The Energy Resources Program
No full textThe United States Geological Survey (USGS) Energy Resources Program addresses the challenge of increasing demand for affordable energy from environmentally acceptable energy sources by conducting basic and applied research on geologic energy resources and on the environmental, economic, and human health impacts of their production and use. This site provides links to specific information about the program, such as science strategy, roles of principal federal energy agencies, and energy program fact sheets and contacts. It also contains links to specific energy source information about coal, oil, gas, and alternative fuels such as uranium, oil shale, heavy oil, and tar sands as well as geothermal and solar. Other links are available to environment and human health, publications, and energy links and teams. There is also a link to use GEO-DATA Explorer (GEODE) to access, view, and download information from geo-spatial databases containing a broad spectrum of data produced by the USGS and other government agencies
Renewable Energy: Past Trends and Future Growth in 2 Degrees Scenarios
No full textAbstractThis study explores past growth rates of renewable energy sources (1971-2012) and required future ones in 2 degrees scenarios. Results show that in spite of comparatively high growth of renewable energy in the period 2000-2012, the share of renewable energy in total energy use stayed the same (13%). The overall increase in renewable energy amounted to 2.2%/yr in the period 1971-2012 and 2.6%/yr in the period 2000-2012. In order to be consistent with a 2 degrees pathway the growth rate would need to increase to 3-5%/yr. Especially high growth would be required for wind, solar and geothermal (∼10%/yr). This would lead to a change in the mix of renewable energy used, with a much higher share of variable renewable energy sources. However most notable is the strong difference in the growth of energy use, compared to past trends. Primary energy use needs to consistently decrease by 0.1-0.5%/yr for OECD regions, up to 2050, which would require a breach from past trends. But especially for non-OECD regions the needed change is large. Regional growth rates for energy use in the period 2000-2012 range from 1.5%/yr to 6.1%/yr and should decrease to the range of -0.2%/yr to 0.9%/yr

Distributed Energy Resources and Power System Stability
No full textFuture power systems will contain a considerable portion of distributed energy resources. To accommodate this, well
established requirements are applied both at the system development and operation stages. One of the main requirements is the
existence of a dynamic stability reserve that is capable of providing sufficient support to the system during transients. However, the
future dynamic characteristics of power systems are unknown and in this respect appropriate modelling and uncertainty handling
techniques are required. To provide this, automation procedures have been developed to estimate future stability reserves for the
systems under consideration
Operation of distributed energy resources in smart distribution networks /
No full textOperation of Distributed Energy Resources in Smart Distribution Networks defines the barriers and challenges of smart distribution networks, ultimately proposing optimal solutions for addressing them. The book considers their use as an important part of future electrical power systems and their ability to improve the local flexibility and reliability of electrical systems. It carefully defines the concept as a radial network with a cluster of distributed energy generations, various types of loads, and energy storage systems. In addition, the book details how the huge penetration of distributed energy resources and the intermittent nature of renewable generations may cause system problems. Readers will find this to be an important resource that analyzes and introduces the features and problems of smart distribution networks from different aspects.Includes bibliographical references and index.Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed June 13, 2018).Front Cover; Operation of Distributed Energy Resources in Smart Distribution Networks; Copyright Page; Dedication; Contents; List of Contributors; Preface; 1 Definition of Smart Distribution Networks; 1.1 Introduction to Smart Grid Paradigm; 1.1.1 The Transition From Passive to Active Networks; 1.1.2 Challenges in Smart Distribution Network Implementation; 1.1.3 Observability and Controllability of Smart Distribution Networks; 1.2 Microgrids, Nanogrids, and Virtual Power Plants in Distribution Networks; 1.2.1 Microgrids; 1.2.2 Nanogrids; 1.2.3 Virtual Power Plants.1.2.4 Smart Distribution Networks With Multimicrogrids Reorganization1.3 Conclusion; References; Further Reading; 2 Impact of Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Storage Technologies on the Operation and Planning of Smart Distribution Ne ... ; 2.1 Introduction; 2.2 Impact of Distributed Energy Resources on Distribution Networks; 2.2.1 Transition From Passive to Active Distribution Networks; 2.2.2 Modeling of Renewable Output Power in Smart Distribution Networks; 2.2.2.1 Photovoltaic Generators Modelling; 2.2.2.2 Wind Generation Modeling.2.2.3 Critical Operation of Distribution Networks With High Penetration of Renewable Sources2.3 Use of Distribution Energy Storage for the Integration of Renewable Energy Sources; 2.3.1 Smart Distribution Networks and Energy Storage Systems; 2.3.2 ESS Overview; 2.3.3 Use of Distributed ESS in a Low Voltage Distribution Network; 2.4 Planning Approaches for Integrating High Shares of Renewable Energy Sources; 2.4.1 Distribution Network Planning and Operation With Smart Grids; 2.4.2 Optimal Network Topology for RES Integration-Meshed or Radial?; 2.4.3 Flexible Network Reconfiguration.2.4.4 Management of Uncertainties and Risk With a Probabilistic Approach2.4.5 Energy Losses Reduction; 2.4.6 Ageing; 2.5 Conclusion; References; 3 Demand Response Enabled Optimal Energy Management of Networked Microgrids for Resilience Enhancement; 3.1 Introduction; 3.2 Applied Strategies to Enhance the Resilience of Microgrids; 3.2.1 Energy Management System in Proposed Networked Microgrids Structure; 3.2.2 Demand Response Programs; 3.3 Problem Formulation; 3.3.1 Distributed Energy Resources; 3.3.2 Load Demand; 3.3.3 Battery Modeling; 3.3.4 Transaction of Power Among the MGs.3.4 Objective Function3.4.1 Normal Operation Mode; 3.4.2 Emergency Operation Mode; 3.4.3 Resilience Index; 3.4.4 Optimization Procedure; 3.5 Numerical Results; 3.6 Conclusion; References; 4 The Use of Hybrid Neural Networks, Wavelet Transform and Heuristic Algorithm of WIPSO in Smart Grids to Improve Short-Ter ... ; 4.1 Introduction; 4.2 Hybrid Neural Network; 4.3 Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm; 4.4 Data Selection; 4.5 Preparation of Data; 4.5.1 Wavelet Transform; 4.5.2 Normalization; 4.6 Evaluation Criterion for the Obtained Results; 4.7 Prediction Motor; 4.8 Simulation; 4.9 Conclusion.Operation of Distributed Energy Resources in Smart Distribution Networks defines the barriers and challenges of smart distribution networks, ultimately proposing optimal solutions for addressing them.
