This paper examines peat power production in Ireland under the three pillars of energy policy—security, competitiveness and environment. Peat contributes to energy security—as an indigenous fuel, it reduces dependency on ...
Increasing penetration of wind power on power
systems worldwide is resulting in the unconventional operation
of base-load generating units. These units which were originally
designed for operation at full output are ...
Renewable electrical energy grid connection is
hampered by transmission capacity limitations and public
opposition to new transmission development. This paper
presents a methodology to find the optimal positions on ...
This paper examines the small-signal stability impacts of high penetrations of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines on power systems. It provides a basic overview of small-signal stability concepts and then ...
The electricity system of Ireland is unique as it has no synchronous connections to other
systems, while the existing non-synchronous connection provides limited flexibility.
When coupled with a target of 40% electricity ...
This paper summarizes work that has been done
to examine the impact of the uncertainty and variability of significant installed wind power on the Irish system. As more and more wind power is installed on the system, the ...
Battery electric vehicles are considered by many to
be part of a series of measures necessary to reduce global carbon
dioxide emissions and dependence on fossil fuel resources. The extent
to which this is possible depends ...
This study examines the 2013 Irish electricity network
and its ability to accommodate large levels of wind generation
while maintaining appropriate voltage levels across the
system. The network provides a fully functional ...
The penetration of Distributed Generation (DG) is increasing on distribution networks
across the world. Non-firm access to the network is now being proposed as a cost effective way to facilitate DG. However, concerns remain ...
The paper describes the methodology that has been developed for Transmission System Operators (TSOs) of Republic of Ireland, Eirgrid, and Northern Ireland, SONI the
TSO in Northern Ireland, to study the effects of advanced ...
