What will Oman's new energy policy mean for the energy sector?

The move – a first in Oman’s power sector – will help support the large-scale adoption of renewable energy resources for electricity generation, as well as accelerate the decarbonization of the electricity sector, according to a key executive of the state-owned entity – a member of Nama Group.

Can new energy sources be integrated into traditional ship power systems?

The integration of new energy sources into traditional ship power systems has enormous potential to bring the shipping industry in line with international regulatory requirements and is set to become a key focus of ship-related researches in the immediate future. 1. Introduction

How can energy storage improve the penetration of intermittent resources?

Energy storage can increase the penetration of intermittent resources by improving power system flexibility, reducing energy curtailment and minimising system costs. By the end of 2018 the global capacity for pump hydropower storage reached 160 GW whereas the global capacity for battery storage totalled around 3 GW (REN21 2019 ).

How can a hybrid energy storage system reduce load fluctuations?

For example, in order to reduce the impact of load fluctuations on the system efficiency of a full-power ship, Alafnan et al. used a hybrid energy storage system consisting of batteries and superconducting magnetic energy storage devices to maintain the bus voltage stability.

Are ship microgrids a new energy source?

In summary, current studies on microgrids mainly focus on terrestrial new energy generation systems, whilst the research on ship microgrids is insufficient. This research status has become one of the restriction factors for the wider adoption of new energy sources in ships.

How do energy storage systems work?

Energy storage systems currently in use around the world save energy in a variety of forms – chemical, kinetic, thermal and so on – and convert them back to electricity or other useful forms. In Pumped Hydroelectric Storage, for example, the system consists of two reservoirs maintained at different heights.
