Water Impacts of a Low-Carbon Electric Power Future: Assessment Methodology and Status
Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 1-9 - 2015
Haibo Zhai, Edward S. Rubin
Water is an integral element of energy production. Future US energy production will increasingly be driven by the need to mitigate climate change, posing complex water challenges. The water impacts of electricity generation in a carbon-constrained future have been a subject of active research. This paper reviews technologies and regulatory policy options for low-carbon electricity generation, incl...... hiện toàn bộ
Scaling Up Renewables Through Regional Planning and Coordination of Power Systems in Africa—Regional Power System Planning to Harness Renewable Resources and Diversify Generation Portfolios in Southern Africa
Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 224-229 - 2018
Dudu Hadebe, Ahmed Hansa, Caswell Ndlhovu, Mbulelo Kibido
Southern Africa has an abundance of renewable energy resources, yet ~ 40% of its inhabitants do not have access to electricity. This paper summarizes the literature scan to understand the energy access challenge in the region, explores possible solutions, and examines the extent of planning and coordination at regional level aimed at exploiting energy from renewable energy sources and diversifying...... hiện toàn bộ
Mobility and Energy Impacts of Shared Automated Vehicles: a Review of Recent Literature
Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 193-200 - 2019
Susan Shaheen, Mohamed Amine Bouzaghrane
The purpose of this review is to present findings from recent research on Shared automated vehicles (SAV) impacts on mobility and energy. While the literature on potential SAV impacts on travel behavior and the environment is still developing, researchers have suggested that SAVs could reduce transportation costs and incur minimal increases in total trip time due to efficient routing to support po...... hiện toàn bộ
Regulatory Challenges for Energy Infrastructure—Do Electricity Distribution Remuneration Schemes in Europe Promote the Use of Flexibility from Connected Users?
Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 10 - Trang 112-117 - 2023
Miguel A. Ruiz, Tomás Gómez, José P. Chaves, Rafael Cossent
The electricity grid is facing important challenges in operation and planning due to the increase in intermittent renewable generation and the penetration of distributed energy resources. This article reviews the remuneration schemes of distribution system operators for fostering flexibility procurement in a representative sample of six selected European countries. Regulatory agencies should incen...... hiện toàn bộ
Benefits, Challenges, and Analytical Approaches to Scaling Up Renewables Through Regional Planning and Coordination of Power Systems in Africa
Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 5-12 - 2019
Daniel Russo, Asami Miketa
In light of the urgent need and ambition of African communities to scale up the deployment of renewable energy, this article explores the benefits and challenges presented by regional coordination in Africa, and how recent planning studies are reflecting those aspects in their analysis of future power sector expansion on the continent. Regional approaches to renewable deployment in Africa can redu...... hiện toàn bộ
Potential Impacts of Transportation and Building Electrification on the Grid: A Review of Electrification Projections and Their Effects on Grid Infrastructure, Operation, and Planning
Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 169-176 - 2019
Michael Blonsky, Adarsh Nagarajan, Shibani Ghosh, Killian McKenna, Santosh Veda, Benjamin Kroposki
This paper highlights the main impacts of transportation and building electrification on electricity grid infrastructure, operations, and planning. We focus on which electric technologies are expected to grow, how electrification will impact electricity demand and grid activities, and which solutions might improve the integration of these technologies. Recent industry reports show increasing proje...... hiện toàn bộ
Tariff Structures to Encourage Micro-Grid Deployment in Sub-Saharan Africa: Review and Recent Trends
Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 199-204 - 2018
Tim Reber, Samuel Booth
This article reviews trends for micro-grid tariffs in Sub-Saharan Africa from two perspectives: guidelines for setting tariffs and methods for structuring tariffs. Different approaches are briefly described, and general benefits and drawbacks presented based on recent experiences and available literature. The pace of micro-grid deployment has suffered from a lack of private sector investment, whic...... hiện toàn bộ
Urban Nexus Science for Future Cities: Focus on the Energy-Water-Food-X Nexus
Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 4 - Trang 173-179 - 2017
Joshua B. Sperling, Philip R. Berke
Rapid urban expansion of the world’s cities is placing unprecedented demands on the energy, water, food, and other (X) systems (e.g., mobility) that each offer multiple life-supporting services. Coordination that considers inter-sectoral connections among these urban systems and services remains nascent in practice, yet are critical to the future well-being, resource/operational efficiency, and re...... hiện toàn bộ
Attributional and Consequential Life-cycle Assessment in Biofuels: a Review of Recent Literature in the Context of System Boundaries
Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 82-89 - 2015
Elliot W. Martin, Mikhail V. Chester, Sintana E. Vergara
At the core of the debate over life-cycle assessment (LCA) modeling of the environmental impacts of biofuels is doubt that biofuels can mitigate climate change. Two types of LCA, attributional and consequential, have been applied to answer this question with competing results. These results turn on system boundary design, including feedstock considerations and assumptions of indirect land-use impa...... hiện toàn bộ
Increasing the Number of Installed Residential Heat Pump Water Heaters in the USA Through Improved Technology and Utility Programs
Current Sustainable/Renewable Energy Reports - Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 107-113 - 2021
Sparn, Bethany, Maguire, Jeff
Heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) offer an efficient alternative to electric resistance water heaters, but they suffer from limited market penetration. This paper reviews the current state of HPWHs in the USA, focusing on technology developments and programs to increase adoption. What technological improvements are needed to make HPWHs a good fit in more homes? What are the best ways of promoting HP...... hiện toàn bộ
