Oil prices have collapsed by more than half this year, to $23 per barrel today for West Texas Intermediate crude. But now is not yet the time to buy oil—because the worst is yet to come. Gasoline demand is set to plunge 50%, while jet fuel consumption has all but …

Amid a thunderstorm of horrifically sad COVID-19 news, I wanted to focus on an energy story to lift your spirits. We all realize that energy markets are such an afterthought right now, but I wanted to give you something. Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of …

A sharp drop in aviation and transport demand has sent prices down by a third since January.

This book presents currently available renewable energy technologies (RETs) and explores their possible integration into the economically viable and green residential microgrids of tomorrow. The emphasis is on the importance of RETs in today’s energy-efficient building designs. and on those RET mathematical models suitable for both performance simulation and economic …

Last week. Microsoft joined the likes of Amazon. Apple. Tesla and other tech giants in a pledge to dramatically reduce its carbon footprint in the coming years. In fact. the company aims to achieve carbon negative status by 2030. meaning that it will remove more CO2 from the atmosphere than …

The world we live in today is very different to 10 years ago. What change will the coming decade bring? I asked Wood Mackenzie`s analysts from across our business – energy transition. power and renewables. macro oils. petrochemicals. gas. upstream. corporate. economics. metals and mining – to imagine what 2030 could …

The increasing penetration of distributed energy resource (DER). distributed generation (DG) and energy storage system (ESS) units in distribution grids leads to the emergence of the concepts of active distribution networks (ADNs). microgrids. and virtual power plants. Nowadays. the use of electronically-coupled distributed energy resources is of great interest that …

Hybrid Systems and Multi-energy Networks for the Future Energy Internet provides the general concepts of hybrid systems and multi-energy networks. focusing on the integration of energy systems and the application of information technology for energy internet. The book gives a comprehensive presentation on the optimization of hybrid multi-energy systems. integrating …
