Distribution Grids

In the last years, a change in the power generation paradigm has been promoted by the increasing use of renewable energy sources combined with the need to reduce CO2 emissions. Small and distributed power generators are preferred to the classical centralized and sizeable ones. Accordingly, this fact led to a new way to think and design distributions grids. One of the challenges is to handle bidirectional power flow at the distribution substations transformer from and to the national transportation grid. The aim of this paper is to review and analyze the different mathematical methods to design the architecture of a distribution grid and the state of the art of the technologies used to produce and eventually store or convert, in different energy carriers, electricity produced by renewable energy sources, coping with the aleatory of these sources.

Power System Performance

In this study, the influence of using acid batteries as part of green energy sources, such as wind and solar electric power generators, is investigated. First, the power system is simulated in the presence of a lead–acid battery, with an independent solar system and wind power generator. In the next step, in order to estimate the output power of the solar and wind resources, a novel forecast model is proposed. Then, the forecasting task is carried out considering the conditions related to the state of charge (SOC) of the batteries. The optimization algorithm used in this model is honey bee mating optimization (HBMO), which operates based on selecting the best candidates and optimization of the prediction problem. Using this algorithm, the SOC of the batteries will be in an appropriate range, and the number of on-or-off switching’s of the wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) modules will be reduced. In the proposed method, the appropriate capacity for the SOC of the batteries is chosen, and the number of battery on/off switches connected to the renewable energy sources is reduced. Finally, in order to validate the proposed method, the results are compared with several other methods.

In this article, the aim is to demonstrate the economic viability and environmental advantages of diesel replacement for biodiesel, obtained by used fried oil to be used in power generators. To reach these goals, a study was performed in three toll plazas with diesel power generators in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The technical parameters for the study of diesel power generators were obtained from experiments conducted by the research group to guide the study. The results have appointed that biodiesel can be used as a substitute for diesel generators in the toll plazas, leading to economic and environmental advantages.Thus, the study provided a better understanding on the proposed subject, showing the importance of renewable energy sources towards environmental, political and economic events.

Energy Justice

Over 90% of Uganda's power is generated from renewable sources. Standardised Implementation Agreements and Power Purchase Agreements create a long-term relationship between Generating Companies and the state-owned off-taker guaranteed by Government. The COVID-19 pandemic and measures to curb the spread of the virus have triggered the scrutiny and application of force majeure (FM) clauses in these agreements. This article reviews the FM clauses and considers their relevance. The authors submit that FM clauses are a useful commercial tool for achieving energy justice by ensuring the continuity of the project, despite the dire effects of the pandemic. Proposals are made for practical considerations for a post-COVID-19 future which provides the continued pursuit of policy goals of promoting renewable energy sources and increasing access to clean energy, thus accelerating just energy transitions.
