This report highlights the importance of sector coupling as a key source of flexibility that cities can explore to stabilise power grid operations when integrating high shares of variable renewable energy sources. It presents a range of sector coupling opportunities available for use in cities, including self-consumption of variable RE sources, the role of thermal […]
Climate mitigation finance strategy to promote higher-efficiency distribution transformers in Zambia
This report investigates efforts to enhance investment in efficient distribution transformers in Zambia, and provides recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of these efforts
This paper underscores the need for sustainable utilities to deliver the energy transition in lower- and middle-income countries, and provides recommendations to governments and other stakeholders.
This report outlines how modern battery energy storage systems can be effectively deployed and alleviate the variability of renewables. It also includes a Power Purchase Agreement template that can serve as a practical tool to bring private sector investments in the power sector.
This report highlights the economic, social and environmental benefits that energy and transport sector-coupling and a transition towards EV- and RE-based, efficient systems can create in small island settings, and provides tools for the planning of such a transition.
This report focuses on how green hydrogen and fuel cell technologies could be initially rolled out in developing countries by presenting a series of applications that could be initially deployed in some locations and later scaled up.
This article explores how the energy system of a region of Denmark will have to develop to accommodate high shares of distributed renewable energy generation.
This report takes stock of the status of electricity grids around the world and examines the upgrades required to physical infrastructure and grid planning to facilitate the energy transition.
This report examines the critical role of modeling for transmission planning for energy transitions.
This plan provides a comprehensive, forward-looking least-cost plan for the development of the country’s power sector, including both on-grid and off-grid.
