This thesis designs and prototypes a modular 3D package with integrated cooling for fast-switching SiC/GaN static converters. By optimizing chip placement and cutting thermal interfaces, it reduces parasitic inductance while boosting volume…

Silva, Caio Cesar Amorim

This work presents a deterministic methodology to calculate the hosting capacity of ultra-fast EV charging stations (~1,000 kW) in distribution networks, using Python and OpenDSS. It quantifies grid impacts from mass charger integration and…

This paper proposes Buoyancy Energy Storage Technology (BEST), storing energy via buoyancy in the deep ocean. Deeper systems store more energy, enabling weekly storage cycles that complement batteries. Estimated costs are 50–100 USD/kWh and…

Villanueva Panocca, Hennry Gonzalo

This study proposes a multi-objective method to optimally place and size battery energy storage (BESS) for ancillary services, individually or stacked, balancing financial, technical and operational criteria. Using the PJM frequency-regulat…

Staudt, Philipp, Rausch, Benjamin, Weinhardt, Christof

A public dataset of German redispatch actions from 2015-2017, capturing generation shutdowns before grid congestion and ramp-ups behind it. It records grid region, reason, direction, mean power (MW), total energy (MWh), requesting TSO, and …

Nguyen, Emma, Olivier, Pierre, Péra, Marie-Cécile +3

This study experimentally evaluates a commercial 55kW PEM electrolyzer under harsh dynamic on/off and fluctuating load conditions, assessing impacts on flexibility, efficiency and durability. Adapted harmonized test protocols reveal quantit…

This study experimentally evaluates a commercial 55kW PEM electrolyzer under harsh dynamic on/off and fluctuating load conditions to assess flexibility, efficiency, and durability impacts. Harmonized test protocols were adapted to quantify …

Santamarta, Juan Carlos, García Gil, A., Expósito Martín, María del Cristo +6

This study examines nine touristic infrastructures in the Canary Islands that transitioned from conventional heating to shallow geothermal energy (SGE) systems. Ultra-low temperature district heating and cooling micro-networks achieved aver…

Huber, Julian, Klempp, Nikolai, Becker, Jens +1

A dataset of 15-minute electricity consumption for 28 German companies in 2014 and 2018, adjusted for daylight saving inconsistencies. Collected by utilities for billing and released via the SINTEG program, it supports energy transition res…

Barnes, AP, Miller, G A, Bowen, J M +8

To meet Scotland's 2045 net-zero target, agricultural emissions must fall 31% below 2018 levels by 2032. This report identifies 86 emerging farm technologies—including enteric methane feed additives, remote sensing, and algae-based single-c…

Taufik, Taufik, Nurwarsito, Heru, Bury, Tyler +1

A MATLAB/Simulink steady-state comparison of hybrid AC/DC versus conventional AC residential electrical systems for net-zero energy homes. Twelve models (120V/60Hz and 230V/50Hz) include PV, battery storage, converters, and line resistance.…

Sadeghibakhtiar, Elaheh, Naeimi, Afshin, Behbahaninia, Ali +1

This study proposes a grid-connected solar-wind hybrid renewable system for a residential building and optimizes its size using a genetic algorithm. Monitoring wind speed, solar irradiance, and electricity demand at 15-minute intervals over…

Enggano Island relies on costly diesel power, limiting supply to 16 hours/day and generating high CO2 emissions. This study optimizes hybrid PV-diesel-battery configurations using net present cost and cost of energy. The optimal setup (1,00…

Kolo, Isa, Brown, Christopher S., Falcone, Gioia +1

This study models repurposing an existing geothermal exploration well (NSCDGB) as a deep borehole heat exchanger (DBHE) using OpenGeoSys. Homogeneous and heterogeneous simulations show a 50-kW heat load can be sustained for 25 years at 922 …

Seungju Choi, Fabrizio Ferri, Daniele Macciocchi

Using a quasi-experiment, the authors test whether mutual fund investors react to purely mechanical changes in ESG ratings. A mechanical rating upgrade raises the probability of selection by ESG funds (extensive margin), but holdings of exi…

A fixed-effects panel study of six CEE EU members (2004–2024) on CO2 emission determinants, extending beyond the 2020 pandemic and 2022 energy crisis. It separates inherited structural emission baselines from policy-driven decarbonization r…

T. Kobashi, G. R. Chandra Mouli, J. Liu +14

This critical review examines the 'SolarEV City' concept, integrating rooftop solar with electric vehicles as urban infrastructure for deep decarbonization. It maps integration gaps across technology, policy, and grid systems and outlines t…

AZERBAIJAN SCIENCE CENTER, Sadagat Ahmadova, Rahiba Abdulhasanova

This paper integrates freight decarbonization with closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) design, an intersection rarely studied together. A review of 412 records (65 studies synthesized) plus Azerbaijani policy documents shows that treating emiss…
