The first journal paper on work I was involved in to quantify the benefits of #OceanEnergy has just been published #OpenAcess in #AppliedEnergy: "A modelling framework to quantify the power system benefits from ocean energy deployments". This modelled increasing proportions of ocean energy within large-scale electricity systems, using an economic dispatch model of hourly supply and demand.

Further good news from the world of #Agrivoltaics:

#AppliedEnergy:

"..putting agriculture under solar installations—is a good way to maximize land use. It also makes the #SolarPanels *last longer*...
Solar panels mounted 4 meters above a #soybean crop were connected to temperature reductions of up to *10* degrees Celsius, the study found, compared to..."

In our recent paper, we investigate short- and medium-term requirements for battery storage in energy systems with high shares of renewable generation. Through the comparison of a decenral and central planning approach, our solutions offer interesting insights in the trade-off between a cost-optimal system and an equitable spatial ressource distribution.
