TL;DR: In this paper, a prototype electrical generator for delivering and storing small amounts of electricity is presented, where a single thermoelectric generator is used to convert a small portion of the heat flowing through it to electricity.

TL;DR: In this article, different electricity-to-thermal energy strategies to supply also heating and cooling demands were investigated to enable higher than usual RES shares through converting surplus renewable electricity into thermal energy which often constitute a major part of the end-use energy in a city.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make the case for grid-connected PV generation in Brazil, showing that with the declining costs of PV and the rising prices of conventional electricity, urban populations in Brazil will also enjoy grid parity in the present decade.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an account of the latest developments in the development of wind power generator simulation models, including the ability to model complex plants, energy storage, and frequency response capabilities.
Abstract: With the tremendous growth of wind power worldwide in the past decade, there has been an equally great demand for simplified, standard, and publicly available models for simulating wind power generators in commercially available power system simulation tools for stability analysis. Several efforts have been on the way to meet this need. The Western Electricity Coordinating Council's Renewable Energy Modeling Task Force has successfully achieved this goal and more recently has been working on expanding these models to include the ability to model complex plants, energy storage, and frequency response capabilities. This paper presents an account of these latest developments.

TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-Z-source inverter (qZSI) with battery for PV power generation system is proposed, which can smooth the grid-injected power when PV power fluctuates.
