The research findings provide insight into how the Chinese government strongly and systematically decrees state-owned Chinese firms to expand into overseas markets to speed up learning efforts. Insights are offered regarding the nation-level strategic plans and institutional support policies mobilized by China in order to be able to conquer market shares internationally by building a strong home market and then facilitating an end-to-end and fully financed export solution. This is interesting in itself and in particular so because it now also includes complex billion-dollar megaprojects such as turnkey offshore wind farm assets with an expected lifespan of 30+ years. Research findings are provided on how European and Chinese firms may successfully forge long-term alliances also for future Chinese wind energy export projects. Examples of past efforts of collaboration not yielding desired results have been included as well. At policy level, recommendations are provided on how the evolution of the Chinese offshore wind power industry can be fast-tracked to mirror the revolutionary pace, volume, and velocity which the Chinese onshore wind power industry has mustered.

  • Full-Scale Implementation of RES and Storage in an Island Energy System
    inventions Article Full-Scale Implementation of RES and Storage in an Island Energy System Konstantinos Fiorentzis , Yiannis Katsigiannis and Emmanuel Karapidakis * Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Hellenic Mediterranean University, GR-71004 Heraklion, Greece; kfi[email protected] (K.F.); [email protected] (Y.K.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-2810-379-889 Received: 10 September 2020; Accepted: 29 October 2020; Published: 30 October 2020 Abstract: The field of energy, specifically renewable energy sources (RES), is considered vital for a sustainable society, a fact that is clearly defined by the European Green Deal. It will convert the old, conventional economy into a new, sustainable economy that is environmentally sound, economically viable, and socially responsible. Therefore, there is a need for quick actions by everyone who wants to move toward energy-efficient development and new environmentally friendly behavior. This can be achieved by setting specific guidelines of how to proceed, where to start, and what knowledge is needed to implement such plans and initiatives. This paper seeks to contribute to this very important issue by appraising the ability of full-scale implementation of RES combined with energy storage in an island power system. The Greek island power system of Astypalaia is used as a case study where a battery energy storage system (BESS), along with wind turbines (WTs), is examined to be installed as part of a hybrid power plant (HPP). The simulation’s results showed that the utilization of HPP can significantly increase RES penetration in parallel with remarkable fuel cost savings. Finally, the fast response of BESS can enhance the stability of the system in the case of disturbances.

  • Sudan Divestment Report to the Joint Committee On
    SUDAN DIVESTMENT REPORT TO THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON PENSIONS, INVESTMENTS AND BENEFITS June 30, 2016 Background and Statutory Requirements The 2007 Legislature passed Sudan Divestment legislation as part of Senate Substitute for House Bill 2457 (which is codified in K.S.A. 74-4921c). This statute stipulates that the Board of Trustees (“the Board”) of the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (“KPERS”) shall not invest KPERS funds in a company with business operations in Sudan which meets the following criteria: 1) the company is engaged in active business operations in Sudan. If that company is not engaged in oil-related activities, that company also lacks significant business operations in the eastern, southern and western regions of Sudan; and 2) either of the following apply: a) the company is engaged in oil-related or power-related activities and the company fails to take substantial action related to the government of Sudan because of the Darfur genocide; or b) the company has demonstrated complicity in the Darfur genocide. Also, the statute directs the Board not to invest KPERS funds in a company that supplies military equipment within the borders of Sudan. Key statutory requirements of the Sudan Divestment legislation are summarized below. Research and Engagement The Board may contract with a research firm or firms to determine those companies that have business operations in Sudan. On or before September 30, 2007, such research firms may report any findings to the Board and may submit further findings to the Board if there is a change of circumstances in Sudan. In addition, by September 30, 2007, the Board must take all of the following actions: 1) review publicly available information regarding companies with business operations in Sudan, 2) contact other institutional investors that invest in companies with business operations in Sudan, and 3) send a written notice to a company with business operations in Sudan that the company may be subject to divestiture under the statute.
