There is no doubt that the transition towards renewable energies is generating many
changes on different continents, some with greater impacts than others, but the development …

Offshore wind farms (OWFs) play a crucial role in producing renewable energy in modern
electrical power systems. However, to ensure that these facilities operate smoothly, they …

The increasing integration of renewable energy sources with power systems has led to
greater uncertainties, heightening the need for more flexible services. Demand-side …

The power sector is a major contributor to carbon emissions in China, accounting for nearly
half of all emissions, and therefore emission reductions from this sector will be critical, if …

With the increasing complexity and size of capacity expansion models, temporal
aggregation has emerged as a common method to improve computational tractability …

The present need for an energy transition in the wake of a global climate catastrophe led to
the “EU green deal” which requires a transition of the energy system in all countries. This …

In the context of the energy transition, biomass represents a pivotal player for a sustainable
future. This thesis delves into the multifaceted role of biomass, exploring its potential, its final …

The rate at which climate changes today is mostly due to the concentration of anthropogenic
Greenhouse Gases (GHG) in the atmosphere [1]. Therefore, the GHG emissions from human …

Through theoretical, simulation, and experimental work, this thesis investigates the role of
fuel cell micro-cogeneration systems in driving the energy transition. The thesis begins by …

Welcome to the ZEN-garden: ZEN-garden is an open-source optimization software to model
