A review of energy Storage financing—Learning from and partnering with the renewable energy Industry
Journal of energy storage, 2018Co-Authors: Lindsay Miller, Rupp CarriveauAbstract:Abstract The energy Storage Industry has made great progress in developing technology, standards, and market policies and is poised to offer solutions to rapidly changing energy markets. Currently, energy Storage as a solution is more inhibited by project financing than by the technology itself. High capital costs and a lack of financing options and incentives make it difficult for large scale energy Storage to be realized. These same challenges were faced by the renewable energy sector a decade ago and have since been largely overcome through a decrease in costs and in perceived risk, innovative financing mechanisms, incentives and subsidies, and renewable portfolio standards. However, it will not be as simple as transposing the incentives and mechanisms that worked for renewables to the energy Storage Industry. This research will evaluate which elements and mechanisms of renewable energy financing can be applied or adapted to fit the energy Storage Industry and which cannot. As renewable energy makes up more of the supply mix, the need for Storage will be greater. Most states and provinces are planning for increased renewables, however, without also providing adequate incentives for Storage, there will likely be disconnects between long-term planning and market designs. As technologies matures, prices are likely to decrease, however, as has been seen in the renewable Industry, market rules and regulations can have strong influence on whether energy Storage is economically feasible. New project finance models and a favourable regulatory environment will be key to transforming and unlocking the energy Storage market. Innovative financing mechanisms such as corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs), hybrid bonds, co-operatives, and flip-models have played a pivotal role in financing the development of renewable energy projects. Some elements of these mechanisms can apply to energy Storage as well however, energy Storage PPAs will be more complex than renewable energy PPAs due to the multifunctional capability of an energy Storage facility. Energy Storage developers can look to renewable energy as a guide for how nascent technologies can compete against established energy technologies in the market. The Industry is in need of case studies, not to showcase that the technologies perform, but to demonstrate different mechanisms that projects can implement to achieve successful commercialization.

Spin-Torque Oscillator Read Head in Inhomogeneous Magnetic Fields
IEEE Transactions on Magnetics, 2017Co-Authors: Jakub Checinski, Marek Frankowski, Tomasz StobieckiAbstract:© 2016 IEEE. Spin-torque oscillators (STOs) are candidates for a novel class of magnetic field sensors, suitable especially for magnetic media read head purposes. While a number of investigations on the STO readout ability have been reported, comparatively little attention has been paid to the issue of its behaviour in highly inhomogeneous magnetic fields i.e. generated by densely stored magnetic media. We examine the theoretical limits for the STO technology usage for sensor applications, using both a general auto-oscillator model and micromagnetic simulations framework. We find that the deterioration of the output signal may lead to significant readout errors already for the bit width of a few nanometers, which is close to the current state of the art in the data Storage Industry.

development of energy Storage Industry in china a technical and economic point of review
Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2015Co-Authors: Yun Li, Yanbin Li, Pengfei Ji, Jing YangAbstract:With the global attention and continuous investment in the field of clean energy and carbon emission reduction, the renewable energy occupies an increasingly large proportion in the power system. China, as the world׳s fastest developing country, the development of renewable energy becomes an inevitable path in the context of low-carbon economy. However, due to the intermittent and stochastic property of renewable energy, the renewable energy system cannot be widely used without the configuration of energy Storage system. The aforementioned requirement precipitates the industrial application of energy Storage technology becomes increasingly urgent. However, according to the present status of energy Storage Industry in China, there are enormous difficulties to be overcome promptly. In this work, the development status of China׳s energy Storage Industry is analyzed from the perspectives of technology, application and policy, by referring to a large number of statistical literatures. Subsequently, the existing problems are categorized in terms of technology, cost, promotion, policy mechanisms. In the end, suggestions to solve the above problems are put forward, aiming at facilitating the rapid development of energy Storage Industry in China.

systems thinking applied to safety during manual handling tasks in the transport and Storage Industry
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2014Co-Authors: Natassia Goode, Paul M Salmon, Michael G Lenne, Peter John HillardAbstract:Injuries resulting from manual handling tasks represent an on-going problem for the transport and Storage Industry. This article describes an application of a systems theory-based approach, Rasmussen's (1997. Safety Science 27, 183), risk management framework, to the analysis of the factors influencing safety during manual handling activities in a freight handling organisation. Observations of manual handling activities, cognitive decision method interviews with workers (n = 27) and interviews with managers (n = 35) were used to gather information about three manual handling activities. Hierarchical task analysis and thematic analysis were used to identify potential risk factors and performance shaping factors across the levels of Rasmussen's framework. These different data sources were then integrated using Rasmussen's Accimap technique to provide an overall analysis of the factors influencing safety during manual handling activities in this context. The findings demonstrate how a systems theory-based approach can be applied to this domain, and suggest that policy-orientated, rather than worker-orientated, changes are required to prevent future manual handling injuries.
