▼ Remote and diesel-dependent Indigenous communities have attracted increasing attention as opportunities for
energy transitions to more sustainable and economical technologies. Community
energy planning is being increasingly promoted and adopted to enable such transitions, however, there has been limited research exploring this approach outside of the municipal context. This thesis presents a case study in partnership with Eabametoong First Nation that reveals how community
energy planning operates in the context of remote Indigenous communities. Specifically, this research explores both community experiences with community
energy planning, and the institutional landscape in which this process is positioned. Document analysis, semi-structured interviews, community engagement, and participant observation reveal that community
energy planning, as delivered through the institutional landscape, is somewhat aligned with community perspectives, however, further attention to elements such as the geographic, social, and political context of such communities is necessary for this approach to be effective.

▼ In India, there has been an outburst of social enterprises seeking to catalyze rural development and simultaneously address environmental concerns by spreading renewable energy technologies. This thesis compares two such organizations in order to answer two important questions: What effects do the shifts towards the social enterprise and renewable energy technologies have on the projects of development organizations in rural India? What are the implications of these changes on the poorest rural inhabitants? The thesis examines the shared assumptions of both organizations, tracing their origins in dominant development discourses and trends. Then, it explores the ways these assumptions manifest in the projects and development imaginings of each, revealing the gaps they create. An awareness of the limitations of these trends is necessary to avoid negative outcomes and direct development efforts to the poorest.

▼ In the late-1960s, a handful of young, countercultural Americans, inspired by E. F. Schumacher’s concept of “intermediate technology,” founded the Appropriate Technology, or AT, movement in the United States. Although Schumacher’s project focused upon the ways in which technologically sustainable methods could gently and prudently support the modernization of underdeveloped nations, American proponents of AT recognized, in this approach, an opportunity to mitigate the overdevelopment of the Western world. By advocating, promoting, and effecting sustainable techniques from a grassroots to governmental level, practitioners of appropriate technology sought to prevent the further environmental, economic, and social degradation of American communities.
The mission of AT was synergistic: by implementing “appropriate” methods of energy production, building design, transportation, education, health care, and communications, appropriate technologists attempted to create comprehensive change. This disciplinary and conceptual inclusivity encouraged the organization of a diversity of AT proponents into cooperative, multifunctional groups, which acted both from within governmental bureaucracy, in the case of California’s Office of Appropriate Technology and the National Center for Appropriate Technology, and outside the Establishment, in the case of the New Alchemy Institute and RAIN collective. My dissertation centers upon these four groups – in particular, their realized projects, community outreach programs, and numerous publications – emphasizing the ways in which the initial philosophy, politics, and focus of AT evolved as the movement transitioned from a countercultural pipe dream to a widely supported solution for America’s energy problems in the wake of the 1973 Oil Crisis.

▼ Server rooms everywhere face a continuous problem:
energy costs. These costs come from running the servers more often than necessary, including college settings where students’ use of servers for projects can be sparse and lacks continuity. The University of New Hampshire at Manchester (UNH-M) has such a server room with these problems. domotics stood out from the rest when researching possible solutions. domotics is the study of applications of information
technology to create intelligent home environments and can be used to conserve
energy. In this work we thoroughly examine common domotics solutions to determine the best one to apply to a server room setting to save
energy.
We demonstrate a solution that is both cost-conscious as well as simple to implement. This is done by developing a prototype tool based on the X10 protocol that allowed for easy and efficient power management for a series of servers. The result is a significant reduction in
energy waste for the UNH-M server room over the course of a year with a relatively simple installation process. These estimated results are also compared to the overall
energy analysis of the academic building it is housed in. This analysis focused on the monthly usage of
energy, a survey of faculty habits, and finally the impact of the solar panels on the building.

Residential Sector Energy Consumption at the Spotlight: From Data to Knowledge.

▼ Energy consumption is at the core of economic development, but its severe impacts on
resources depletion and climate change have justified a call for its general reduction across all economic activities. Lowering households’
energy demand is a key factor to achieve carbon dioxide emission reductions as it has an important
energy-saving potential. Households in the European Union (EU28) countries have a significant weight (25%) in the total final
energy consumption. However, a wide range of variation is observed within the residential sector from 7.6 to 37.4 GJ per capita/annum, with the lowest consumption indicator observed in Southern EU countries.
Energy consumption in the residential sector is a complex issue, explained by a combination of different factors. To pinpoint how to reduce
energy consumption effectively while deliver
energy services, we need to look not just at
technology, but also to the factors that drive how and in what extent people consume
energy, including the way they interact with
technology (i.e.,
energy efficiency). The main objective of this research is to understand the differences in
energy consumption arising from different socio-demographic, technologic, behavioral and economic characteristics of residential households.
This research brings to the spotlight the needs and benefits of looking deeper into residential sector
energy consumption in a southern European country. Portugal and the municipality of Évora, in particular, were selected as case studies. Residential sector consumption is a moving target, which increase the complexity of adequate policies and instruments that have to address the bottleneck between increase demand for e.g. climatization due to current lack of thermal comfort and to comply with objectives of increased
energy efficiency which ultimately intend to reduce
energy consumption. This calls for different levels of knowledge to feed multiscale policies. This dissertation expands the understanding of
energy consumption patterns at
households, consumers’ role in
energy consumption profiles, indoor thermal comfort, and the levels of satisfaction from
energy services demand. In a country potentially highly impacted by climate change, with low levels of income and significant lower
energy consumption per capita compared to the EU28 average, looking into these issues gains even more importance. The work combines detailed analysis at different spatial (national, city and consumers level) and time scales (hour to annual) taking advantage of diverse methods and datasets including smart meters’ data, door to door surveys and
energy simulation and optimization modelling.
The results identify (i) ten distinct residential sector consumer groups (e.g., under fuel poverty);
(ii) daily and annual consumption patterns (W, U and flat); (iii) major
energy consumption determinants such as the physical characteristics of dwellings, particularly the year of construction and floor area; climatization equipment ownership and use, and occupants’ profiles (mainly number and monthly income).…

A methodology for forecasting impact of demand response on capacity expansion planning.

▼ In parallel to tighter
energy regulations and increasing demand for emissions reduction, the Department of
Energy (DOE) has set a goal to reduce
energy consumption in the building sector to 50% of 2010 levels by 2030. This encourages the use of advanced operational strategies and demand side management concepts to improve
energy efficiency and reduce peak
energy loads. In response to this societal need, many communities such as cities and university campuses are trying to transform their
energy systems into smart and sustainable ones. At the same time, capital planners in these organizations are interested in deferring the need to expand
energy supply capacity, e.g., new chillers for district cooling systems, to avoid incurring those costs until farther in the future. A campus level district
energy system is in the mixed position of an
energy producer and consumer. It consumes the electrical
energy to produce the thermal
energy for multiple buildings within the community. A district
energy plant tends to have the excessive capacity with a redundancy to ensure the system reliability. Advancement in building
energy technologies and communication systems enables the concept of Demand Side Management (DSM) to become a reality. Among the DSM concepts, Demand Response (DR) is now the most established practice for the power system management. The established DR can be utilized by the owner of the district
energy system to alleviate the oversizing problem and defer the capital investment on new chillers if it can replace a redundant chiller. This thesis proposes a methodology to quantitatively evaluate the impact of DR on a district
energy system’s operation and
planning. The proposed methodology utilizes measured data, converts them into actionable information by developing models to capture the interaction between demand and supply sides, and provides an insight into the
planning design space by connecting the
planning optimization and the reliability analysis modules. The methodology consists of seven steps including preparatory steps. Each of steps is developed from research questions seeks for efficient modeling and analysis methods. Data driven cooling demand model discerns the amount of load shed by a specific DR method, and the physics based chiller plant model is approximated as a performance curve for fast assessment of DR. A capacity expansion
planning is formulated as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming problem and following simulation based reliability analysis. The proposed methodology is applied to an example system, which is based on the real system data, to demonstrate the capability. Results show that the proposed method can yield the trade-off space between the capital cost and the reliability of the optimal system expansion plans and discover a hidden trend in the capacity
planning design space. Comparing to the baseline N+1 system, it shows how long the plant expansion can be deferred and how much cost can be saved from the preferred plan.

▼ Distributed Energy Systems (DESs) can provide less carbon-intensive, more resilient and highly efficient alternatives to centralised electricity generation for growing urban populations. Their successful planning depends on the selection of technologies and capacities, which are heavily reliant on an unknown future energy landscape. Furthermore, precinct development, electricity and natural gas price changes, future advances in DESs efficiencies and costs and government interventions can all influence the financial performance of installations. Existing DES optimisation methods typically assess a single year of representative data and yield a single immediate investment solution without capturing or adapting for future shifts in influencing factors. Accordingly, to address the need to include these future changes, this thesis developed a framework that facilitates the selection of optimal DES investment strategies over the lifespan of a project for a range of scenarios at the precinct scale. This approach enables a more representative assessment of DES performance by considering future forecasts as well as providing the additional freedom to defer investment to later during the project life.
Building energy performance simulation software (DOE 2.2) with the addition of available measured data was used in conjunction with a bottom-up archetype approach to determine precinct scale electricity and heat load profiles for an analysis period of up to 20 years. Existing hourly intermittent supply models and long-term representative meteorological years were used to estimate solar photovoltaic (PV) and small-scale wind turbine outputs. When adjoined with a combined heat and power dispatch logic formed the electricity and heat supply model. The objective of the optimisation is to minimise the net present value of costs (NPVC) associated with the supply of heat and electricity to the precinct. Optimisation decision variables pertained to investment capacity and technology for each year of assessment. Solar PV installation capacities were approximated as continuous variables and wind turbine and gas generators consisted of integer variables for type and number of units leading to a total of 80 decision variables for a 20-year assessment period. Review and testing of a variety of optimisation algorithms showed the inability of genetic algorithms (GAs) to converge within a reasonable computer run-time. An iterative hybrid approach was therefore developed where GAs were initially employed due to their ability to handle integers and global search strengths after which particle swarm optimisation (PSO) was implemented to optimise continuous variables and the process repeated.
The scenario analysis approach developed was tested for the Parkville Campus, the primary precinct of The University of Melbourne between 2016 and 2036. Four scenarios were developed, capturing a range of gross floor area (GFA) growth from 11% to 65% based on the Universities strategic plan as well as future electricity and gas prices, DES investment…

▼ The
energy-
planning involves finding a set of sources and conversion devices so as to meet the
energy requirements/demands of all the activities in an optimal manner. This could occur at centralized or decentralized level. The current pattern of commercial
energy oriented development, particularly focused on fossil fuels and centralized electricity, has resulted in inequities, external debt and environmental degradation. The current status is largely a result of adoption of centralized
energy planning (CEP), which ignores the
energy needs of rural areas and the poor and has further contributed to environmental degradation due to fossil fuel consumption and forest degradation. CEP does not pay attention to the variations in socio-economic and ecological factors of a region, which influence success of any intervention. Decentralized
energy planning (DEP) provides an opportunity to address the
energy needs of poor as well as promote efficient utilization of resources. The DEP mechanism takes into account various available resources and demands in a region.
DEP, in the Indian context, could be at several scales namely district, block, panchayats (cluster of villages) and village level.
Energy planning at the village level is the lowest level of the application of decentralized
planning principle. A village constitutes a cluster of households with distinct geographic boundary consisting of settlement, agricultural land, water bodies and any other land category, in most parts of India. Further, the village level plans must be prepared within the limits set by a panchayat, a block or a district level plans, for the sum total of various village plans must correspond to a panchayat (local council), block (or taluka), or district level plan. A panchayat is the lowest administrative unit consisting of a cluster of villages and an elected body to administer developmental activities. A block (or taluka) consists of a cluster of panchayats and a district consists of a cluster of blocks.
The main hypothesis for this study is that centralized
energy planning has lead to excessive dependence on fossil fuels and import of petroleum, leading to concerns on environment and
energy security and finally neglect of the
energy needs of the rural communities and poor in particular. DEP could meet the local
energy needs particularly in rural areas, protect environment and promote a self reliant and sustainable
energy path.
In this study, methodology for adopting
energy planning from grassroot or village to district level is explored. The study adopts and compares the DEP approach of moving from village (Ungra), to panchayat (Yedavani), to block (Kunigal) and finally to district (Tumkur) level.
Aims and objectives of research
. • To review
energy planning approaches adopted in India
. • To evaluate models and methods for DEP at different scales; Village, Panchayat, District and State levels
. • To develop a sustainable and decentralized
energy planning approach
. • To analyze the sustainable decentralized
planning approach using…

▼ Global warming is one of the most significant problems facing humanity, and reducing emissions from the electricity sector is critical for mitigating global warming impacts. My work here focuses on developing computational tools to plan cost effective mitigation pathways for the electricity sector and using them collaboratively. The complexity and scale of globally transitioning electrical power grids away from fossil fuels over the coming decades will require a large-scale collaborative effort with effective coordination of many actors trained in diverse disciplines. Historically, energy-modeling efforts have tended to be siloed and fragmented between and even within research groups. In my research I have attempted to provide an alternative to that status quo by improving an open source renewable planning model, Switch, increasing its usability and accessibility to interdisciplinary researchers, and collaboratively applying it to mitigation planning.We used the Switch model to conduct detailed research into cost effective mitigation pathways for the Western portion of North America, or the WECC power grid. We found that renewable portfolio standards were insufficient to meet climate stabilization goals, and more targeted policies were needed that specifically focused on emission reductions. We identified investment plans that could lead to dramatic decreases in emissions without significantly increasing electricity costs over the next twenty years by retiring coal and replacing it with natural gas and renewables while evolving the grid to better accommodate variable renewable energy.We found that meeting overall 2050 targets will require concerted action on many fronts, including aggressive efficiency programs, electrification of transportation and heating, and dramatically reducing emissions from the electricity sector. Meeting 2050 emission goals without significantly increasing energy costs also will require additional technological innovation. Two promising technological pathways for long-term cost containment are developing low cost solar in conjunction with low cost storage or demand response, and developing Biomass Energy with Carbon Capture and Sequestration (BECCS) to provide emission offsets during the last stages of emission reductions. We found that the emissions offsets provided by BECCS were much more valuable than the energy, suggesting that other sequestration options such as improved land management that increases soil carbon deposition could be a particularly valuable part of an economy-wide portfolio.We started this research in the early days of the natural gas boom caused by widespread use of hydraulic fracturing. As data emerged on potentially high methane leakage rates in the natural gas supply chain, we investigated how leakage impacts roles Natural Gas (NG) can play in a low emission power grid. We found that leakage rates significantly reduce the use of NG as a direct substitute for coal, but have a smaller impact on the use of combustion turbines for reserves and peaking capacity. Higher…

▼ In the U.S., high-speed passenger rail has recently
become an active political topic, with multiple corridors currently
being considered through federal and state level initiatives. One
frequently cited benefit of high-speed rail proposals is that they
offer a transition to a more sustainable transportation system with
reduced greenhouse gas emissions and fossil energy consumption.
This study investigates the feasibility of high-speed rail
development as a long-term greenhouse gas emission mitigation
strategy while considering major uncertainties in the technological
and operational characteristics of intercity travel. First, I
develop a general model for evaluating the emissions impact of
intercity travel modes. This model incorporates aspects of
life-cycle assessment and technological forecasting. The model is
then used to compare future scenarios of energy and greenhouse gas
emissions associated with the development of high-speed rail and
other intercity travel technologies. Three specific rail corridors
are evaluated and policy guidelines are developed regarding the
emissions impacts of these investments. The results suggest
prioritizing high-speed rail investments on short, dense corridors
with fewer stops. Likewise, less emphasis should be placed on
larger investments that require long construction times due to
risks associated with payback of embedded emissions as competing
technology improves.

▼ Wind turbine and photovoltaic (PV) technologies will play a significant role in the world energy future. However, a lack of awareness of the potential of renewables is a significant challenge in sustainable energy development. The potential of solar and wind energy sources in producing electricity to meet the electrical demands of the University of Lethbridge was evaluated. Furthermore, expanding the research to a large area, a multi-criteria approach based on geographic information systems (GIS) and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) was developed to estimate rooftop photovoltaic potential of buildings in an urban environment, the City of Lethbridge. The unreliability of renewable resources is an impediment to developing renewable projects. An optimal sizing strategy was developed using a particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to determine the optimum configuration of photovoltaic panels, wind turbines and battery units minimizing the annual system cost while maximizing the reliability of the hybrid system.

▼ Energy use and production have become highly salient within both national and international policy. This reflects an international recognition of the need to cut emissions in order to mitigate the threats of climate change. Within the UK there is significant policy support for renewable energy development generally, and wind power in particular. Nevertheless, the UK is not expected to meet its targets for renewable energy production. This is often portrayed as being the result of localised public opposition to particular proposed developments. However, this thesis challenges the notion that local objectors are powerful actors within renewable energy deployment. A detailed, multi-method case study of one planning application for a wind power development was conducted in order to explore how the planning process is experienced and perceived by various different actors involved (i.e. representatives of the developers, local objectors, local supporters). The findings refute the assertion that localised opposition presents significant obstacles for the development of renewable energy; they instead highlight the limited influence of objectors. In order to understand the many different forms of power which may be exercised the research employs Lukes’ three-dimensional view of power as a framework of how the concept is to be understood. Through this framework, the thesis does not only consider the power of objectors, but also of prospective developers and the forms of power that are found within the structures of the planning system. Power is considered to be visible not only in the outcomes of decision-making processes but also in the processes themselves. It is shown that whilst planning processes are presented as being public and democratic, considerable power is exercised in controlling the participation that is allowed and ultimately the range of outcomes which can be achieved.

▼ This thesis presents an approach to planning long
distance soaring trajectories which exploit atmospheric energy to
enable long distance, long duration flights by small and micro
unmanned aerial vehicles. It introduces the energy map, which
computes the minimum total energy required to reach the goal from
an arbitrary starting point while accounting for the effect of
arbitrary wind fields. The energy map provides the path to the goal
as a sequence of way points, the optimal speeds to fly for each
segment between way points and the heading required to fly along a
segment. Since the energy map is based on the minimum total energy
required to reach the goal it immediately answers the question of
existence of a feasible solution for a particular starting point
and initial total energy. The results obtained from energy map are
compared with other generic trajectory planners, namely A*. The A*
algorithm used uses a cost function which is the weighted sum of
energy required and remaining distance to goal. The effect of
varying the weight parameter on the flight paths is examined. The
energy expended along a path for varying weight is examined, and
the results are compared with a wavefront expansion planning
algorithm. The weight is selected based on maximum energy
utilization that is available from the atmosphere and minimizing
time to reach the goal. Optimal weight is selected based on
simulation results. Both the methods of path planning are now used
in real wind field data. Energy efficient routes are found in the
real wind field using both the methods.

▼ Geographic information systems (GIS) are increasingly being used in energy planning and by private sector practitioners. Through qualitative interviews with 49 leading practitioners in the public and private sector, this thesis establishes the data of most importance, current open access data sources for energy access along with the information currently lacking from open data sources. The interviews revealed grid infrastructure, population density, renewable power potential and energy expenditure to be the most sought after data for both practitioners’ groups. However, it was evident that the private sector had a stronger focus on land, water resource and climate data determining the renewable power potential for a specific area of interest, while the public sector focused on socioeconomic indicators and energy expenditure. A following data aggregation and analysis of the most desired datasets showed that a majority of the needed datasets were available with the exception of energy expenditure. A least-cost option electrification model developed by KTH-dESA has proven to be a powerful tool in assessing the cost of nationwide electrification. This thesis compares the average least-cost option electrification cost for each region in Tanzania with a projected average income. The comparison showed that the average household cost for least-cost option electrification as a share of projected household income varies between regions. The average share per household in the western regions of Tanzania were significantly higher compared to households in the central and eastern regions. The comparison was combined with the geographical location of donor-supported energy development projects showing that majority of the projects were located in the central parts of Tanzania and not targeting the most vulnerable households in regions furthest away from the national grid. In order to successfully introduce electricity nationwide in Tanzania, more support needs to be provided to the poorest regions. Open data aggregation and coordination are the key to expand the support from GIS for energy access. Even though multiple data sources have been identified, they are scattered and leads to data being collected again. Coordinated efforts aimed to provide means to share aggregated updated and freely accessible data can help reduce high transaction costs, helping to alleviate energy poverty.

▼ This thesis presents an indicator based assessment that seeks to determine how residential solar photovoltaic (PV) systems contributed to sustainability goals and how feasible emission reduction was through residential solar photovoltaic systems in the Las Vegas-Paradise Metropolitan Statistical Area. Southern Nevada is a rapidly growing southwestern US region that has high potential for renewable, non-combustible, energy technology, in specific, rooftop solar. The four LVPMSA cities released sustainability and/or sustainable development plans with goals directly, or indirectly, relating to solar energy. A triple bottom line framework, using ten energy-based indicators, helped to analyze how equitable, viable, and livable residential solar was in the LVPMSA to meet sustainability goals. Indicators and emission reduction calculators were also used to determine how much and how feasible emission reduction in the LVPMSA through residential solar. Data were provided through The Open PV Project (a voluntary cooperative solar website), the US Census Bureau, and the Clark County Department of Air Quality. In respect to the literature, the results reflect that rooftop solar in LVPMSA cities to meet sustainability goals is not equitable, and weakly viable and livable, based on measures from economic, environmental, and social indicators, but how equitable, viable, and livable each LVPMSA city varies. In order from greatest to least, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Las Vegas and then Boulder City best contribute to sustainability goals with rooftop solar. Rooftop solar also serves as a feasible means to reduce emissions on a smaller (residential) scale, but not on a larger city or county scale. Larger scale projects, versus smaller scale rooftop solar, should be considered as a stronger means to both significantly reduce emissions and contribute to sustainability goals.

▼ The current and future energy situations in Canada are put into perspective, and the importance of nuclear energy and controversies surrounding it are investigated. More specifically, to demonstrate the important role nuclear energy has to play in Canada's future, a novel energy modeling tool, Canadian Energy Systems Simulator (CanESS), is employed. CanESS is a modeling platform with a huge database that assists an analyst in defining different energy scenarios by modifying the variables such as population and contributions of different energy sources to the overall production. The CanESS results clearly show that expansion of nuclear energy production is required to meet energy demand and simultaneously reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
To formally study strategic issues connected to the ongoing conflict over nuclear power production in Ontario, the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) is utilized. This flexible systems methodology is used to study the nuclear disputes that existed in Ontario at two key points in time: the fall of 2008 and spring of 2010. The results of the 2008 analysis, especially the sensitivity analyses, show that the only decision makers (DMs) involved in the conflict who hold real power are the Federal and Ontario governments, although at the beginning of the investigation the Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (AECL) and the environmental groups had also been considered as participating DMs. The findings and information of the analysis in 2008, as well as an updated background for 2010, are used to perform another analysis in 2010. Meanwhile, their options or possible courses of action have also been changed. Again, at this stage the stable states of the game are found, and attitude analysis is carried out to obtain deeper insights about the dispute. The equilibria or potential resolutions of the 2008 analysis are found to be the transition states in the 2010 analysis. Specifically, it is discovered that if the Federal Government does have a negative attitude towards the Ontario Government, it is possible that the final outcome is a state that is among the least preferred states for both DMs.

(AECL) and the environmental groups had also been considered as participating DMs. The findings and information of the analysis in 2008, as well as an updated background for 2010, are used to perform another analysis in 2010. According to the results of the 2008 analysis, only the two…

▼ Renewable energy, especially wind, photovoltaic technologies and battery energy storage (BES) have become emerging technologies over recent years with the increasing prevalence of the smart grid. Recently, the penetration level of renewable energy has become an area of focus motivated by growing environmental and economic concerns. Integrating renewable energy resources offers various advantages in reducing carbon dioxide emission, increasing energy efficiency and enhancing system flexibility and reliability. At the same time, the stochastic nature of renewable energy also challenges the grid in aspects of system scheduling and planning. In order to effectively accommodate various renewable energy technologies and storage systems into the smart grid, it is vital for system operators, and utility owners to find appropriate strategies for power system operation and planning.
Aiming to address the main issues arising from renewable energy integration, this research explores study areas that focus on operation and planning for better integration of emerging renewable energy resource technologies. Specifically, for the planning aspect, this thesis addresses how to optimally allocate an Energy Storage System (ESS) in distribution networks; for the operational aspect, this thesis discusses how to optimally dispatch wind power in a transmission system, respectively.
In the area of long-term ESS expansion planning in active distribution networks (ADN), this thesis developed some methods for battery energy storage system (BESS) allocation with abundant renewable energy resources. ESSs are commonly applied to cooperate with renewable power generation to manage uncertainty and randomness, especially in distribution networks. Particularly, a chance constrained programming based planning framework was presented to determine the appropriate planning solution for battery units to reduce wind power curtailment. The trade-off between total cost, and wind power utilization level was analysed under different confidence levels. Furthermore, to study the potential voltage regulation effects of BESS in ADN with sufficient renewable energy resources, a stochastic BESS allocation scheme was developed which took conservation voltage reduction effects into consideration. Also, the stochastic factor of load composition is simulated using scenario analysis.
Moreover, in order to fully analyse the role that BES units play in voltage regulation, a novel methodology was established to address voltage rise issues. The sparse theory is incorporated in the problem formulation. This model aims to build a fully distributed control scheme for voltage regulation in ADN using dispersed BES units.
In the area of short-term operation, a stochastic optimal dispatch model of a power system considering interactions of multiple wind farm outputs was established at first. The fat-tail relevance among multiple wind farm output power was simulated utilizing the Gumbel-copula function. A chance constraints embedded stochastic optimal dispatch was then proposed…

▼ Energy is among the main driving forces needed for
sustainable development. Provision of energy services, from the
supply side to transmission/distribution and use, must include
management, and good management requires tools. Energy planning is
a tool for managing the community energy system through assessing
and balancing supply and demand. This thesis explains an approach
to energy planning which increases the capacity for managing and
developing the community energy system in a more sustainable
manner. Explaining the logic of planological integration in
planning theory, the author describes how this logic can be applied
to existing energy planning methods. These methods could be
modified in such a way that fulfillment of sustainability
objectives can be integrated into the planning process. Energy
planning has been and is still used for managing the Swedish energy
system at both national and local level. Since 1977, Swedish
municipalities have been legally required to have a document called
“Energy Plan” decided upon by the local government. Over 30 years
of municipal energy planning and its effectiveness in promoting the
local energy system is studied in this thesis. The main objective
is to investigate to what extent existing energy planning methods
can address energy-related sustainability objectives. A pilot
project is carried out to examine whether proxy variables can be
used to measure and monitor sustainability dimensions of local
energy systems. It is observed that existing energy planning praxis
is less suitable in addressing sustainability objectives. The main
reason for the shortcomings of existing energy planning methods is
that they typically have a narrow focus on local energy systems
such as input-output (supply-demand) systems, which makes them
inefficient as regards the transition toward sustainable energy
systems. Other reasons identified include weaknesses in the
relevant legal planning framework (the Municipal Energy Planning
Act), problems caused by the deregulation of electricity markets,
and a lack of financial resources for energy planning. Results from
the pilot project indicate that properly defined energy indicators
(such as energy use per capita, transport energy intensity, solid
waste to energy) can be useful in monitoring the sustainability of
local energy systems. It is observed that such energy indicators
can also be useful in developing local energy systems through
knowledge exchange and learning processes.

▼ This thesis applies concepts and techniques in geography in order to contribute to our understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with the transition toward renewable energy. The work is best understood as the sum of two parts. In the first part, the methodological and philosophical underpinnings of the field of energy geography are explored in order to situate the research in the broader constellation of geographical practices surrounding energy. I make the case that energy transitions are not merely shifts in energy supply but are also simultaneously fundamental shifts in prevailing spatial relations, so that energy transition management is best conceived as a spatial strategy with emphasis on regional level land-energy planning. In the second part of the thesis, I aim to provide decision support in favour of this spatial strategy. This begins in Chapter 4 with a comprehensive critical review of how GIScience and remote sensing has been applied in RE assessments and spatial planning. The next three chapters engage key gaps in this literature and are the analytical contributions of the thesis. The focus of the research is on biomass and solar energy in (eastern) Ontario. In Chapter 5 I develop geographically explicit supply-cost curves for forestry and agricultural biomass and assess the relative merits of a mixed biomass feedstock stream. In Chapter 6 I recognize and address the issue that developers of dedicated bioenergy crops and ground-mount solar PV systems prefer the same type of land. Land-energy trade-offs are modeled and their implications in the context of incentivizing RE development are discussed. In Chapter 7 I explore ways in which targeted facility siting can capture ancillary benefits related to RE production. I argue that focusing on the benefits as well as the costs of system siting is critical to linking developer and public interests. Ontario’s feed-in tariff program is evaluated in the light of this claim. Chapter 8 concludes with a summary of key findings and describes the ways in which this thesis can be used as a platform upon which a broader research program can be raised.

▼ The built environment is responsible for a large portion of total
energy use and emissions. A large portion comes from the buildings themselves, but also the transportation system to move people around. As global populations grow, and more people migrate to cities, it is critically important that new city growth is done in the most sustainable manner possible. The typical North American pattern of urban growth is urban sprawl, characterized by single use type zoning, low density, transportation system dominated by personal vehicles, and poor public transit. Urban sprawl has numerous downsides, including poorer
energy efficiency in buildings and infrastructure, more congestion and higher emission from vehicles, as well as many negative health effects.
This thesis presents the concept of a Mothership, a large, high-density mixed-use building designed to combat urban sprawl and minimize
energy use and emissions of the built environment. A mothership is designed to provide all the amenities and housing of a typical suburb for 10,000 people. The analysis in this thesis employ building simulation tools to model various mothership designs and analyse the operational and embodied
energy and carbon emissions for each design, and compare it to base cases of more traditional building use types such as single detached homes, and different types of apartment buildings. The effect of high-performance building envelopes and other building materials on operational and embodied
energy and emissions are analysed. A multi objective optimization analysis is performed to determine which technologies and combinations of technologies provide the lowest cost solution to meet the mothership’s
energy demands while also minimizing emissions.
The mothership’s effect on transportation emissions is also investigated. The building’s mixed-use nature allows trips to be satisfied within walking distance in the building. The high concentration of people makes for a good anchor load for public transportation, so the emissions reductions of implementing a bus rapid transit system from the mothership to the central business district is estimated. To reduce transportation emissions further, the effect of an electric car share fleet for mothership residents use is also quantified.
The
energy system of a mothership is optimized, along with base cases of single detached homes, under numerous scenarios. These scenarios are designed to explore how the
energy system changes in an attempt to answer a series of research questions. Some of the measures explored are a high carbon tax, net metering, and emissions limits of net zero, and negative emissions with two different electrical grid carbon intensities.
Results showed that a highly insulated, timber framed mothership can achieve very high reductions in
energy use and emissions. Overall it showed reductions of 71%, 73%, and 74% in operational
energy, embodied
energy and embodied carbon respectively, over a baseline case of single detached homes. It was estimated that transportation emissions could be…

▼ Given our rapidly changing society, the complexity of residential energy often hinders the efficacy of energy conservation policies designed to address our current social and environmental problems. Therefore, understanding this complexity appears to be essential to successfully building and efficiently implementing energy policies. The present dissertation attempts to advance our understanding of the dynamics and complexity of residential energy consumption by investigating various determinants and contextual factors through the three interrelated pieces of applied research. Using American Housing Survey (AHS) data, the first study investigates the dynamics of residential energy consumption at the micro level. It is found that the electricity consumption of households who have moved into new homes is generally lower than average, and their consumption is found to increase as the period of residence increases. The second study examines the relationship between the choice of energy-efficient systems and inter-agent dynamics. By employing a logistic regression model with two national datasets, the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) and the American Community Survey Public Use Microdata Sample (ACS PUMS), the empirical analysis reveals statistically significant differences in the installation of solar energy systems among households with different degrees of two major inter-agent issues—split incentives and split decision-making problems. The last study focuses on the complexity of residential energy consumption relevant to the surrounding environments, and it pays special attention to seasonality. Based on city-wide data from Chicago and using a special econometric model, the empirical analysis reveals the seasonal dynamics between urban forms and residential energy consumption. Through these three empirical studies, this dissertation explores the dynamics of residential energy consumption in various dimensions and reveals the complicated mechanisms that determine residents’ choices with respect to energy consumption. The evidence from this study is especially important because it reinforces the conclusion that there is no panacea when addressing energy issues. This study suggests that policy-makers and planners should instead thoroughly understand a wide range of contextual factors and their influences in order to develop more effective, context-specific energy policies that best fit each distinct geographical and socio-economic situation.

▼ Improvements in embedded electronics which have effectively reduced power consumption requirements as well as advancements in IC technology allowing utilization of low power inputs have made Energy Harvesting a popular power solution for low power applications such as WSNs. In many implementation areas, we can see solar, thermal, and vibration energy harvesting techniques have taken the role of batteries as power source. Now that Energy Harvesting is a popular and considerably mature technology, with proper design and installation, any object exposing energy has the ability to be promoted as a power source. We are currently living in Internet age where we connect to the world through network packets. Ethernet, by far, is the most popular LAN technology which allows us to plug and play. Therefore, on an Ethernet link, billions of packets where our data are encapsulated in are traversing every hour. We assume each of these packets exposes some level of energy on an Ethernet link. The challenge here is harvesting the energy available from Ethernet packets and transforming it into useful energy so that it can be used to power devices such as WSNs. In this thesis work, we have revealed how much energy is available from Ethernet packets, and how much of it can be made usable. We have also designed a system where a WSN is generating all of its operating power solely from Ethernet packets and consuming this energy in communication with a base station.

▼ In the context of the New Zealand
Energy Strategy-target of 90% electricity generation from renewable
energy by the year 2025, this dissertation analyses if the generally accepted statement that socio-economic factors and in particular
planning procedures and public acceptance of individual schemes are a major limitation for the development of renewable
energy projects, also applies in New Zealand. Moreover, it is analysed if a relocation of renewable power generation to the coastal and marine environment, in particular in form of offshore wind farms, could circumvent this obstacle.
Therefore New Zealand’s spatial
planning framework on land and in the marine environment is analysed using parts of the comparative policy analysis. Furthermore, the consent processes and the public perceptions via submissions of three different case studies, two wind farms on
land and a tidal power generation scheme in the marine environment are examined with a
framework which is partly based on Devine-Wright (2005) and Graham et al (2009).
It is ascertained that the resource consent process on land can be an obstacle in the realisation of new wind farms, mainly due to time and cost consuming procedures and strong public opposition.
The relocation of projects into the marine environment does not circumvent of facilitate
the consenting process, but potentially reduces public opposition if appropriate locations are chosen and their allocation is strategically provided for in the spatial
planning framework. This however requires changes to the existing
planning system of New Zealand’s marine environment

▼ Both my Architecture (M.Arch) and
Planning (MUP) theses work around the rubric of the Architecture 2030 Challenge and the efforts of the Seattle 2030 District to meet it (2030DC - see http://www.2030district.org/seattle/ ). In taking up this challenge, the City of Seattle and the 2030DC have teamed up with major property owners, property managers, developers, architects and the Integrated Design Lab at UW to target and benchmark existing opportunities in Seattle's commercial building stock for potential deep retrofits and redesign. The goal of both theses is to provide the 2030DC with tools and intelligence that will assist in targeting its program and outreach efforts. Both the M.Arch thesis and MUP theses examine the behavior of commercial property owners - and their propensity to either retrofit their buildings for
energy efficiency or raze them in favor of redevelopment. To determine this, in the M.Arch thesis I developed a scoring system that utilizes various algorithms to process publicly available data combined with other data developed locally to derive a score that permits an apples-to-apples comparison of that propensity. The M.Arch thesis reviews these conditions at the building level; cites several case studies, and presents in-depth analysis of a selected commercial building in the Pike-Pine corridor, serving as an example of a "typical" Seattle property. The MUP thesis scales the building owner propensity up to the neighborhood and district levels, and investigates the potential impact of development in Major Institutional Overlay (MIO) districts upon properties immediately adjacent to those districts. It applies the scoring system developed in the M.Arch thesis to demonstrate a correlation between proximity to an MIO district and the presence of predictive indicators of redevelopment. Thus, the scoring system can be used to indicate the likelihood of redevelopment in districts adjacent to an MIO district. The MUP thesis concludes with suggested policy changes to MIO districts to reduce the abrupt spatial transitions that are currently evident.

▼ The aim of this thesis is to develop an innovative theoretical understanding of technological innovation as a social phenomenon and to demonstrate the results of its application to the sector of UK's marine energy technology. Via a creative analysis and critique of various theoretical approaches to technology, I identify several key elements of a theory capable of understanding technological change, which I then develop based on the critical juxtaposition of the approaches of Pierre Bourdieu and Cornelius Castoriadis. Technological innovation is understood as the ultimate outcome of the relations of cooperation and competition formed by radically creative agents, capable of ex-nihilo creation, who participate in private and public institutions of a quasi-regulated technological field. After arguing in favour of applying a primarily subjectivist epistemology with objectivist elements, I present a research methodology based on semi-structured interviews. The results of the data analysis highlight several key features of technological change as it takes place within the technological field of UK's marine energy technology. Firstly, I present the ways the technological field influences the agents therein and helps them develop their craft. Secondly, I explore how the agents of the field use their craft as they create ex-nihilo. Thirdly I show the interactions between the technological field and other social institutions/spaces such as the economic sector and the general public. Subsequently, I analyse the internal organization of the technological field and its impact upon the trajectories that technological innovation follows therein. Finally, I make the first tentative steps towards developing policy advice for the sector. I conclude that, as long as policy makers manage to develop a precise understanding of the technological field of marine energy technology, then they actually can design policy capable of positioning the technological innovations therein within a preferred path.

▼ Net Zero
energy is a topic that is trending in the construction industry. A sector of this Net Zero movement garnering attention is K 12 public school construction. Compared to other buildings, schools can achieve Net Zero
Energy status more readily. Few governments have established initiatives to incorporate and implement Net Zero strategies in school design and construction. There are already 20 Net Zero schools in the US and the number is increasing rapidly. The state of Florida has many
energy efficient schools but a Net Zero
energy school has not been achieved in this part of the country.

▼ Les nouvelles avancées théoriques et technologiques basées sur les nanotechnologies ont permis de remettre au goût du jour la récupération d'énergie utilisant la thermoélectricité. Dans le cas de dispositifs en couches minces, des applications telles que la micro-génération de puissance ainsi que le refroidissement localisé de composants microélectroniques peuvent être envisagées. Des dispositifs en couches minces à base de SiGe présentent l'avantage d'une grande intégrabilité grâce aux technologies issues de l'industrie microélectronique ainsi qu'une faible toxicité comparée aux matériaux classiques utilisés à base de Bi et Te. L'utilisation industrielle de ces matériaux est freinée par les faibles rendements obtenus à des basses températures. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, l'inclusion de nano particules à base de siliciures de Ti et Mo dans des couches minces de SiGe sous forme de super-réseau de boîtes quantiques (SRBQ) a été choisie comme méthode pour augmenter les performances thermoélectriques de ce matériau. Pour cela, un bâtie industriel de type CVD a été modifié et adapté à l'utilisation de précurseurs liquides et solides. Différents SRBQ ont été produits, en variant le type de dopage, la cristallinité et la nature des nano-inclusions utilisées. Les propriétés thermoélectriques de ces matériaux ont été mesurées et l'augmentation des performances de ces matériaux a été démontrée grâce aux inclusions nanométriques.
The recent theoretical and technological advances based on nanotechnology have provided new interest on energy harvesting based on thermoelectricity. For thin film devices, applications such as micro powering and local cooling for microelectronic components can be expected. SiGe-based devices have the advantage of integration possibility thanks to microelectronics technologies and of the low toxicity of SiGe compared to materials tradionally employed for thermoelectric devices such as Bi and Te. SiGe-based devices have not yet been employed in large scale mostly due to its low efficiency at room temperature. In this thesis, the production of quantum dot superlattices (QDSL) based on the inclusion of Ti and Mo silicides quantum dots in a SiGe matrix was chosen as a method to improve the material's thermoelectric properties. In order to accomplish this, an industrial CVD tool was modified to allow the employ of solid and liquid precursors. Different QDSL were produced, with different dopants, crystallinity and inclusions. The thermoelectric properties of the obtained materials were measured and the improvement of the material's thermoelectric performance after the inclusion of nanometric particles was demonstrated.

▼ We study the feasibility of a novel hybrid solar-wind
hybrid system that shares most of its infrastructure and
components. During periods of clear sunny days the system will
generate electricity from the sun using a parabolic concentrator.
The concentrator is formed by individual mirror elements and
focuses the light onto high intensity vertical multi-junction (VMJ)
cells. During periods of high wind speeds and at night, the same
concentrator setup will be reconfigured to channel the wind into a
wind turbine which will be used to harness wind
energy. In this
study we report on the feasibility of this type of solar/wind
hybrid
energy system. The key mechanisms; optics, cooling mechanism
of VMJ cells and air flow through the system were investigated
using simulation tools. The results from these simulations, along
with a simple economic analysis giving the levelized cost of
energy
for such a system are presented. An iterative method of design
refinement based on the simulation results was used to work towards
a prototype design. T he levelized cost of the system achieved in
the economic analysis shows the system to be a good alternative for
a grid isolated site and could be used as a standalone system in
regions of lower demand. The new approach to solar wind hybrid
system reported herein will pave way for newer generation of hybrid
systems that share common infrastructure in addition to the storage
and distribution of
energy.
