Prosumerism can help the energy end users achieve energy ownership. The stakeholders can decide what to do with the energy they produce. It helps them take part in energy selling and procuring and also provides them with the choice of whom to buy from and at what price. The export of excess energy can also be done at prices they deem suitable for t...

With the trend for increase in the global demand for energy and depletion of oil resources becoming evident, the oil and gas players were in immediate need to adopt measures to bridge this supply-demand gap. Their focus had turned towards tapping into unconventional oil reserves as they exhibited sufficient potential to meet the future energy. This...

This edition of the Energy and Power Systems TOE covers topics such as molten salt storage and energy generation applications, a offshore wind turbine design, an innovation in grid monitoring, and an efficient inverter for Electric vehicles. Thermal energy storage is an important technology as it enables high storage density for prolonged periods o...

Zero energy buildings (ZEBs) are those buildings that do not depend on the grid for their own energy needs, They make themselves independent of the grid by improving the energy efficiency and also by depending on onsite renewable energy generation to meet their energy needs. These buildings depend on different solutions and technologies like solar ...

There are 3 main goals that influence direction research and development for anode and cathode for lithium-ion batteries, which are to increase longevity of the battery both in terms of capacity and calendar life, to widen safe operating windows and to reduce cost per kWh of battery. These 3 main goals or achievement lead or push researchers to con...

The power infrastructure is divided into isolated subsystems to facilitate reliable power supply to auxiliaries, consumers and isolated power systems. The complication and unpredictability of operating conditions in the electrical networks are influenced by renewable energy sources and market factors which drives the importance for the enlargement ...

Virtual PowerPlants(VPPs) are an aggregation of different distributed energy resources(DER), controlled to meet the demand and manage loads, especially during the peak hours. They solutions those make a VPP possible include, DERs, energy storage solutions and a control and aggregation solution. A Distributed energy resource management solution enab...

With the addition of smart meters and AMI, the need to provide cybersecurity to the energy and power infrastructure has also increased significantly. The Energy infrastructure is slowly turning from a mere physical infrastructure to a cyber-physical one with the addition of smart devices those are connected by communication networks. These nodes pr...

The battery management system (BMS) market is diverse, with multiple applications that use a large number of battery packs. Rising demand for electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and aerospace and defense equipment powered by batteries make BMS an important component in daily life. BMS has evolved from a mere monitoring unit to an advanced, i...
