Are large-scale dams environmentally detrimental? Life-cycle environmental consequences of mega-hydropower plants in Myanmar
(Springer, 2020)Purpose Rivers control biophysical processes that underpin essential ecosystem services. Myanmar’s rivers provide great opportunities for increasing energy supply at low costs from hydropower plants and make important ... -
Assessment of probabilistic wind forecasts at 100 m above ground level using doppler lidar and weather radar wind profiles
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)Modern society is very dependent on electricity. In the energy sector, the amount of renewable energy is growing, especially wind energy. To keep the electricity network in balance we need to know how much, when, and where ... -
Evaluating the effectiveness of strategic environmental assessment to facilitate renewable energy planning and improved decision-making: a South African case study
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)Criteria for the evaluation of the effectiveness of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) have evolved internationally from the requirement for mere procedural effectiveness, to include criteria such as substantial and ... -
Genetic fuzzy rule extraction for optimised sizing and control of hybrid renewable energy hydrogen systems
(Elsevier, 2020)A major challenge related to the design of a hybrid renewable energy hydrogen system is which energy sources to include and at what capacity, for regionally different potentials of renewable energy and hydrogen demand. In ... -
Interdependent multi-objective sizing and control optimisation of a renewable energy hydrogen system
(Elsevier, 2014)This paper presents a sizing and control optimisation architecture for the design and evaluation of a small-scale stand-alone hybrid PV-wind-battery system for the production of hydrogen (H2) using proton exchange membrane ... -
Introducing a group spatial decision support system for use in strategic environmental assessment of onshore wind farm development in Mexico
(Elsevier, 2019)In this paper we introduce a method for potential use in strategic environmental assessment (SEA) which integrates knowledge and tools of Collective Intelligence, Complexity Theory and Geoprospective, via the implementation ... -
Power management and sizing optimisation of renewable energy hydrogen production systems
(Elsevier, 2019)This paper presents the combined sizing and power management optimisation methodology for a small-scale stand-alone hybrid renewable energy (RE) hydrogen production system. System cost is argued to be dependent on efficiency ... -
Renewable energy thermoelectric module air conditioning system-design factors: a review
(Research India Publications, 2018)The conventional air conditioner is fast becoming a noticeable energy user that negatively affects the supplier’s ability to supply energy during peak periods when the country’s energy need rises. The Clean Development ... -
The role of international sustainable development law principles in enabling effective renewable energy policy: a South African perspective
(NWU, 2012)It is universally accepted that renewable energy is an important contributing factor towards the promotion of sustainable development. The implementation of renewable energy needs to be regulated in an effective manner ... -
Sizing of renewable energy hydrogen systems
(IEEE, 2011)This paper explains the simulation and sizing optimization of renewable energy systems for hydrogen production. These systems are complex and challenging to size correctly due to the nonlinearities of the components and ...
