Evaluating electricity generation expansion planning in Ghana
… government's response was a reactive approach to generation expansion planning, focused on increasing supply. Power generation was opened up to the private sector and emergency power plants were procured. 93 percent of capacity installed during this post-crisis period was thermal generation, which …

Compressed air storage for electricity generation in South Africa
… compressed air energy storage as an alternative generation capacity for the South African electricity industry. In chapter one, an introduction to energy storage, electrical energy storage was introduced as an alternative generation option. Various energy storage technologies were discussed with …

Floating offshore wind farms : demand planning & logistical challenges of electricity generation
… farms are likely to become the next paradigm in electricity generation from wind energy mainly because of the near constant high wind speeds in an offshore environment as opposed to the erratic wind speeds in their onshore counterparts. By using floaters adapted from oilrigs, floating offshore …

Smart charging strategies for Electric Vehicles utilising non-dispatchable renewable electricity generation
… utilisation of these fuels - particularly for electricity generation and transportation - is simply not sustainable. Present-day electricity systems are built around the premise that generation is flexible and controllable, while load - generally speaking - is not. This leads to dispatch models …

Risk implications of the deployment of renewables for investments in electricity generation
… a large penetration of intermittent renewable electricity generation -such as wind and solar power- may have on the future electricity generation technology mix, focusing on the anticipated new operating conditions of different thermal generating technologies and their remuneration in a …
-
Electricity generation and emissions reduction decisions under uncertainty : a general equilibrium analysis
… faces the following question: What should the electricity mix we build in the next decade look like? We can continue to focus on conventional generation or invest in low-carbon technologies. There is no obvious answer without explicitly considering the risks created by uncertainty. This …
