This paper assesses using hydrogen as alternative fuel in U.S LDV (light-duty vehicle) transportation system. Firstly, the paper develops the hydrogen network model consisting of multiple production pathways that eventually lead to the FCVs (fuel-cell vehicles) for passenger transportation; such...

This paper presents a generic bulk energy storage dispatch model for production costing simulation, and assesses the performance and economics of storage under various system scenarios. The storage model presented captures the dynamic relationship between the reservoir energy status and the...

This paper focuses on assessing the effectiveness of wind control methods used to address the economic issues associated with higher penetration of variable (wind) generation. Two different wind control methods were implemented, namely maximum power limitation and delta control. Production...

We present a bilevel optimization approach to designing effective and efficient incentive policies for stimulating investment in renewable energy. The effectiveness of an incentive policy is its capability to achieve a goal that would not be achievable without it. Renewable portfolio standards...

A U.S. nation-wide transmission overlay is a high capacity, multi-regional transmission grid, potentially spanning all three interconnections, designed as a single integrated system to provide economic and environmental benefits to the nation. The objective of this paper is to identify benefits...
