For most people (and for most homes) the likelihood of going through a whole year spending next to nothing on energy is a goal that seems far out of reach. In fact, it is only relatively recently that insulation technologies, coupled with cutting-edge renewable energy tools, have made the concept of a net-zero energy use home anything more than a pipe dream. However, thanks to a program at the ...

U.S. manufacturing—and the jobs that go with it—have been steadily increasing since 2010. As President Obama mentioned during last month’s State of the Union address, the U.S. economy added 568,000 new manufacturing sector jobs between January 2010 and December 2013. Meanwhile, industry—of which manufacturing is the largest component—reduced its energy-related CO2 ...

In this paper, a new robust controller has been proposed for attaining the maximum safe instantaneous wind penetration. Particle swarm optimisation (PSO)-based algorithm has been developed to obtain the maximum safe instantaneous penetration by the optimisation of grid parameters. The developed algorithm has been tested on modified IEEE 14-bus system. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology ...

Waitrose store opening biomass plant on the Isle of Wight this year could supply heat to local housing. Supermarkets designed to go ‘off-grid’ may also offer a glimpse into a future where retail outlets act as local energy hubs. A Waitrose store in the Isle of Wight in southern England is due to open a biomass power plant later this year. The Waitrose store will be fuelled by locally ...

Unquestionably, in the last years, the number of generators connected directly to electric power distribution systems has increased. In addition, the main statistics and signals show that such tendency could become even more intense in the coming years. As a consequence of this policy, many technical factors related to control, protection, operation and analysis of distribution systems should be ...

Renewable energy is considered important to improve environmental performance and the long-term security of energy supply. As most renewable energy technologies are not competitive in conventional power markets, they need public support in order to become so. The purpose of this paper is to discuss and understand the dynamic structure in development of renewable energy technologies in connection ...
