Lithium-Ion Battery Storage for the Grid—A Review of Stationary Battery Storage System Design Tailored for Applications in Modern Power Grids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of battery energy storage systems for serving grid support in various application tasks based on real-world projects and their characteristics with respect to performance and aging.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of modelling tools for energy and electricity systems with large shares of variable renewables
TL;DR: An updated overview of currently available modelling tools, their capabilities and to serve as an aid for modellers in their process of identifying and choosing an appropriate model for analysing energy and electricity systems is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
PyPSA: Python for Power System Analysis
TL;DR: The basic functionality of PyPSA is described, including the formulation of the full power flow equations and the multi-period optimisation of operation and investment with linear power flow equation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The importance of open data and software: Is energy research lagging behind?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors take stock of the status quo and propose actionable steps forward for the energy research community to ensure that it can better engage with decision-makers and continues to deliver robust policy advice in a transparent and reproducible way.

A model of household energy services in a low-income rural African village
TL;DR: The gathering of fuel-wood and other traditional fuels is a strenuous and time consuming task mainly performed by women; indoor exposure to particulate matter, mainly from cooking and heating with traditional fuels, causes about 2.5 million deaths each year in developing countries as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling for insights, not numbers: the experiences of the energy modeling forum
TL;DR: How each EMF study has broadened the understanding of the nature of the relevant policy issues and the models that have been, are, or could be used to address them is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The iterative contribution and relevance of modelling to UK energy policy
TL;DR: This paper analyses the large number of long-term UK CO2 reduction scenarios through a clustering approach on target stringency and barriers to implementation, including the critical role of the power sector, trade-offs between resources, sectors, key energy technologies and behavioural responses, and the increasing level and spread of CO2 marginal prices and GDP impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
More heat and light
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss energy policy with a focus on energy security as an effective vehicle for large-scale action in providing modern, clean energy services, and outline specific and limited examples of where international cooperation could play a role supporting national actions and ensuring universal access.
