  • oil prices and the stock prices of Alternative Energy companies
    Energy Economics, 2008
    Co-Authors: Irene Henriques, Perry Sadorsky
    Abstract:

    Energy security issues coupled with increased concern over the natural environment are driving factors behind oil price movements. While it is widely accepted that rising oil prices are good for the financial performance of Alternative Energy companies, there has been relatively little statistical work done to measure just how sensitive the financial performance of Alternative Energy companies are to changes in oil prices. In this paper, a four variable vector autoregression model is developed and estimated in order to investigate the empirical relationship between Alternative Energy stock prices, technology stock prices, oil prices, and interest rates. Our results show technology stock prices and oil prices each individually Granger cause the stock prices of Alternative Energy companies. Simulation results show that a shock to technology stock prices has a larger impact on Alternative Energy stock prices than does a shock to oil prices. These results should be of use to investors, managers and policy makers.

  • a review of hybrid renewable Alternative Energy systems for electric power generation configurations control and applications
    IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy, 2011
    Co-Authors: M H Nehrir, Caisheng Wang, Kai Strunz, Hirohisa Aki, R Ramakumar, J Bing, Zhixin Miao, Z Salameh
    Abstract:

    This paper, prepared by a special task force of the IEEE PES Renewable Technologies Subcommittee, is a review of hybrid renewable/Alternative Energy (RE/AE) power generation systems focusing on Energy sustainability. It highlights some important issues and challenges in the design and Energy management of hybrid RE/AE systems. System configurations, generation unit sizing, storage needs, and Energy management and control are addressed. Statistics on the current status and future trend of renewable power generation, as well as some critical challenges facing the widespread deployment of RE/AE power generation technologies and vision for future research in this area are also presented. The comprehensive list of references given at the end of the paper should be helpful to researchers working in this area.

  • Alternative Energy distributed generation need for multi source operation
    North American Power Symposium, 2006
    Co-Authors: M H Nehrir, Caisheng Wang, S R Guda
    Abstract:

    Power deregulation, which resulted in restructuring of the power industry, and shortage of transmission line capacities have led to increased interest in the use of distributed generation (DG) sources, mainly at the distribution level near load centers, for support of the utility grid. Moreover, technological advances in renewable (wind, solar) and other Alternative Energy DG (AEDG) sources, e.g. microturbines and fuel cells, coupled with environmental concerns over the use of conventional steam power plants have developed especial interest in their use. However, because of the non-dispatchable nature of renewable Energy and slow nature of some Alternative Energy power generation sources, e.g. fuel cells, multi-source operation of these sources and/or their parallel operation with a storage device is necessary to make their operation more reliable. This paper discusses the need for multi-source operation of AEDGs. It reviews four different AEDG sources - wind, solar photovoltaic (PV), microturbine, and fuel cells - and discusses their multi- source operation for better power management and reliability.

  • A Hybrid Power System Using Alternative Energy Facilities in Isolated Island
    IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion, 2005
    Co-Authors: Tomonobu Senjyu, Toshiaki Nakaji, Katsumi Uezato, T. Toshihisa Funabashi
    Abstract:

    A hybrid power system uses many wind turbine generators in isolated small islands. The output power of wind turbine generators is mostly fluctuating and has an effect on system frequency. In order to solve this problem, we propose a new power system using renewable Energy in small, isolated islands. The system can supply high-quality power using an aqua electrolyzer, fuel cell, renewable Energy, and diesel generator. The generated hydrogen by an aqua electrolyzer is used as fuel for a fuel cell. The simulation results are given to demonstrate the availability of the proposed system in this paper.
