This research paper presents a novel approach for fault-tolerant Wireless Sensor Networks (FT-WSNs) designed for IoT applications. The approach addresses obstacle detection challenges in WSNs to ensure uninterrupted network operation and optimize energy consumption. A hexagonal topology...

Long-term planning tools compute investment in energy technologies to reach techno-economic objectives. These tools are typically used to define decarbonization pathways with the corresponding capacities for several types of technologies. However, for most renewable-based resources that are...

The increasing share of intermittent renewable energy generation amplifies power price volatility, raising the need for storage technologies such as battery energy storage systems (BESS). However, limited transmission infrastructure, particularly constrained grid connections, poses a major...

The ongoing transition of our energy systems implies a rise of distributed generators, batteries, and new consumers, including electric vehicles and heat pumps. Previous studies have found that distributed flexibility may substantially benefit wholesale electricity markets, but have neglected...

Electrification is a primary strategy to achieve carbon neutrality. The expected surge in future electricity demand by battery electric vehicle (BEV) necessitates the reinforcement and construction of transmission and distribution (T&D) network. This study aims to evaluate the spatial...
