TL;DR: In this paper, a method is presented to help design the carbon capture and compression process retrofitted to the power station, which combines simulation, automated heat integration and multi-objective optimisation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied distribution network reliability, power loss, and power quality in the presence of distributed generation (DG) resources using the CYMEDIST software application, so as to increase reliability and decrease loss, they used innovative approaches to allocate DG resources.

TL;DR: In this stressful environment, efficiency is remarkably high, prices highly competitive, and there is no significant difference in the measured performance criteria between three and six firms.
Abstract: We study the behavior of prices, efficiency and wholesale buyer and seller profitability using paid human subjects in a two-sided sealed bid–offer (SBO) spot market bidding mechanism on a three-node radial supply system. Market power issues are addressed by comparing three with six remote generation firms. Key features of the supply/demand environment were developed through the authors' interactions with industry executives in a series of workshops sponsored in our laboratory: demand cycled through three levels, with a large spike of must-serve uninterruptible peak power requiring buyers to bid more than their resale values (and lose money) to obtain adequate power if they were to avoid outage penalties; off-peak generator companies had excess must-run baseload capacity and had to bid at or below marginal cost to avoid shut-down penalty costs; at mid-level shoulder demand both sides of the market were loss-free. In this stressful environment, efficiency is remarkably high, prices highly competitive, and we observe no significant difference in the measured performance criteria between three and six firms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed two ways of achieving this end: increasing the value of wind power by integrating the heat and power markets, and thus ensuring that wind power is never sold at a lower price than the most expensive heat alternative.

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-contained power system for powering a variable load uses a capacitor bank to power the load during periods of high current demand by the load at a steady load voltage.
Abstract: A self-contained power system for powering a variable load uses a capacitor bank to power the load during periods of high current demand by the load at a steady load voltage. The capacitor bank is recharged during periods of lesser demand from a battery pack which has a lesser current output capability than the maximum load demand. The battery pack in turn is periodically recharged from an only intermittently available power source.
