TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the evolution of load curves to 2050 in Germany and Britain, two countries undergoing radically different energy transformations, and introduce two models for synthesizing future hourly load curves: eLOAD (electricity LOad curve ADjustment) and DESSTinEE (Demand for Energy Services, Supply and Transmission in EuropE).

TL;DR: Several local voltage control strategies using PV storage systems capable of voltage control can improve PV grid integration and provide a benefit to storage system owners.
Abstract: Local PV storage systems are emerging in Germany as PV feed-in tariffs have dropped below electricity prices for households. These PV storage systems provide the opportunity to increase the local consumption of locally generated PV energy. The so called self-consumption does not imply an explicit benefit for highly PV penetrated distribution grids suffering PV related voltage rises. Hence, this paper introduces several local voltage control strategies using PV storage systems. These strategies focus on adding a voltage control capability to self-consumption strategies through a combination of voltage dependent battery charging, automatic reactive power provision as well as PV power curtailment. Their potential to smooth the grid integration of PV while increasing self-consumption is assessed through grid simulations and an economic evaluation. In conclusion, PV storage systems which are capable of voltage control can improve PV grid integration and provide a benefit to storage system owners.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors designed and modeled six grid independent hybrid renewable energy systems (GIHRES), namely, solar/battery or/hydrogen/reverse osmosis desalination (ROD), wind/batteries or/Hydrogen/ROD, and solar/wind/binar battery energy storage, for increasing the fresh water availability and meeting the load demand.

TL;DR: A new stand-alone wind-PV hybrid generation system is proposed for application to remote and isolated areas that can provide high efficiency with the use of maximum-power-point tracking methods.
Abstract: With ever-increasing concerns on energy issues, the development of renewable energy sources is becoming more and more attractive. This paper first reviews both the wind power and photovoltaic (PV) power generation techniques and their maximum-power-point tracking (MPPT) methods. Then, a new stand-alone wind-PV hybrid generation system is proposed for application to remote and isolated areas. For the wind power generation branch, a new doubly excited permanent-magnet brushless machine is used to capture the maximum wind power by using online flux control. For the PV power generation branch, a single-ended primary inductance converter is adopted to harness the maximum solar power by tuning the duty cycle. The experimental results confirm that the proposed hybrid generation system can provide high efficiency with the use of MPPT.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a hybrid solar-wind-pumped storage system in standalone mode for an isolated microgrid of a scale of a few hundred kW, where the initial design process of the system's major components is presented, and then optimized based on a techno-economic evaluation.
