Several credible scenarios suggest must develop in parallel. 5 Solar PV Atlas At the local level, there has been some con- cern that PV development could conflict with livelihood and conservation goals. While these concerns are important to consider, research has consistently found that, when developed responsibly, ground-mounted and roof-mounted solar PV power plants provide considerable economic and environmental benefits. PV solar manufacturers, project developers, policy mak- ers, and other relevant parties should convene a multi-stakeholder initiative to establish global, sector-wide guidelines for responsible commu- nity engagement and land management. Each region selected for this atlas holds great so- lar resource. Resource availability alone, howev- er, does not define markets. Policy also shapes a nation’s energy supply, and, despite consider- able obstacles to overcome, there is room for optimism in each of the selected regions.

System A is hybridized with an auxiliary biomass boiler that complements the solar system’s thermal production, providing a constant heat supply to the ORC, which operates at full load during the operating hours of the solar system. In contrast, system B is not hybridized with biomass, so the ORC is fully driven by the solar system, operating at partial load according to the solar resource availability. Both systems are connected to the electrical grid, allowing electricity purchases and sales when needed. The design procedure involves the sizing of the equipment as well as the modelling of the hourly behavior of each system throughout the year.

  • Network Development Plan 2016 – 2025
    NOVEMBER 2015 NETWORK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2016 – 2025 A Ten-Year Plan for the Swedish National Grid. SVENSKA KRAFTNÄT Our society is dependent on electricity. Svenska kraftnät is responsible for ensuring that Sweden has a safe, environmentally sound and cost-effective transmission system for electricity – today and in the future. We achieve this in the short term by monitoring the electrical system around the clock, and in the long term by building new power lines to meet tomorrow’s electricity needs. Cover photo Tomas Ärlemo Org. Nr 202100-4284 SVENSKA KRAFTNÄT Box 1200 172 24 Sundbyberg Sweden Sturegatan 1 Tel +46 10-475 80 00 Fax +46 10-475 89 50 www.svk.se/en PREFACE The board of Svenska kraftnät decided in April 2013 on a long-term plan document for the development of the Swedish National Grid. Long-term plan 2025 described the challenges for Svenska kraftnät in the 10 to 15 years term. The purpose was, among other things, to increase the transparency of Svenska kraftnät’s planning and to provide an opportunity for the various stakeholders in the electricity market to influence it. Until then, the national network planning mainly consisted of the three-year investment and financing plans that Svenska kraftnät annually provide to the Government. These plans are, however, primarily a description of how investments already decided are expected to turn out over the next three financial years. They do not give an account of the Administration’s long-term priorities and the grounds for them. A certain network planning is conducted also at Nordic level in order to identify grid reinforcements with specific benefit for the whole of the Nordic electricity market.

  • Modelling Malta's Energy System Towards Sustainability
    Modelling Malta’s Energy System towards Sustainability A path to EU Guideline Compliance Cost Efficiency and System Stability Sustainable Energy planning and Management Master thesis: Modelling Malta’s Energy System towards Sustainability Project period: 01.02.2014 – 03.06.2014 Supervisor: Associate Professor David Connolly ABSTRACT This project aims at investigating how the Maltese energy system could move towards more sustainability in order to comply with the European targets for 2020, while maintaining system stability and being cost effective. The results in this project point out that sufficient renewable energy source [RES] potential is prevalent on Malta in order to install sufficient RES technology capacity to reach the assigned country’s specific 10 % RES share on final energy consumption within the 2020 EU target guideline. Despite the currently backlogged development of RES technologies in the Maltese energy system and despite severe land utilisation conflicts in relation with the deployment of RES, a first step towards a decarbonisation of the Maltese energy sector is possible and is rather a political issue than a technical or economic problem. The major role for a transformation of Malta’s energy system would lie in the use of solar water heaters and heat pumps, which would have almost no impact in regards of the land consumption issue and on the energy system’s stability. Both options imply positive economic, environmental and system stabilizing effects for Malta’s energy system. The installation of PV technology, which would have the highest theoretic potential among all considered technologies in this project, is strongly restrained through Malta’s geography and its energy system design.
