The energy community movement has grown considerably over the past ten years. Energy communities are also expanding their activities. However, room for new energy projects is limited because of grid congestion. Therefore, citizen energy communities (CECs) are looking for ways to reduce the pressure on …

The Smart Current Limiter is a switching DC to DC converter that provides a digitally pre-set input current control for inrush limiting and power management. Being able to digitally adjust the current level in combination with external feedback can be used for control systems like temperature control …

This paper proposes a Hybrid Microgrid (HμG) model including distributed generation (DG) and a hydrogen-based storage system, controlled through a tailored control strategy. The HμG is composed of three DG units, two of them supplied by solar and wind sources, and the latter one based on the exploitation …

Smart charging protocols for electric vehicles can help avoid overload and instability in the electrical distribution network and can increase the proportion of locally generated solar energy used for charging. Our results show that the impact of smart charging depends heavily on the technical charging …

New technologies or approaches are being widely developed and proposed to be deployed in real energy systems to improve desired objectives; however supporting decision making processes to select best solutions in terms of performance and efficient following cost-benefit analysis require some sort of …

The demand of renewable energy in the European Union is increasing significantly in order to reduce CO2 emissions. Efforts are being made for further development of biomethane and hydrogen to use it as a clean and sustainable fuel for vehicles. However, biomethane and hydrogen contains impurities that …

Balancing of the heat and electricity network as it is done nowadays and relevant challenges that need to be faced in the future, with the increase in intermittent renewable energy sources that produce energy on decentralized scale levels.

Purpose: To investigate whether standard X-ray acquisition factors for orbital radiographs are suitable for the detection of ferromagnetic intra-ocular foreign bodies in patients undergoing MRI. Method: 35 observers, at varied levels of education in radiography, attending a European Dose Optimisation …

The increase in renewable energy sources will require an increase in the operational flexibility of the grid, due to the intermittent nature of these sources. This can be achieved for the gas and the electricity grid, which are integrated by means of power-to-gas and vice versa, by applying gas and other …
