• Publication 16 August 2021 Optimal Wind-Solar Capacity Allocation with Coordination of Dynamic Regulation of Hydropower and Energy Intensive Controllable Load With the increasing penetration of renewable energy, it becomes challenging to smoothen highly fluctuant and intermittent power output only through the conventional thermal units. In this paper, by exploiting the dynamic regulating ability of hydropower and energy intensive controllable load to reduce the power output uncertainties, an optimal wind-solar capacity allocation method is proposed. The power regulation characteristics of hydropower stations based on hydraulic head and energy…

• Publication 16 August 2021 Evolución de la temperatura de mínima mortalidad en Madrid y Sevilla en el periodo 1983-2018 The increase in the frequency and intensity of heat waves is one of the most indisputable effects of climate change. One way of detecting the evolution of the impact of heat is through the increase in the so-called minimum mortality temperature (MMT). The purpose of this study is to determine the temporal evolution of the MMT in two Spanish provinces (Seville and Madrid) during the 1983-2018 period and to evaluate whether the rate of adaptation to heat is appropriate. We used the gross rate of…

• Publication 16 August 2021 Energy and Industrial Policy Failure in the South African Wind Renewable Energy Global Value Chain: The political economy dynamics driving a stuttering localisation process This paper utilises a combination of a political economy approach and a GVC framework to analyse the dynamics of the wind energy value chain in South Africa. The paper focuses on the complex intertwined interplay between energy and industrial policy and shows how they negatively impacted on efforts to increase localisation of domestic manufacturing and services industries. It discusses the opportunities and constraints, success and failures of a localisation process contained arising from the…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Commercial yet social: The practices and logics of bringing mini-grid electricity to rural villages in Kenya Private mini-grid developers, which deliver power to rural communities in developing countries through for-profit business models, represent an alternative organisational model compared to traditional state-led, donor-led or community-driven models of rural electrification. However, as the ‘private model’ covers many different ways of doing business, this paper seeks to broaden our understanding of its complexities. This is done by using insights into organisational hybridity as a defining…

• Publication 16 August 2021 Valorization of bio-residuals in the food and forestry sectors in support of a circular bioeconomy: A review This literature review focuses on valorization of bio-residuals from the brewery, dairy, slaughterhouse and forestry sectors. Bio-residuals are organic wastes, side streams, or residues that remain at the end of the processing of a biological raw material. These under-utilized resources have the potential to support circular bioeconomies, given they can be valorized through viable value chains. To better understand this potential and gain insights in the opportunities for these resources, we…
