional book presents the latest developments in WtE technologies and their global applications. The first part of the book...
BACKGROUND ASHRAE commissioned the revision of design guide in response to the need for a current, comprehensive cool thermal energy storage reference manual. This document assists engineers and owners in evaluating cool thermal energy storage for specific applications, selecting the appropriate...
Executive Summary It's been estimated that every year in the U.S., about five percent of the electricity that is transmitted and distributed is lost.1 This is the equivalent of powering all of California for one year. Reducing electricity losses, even by a small amount, could result...
PURPOSE AND SCOPE This UFC is issued to provide guidance for designing and installing facility-scale renewable energy systems. The criteria contained herein are intended to ensure durable, efficient, and reliable systems and installations. Guidelines apply to facilityscale applications. A...
This Standard sets out the minimum safety requirements related to the use of generating sets for the supply of electricity at low voltage, that is, not exceeding 1000 V a.c or 1500 V d.c. The Standard applies to electricity generating sets that are driven by internal combustion...
Introduction Since April 2010 long term financial incentives for the generation of electricity from renewable sources have been available through the FITs scheme. Similar incentives for the small scale generation of renewable heat are also now available through the...
Executive Summary Some of the most significant barriers to microgrid deployment are created by policy and regulatory environments that were not designed to enable microgrids. Microgrids are small electric distribution systems that utilize distributed energy resources (DERs) to power a one or a...
The electrical power supply is about to change; future generation will increasingly take place in and near local neighborhoods with diminishing reliance on distant power plants. The existing grid is not adapted for this purpose as it is largely a remnant from the 20th century. Can the grid be...
Commercial development of eergy from renewables and nuclear is critical to long-term industry and environmental goals. However, it will take time for them to economically compete with existing fossil fuel energy resources and their infrastructures. Gas fuels play an important role during and...
IEC 61427-2:2015 relates to secondary batteries used in on-grid Electrical Energy Storage (EES) applications and provides the associated methods of test for the verification of their endurance, properties and electrical performance in such applications. The test methods are essentially battery...
Introduction Climate change and depleting resources of fossil fuels have increased the significance of renewable energy in the sources of energy that we use. Renewable energy can be generated from a number of sources including wind, sunlight, moving water, biomass and heat contained...
As zero net energy (ZNE) and other low-energy buildings become increasingly common, it is important to consider how different ZNE strategies can interact with local electricity grids. The electricity grid was built as a one-way street, with energy flowing from the power plant to...
A project supported through the U.S Department of Energy's Sunshot Initiative is looking at the technical and economic viability of utility scale solar electricity at several universities in the Midwestern U.S. The technical aspect is relatively straightforward in that most universities have...
This part of IEC 61427 relates to secondary batteries used in on-grid Electrical Energy Storage (EES) applications and provides the associated methods of test for the verification of their endurance, properties and electrical performance in such applications. The test methods are essentially...
The concept of Demand Response (DR) generally concerns methodologies, technologies and commercial arrangements that could allow active participation of consumers in the power system operation. The primary aim of DR is thus to overcome the "traditional" inflexibility of electrical demand and,...
The path towards zero energy buildings is fraught with many challenges, the onsite renewable energy production to drive consumer appliances that are not low or zero energy is an important challenge. Therefore, developing the energy production such that the production mode is matched to the...
