Purpose - This study aims to demonstrate a rigorous approach to applying the Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) and Honey's Content Analysis (HCA) to obtain and process qualitative data through structured interviews. Design/methodology/approach - An illustrative case study using the OpenRepGrid...

The Smart Grid Interoperability Laboratory (SGIL) is situated in two sites of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, namely Ispra (Italy) and Petten (The Netherlands). The lab belongsto the Energy Security, Distribution and Markets Unit and the activities vary from energy...

The concept of smart grid (SG) was made real to give the power grid the functions and features it needs to make a smooth transition towards renewable energy integration and sustainability. This was done by automating and digitizing the grid to give it the right amount of flexibility and...

Several geospatial factors influence the suitability of national power grid expansion, especially in remote areas. Since previous studies have neither explicitly examined the level of influence of these factors nor provided a clear spatial representation of their impact, this paper examines how...

Grid integration remains one of the key challenges related to the worldwide expansion of distributed renewable energy systems. This paper presents innovative measures for increasing the hosting capacity of distribution grids with a focus on the medium-voltage grid, based on representative...
