Journal Article
Cárdenas, B., Garvey, S., Baniamerian, Z., & Mehdipour, R. (2025). Heat pumps' impact on the requirement for grid-scale energy storage in the UK. Renewable Energy, 247, Article 123020. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2025.123020

This paper explores the potential effect that the widespread utilisation of heat pumps in the UK could have on a future 100% renewable-based electricity grid and the requirement for energy storage capacity. The study considers different penetrations... Read More about Heat pumps' impact on the requirement for grid-scale energy storage in the UK.

Integrated energy storage and transmission solutions: Evaluating hydrogen, ammonia, and compressed air for offshore wind power delivery (2025)
Journal Article
Baniamerian, Z., Garvey, S., Rouse, J., Mehdipour, R., & Cárdenas, B. (2025). Integrated energy storage and transmission solutions: Evaluating hydrogen, ammonia, and compressed air for offshore wind power delivery. Journal of Energy Storage, 118, Article 116254. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2025.116254

This paper introduces a novel dual-purpose transmission system that integrates power transmission and energy storage using hydrogen, ammonia, and compressed air—an area largely unexplored in the literature. Unlike conventional cable transmission, whi...

Heat pumps and the requirement for grid-scale energy storage in the UK (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cardenas, B., Garvey, S., Baniamerian, Z., & Mehdipour, R. (2024, December). Heat pumps and the requirement for grid-scale energy storage in the UK. Presented at IET Powering Net Zero (PNZ 2024), Birmingham

In this paper we study the effect that the electrification of heat demand through the use of air-source heat pumps could have on a future zero-carbon electricity grid in the UK and the requirement for grid-scale energy storage. The study considers di... Read More about Heat pumps and the requirement for grid-scale energy storage in the UK.

The Effect of Wind Turbines’ Load Factor on the Overall Cost of Electricity (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cardenas, B., Garvey, S., Baniamerian, Z., & Mehdipour, R. (2024, July). The Effect of Wind Turbines’ Load Factor on the Overall Cost of Electricity. Presented at 8th Offshore Energy and Storage Symposium (OSES 2024), New Bedford, USA

The load factor of wind turbines has a strong effect on the wider electricity system. As the rated wind speed of turbines reduces, the load factor increases. This allows wind farms to generate constant power for longer periods of time, which in turn... Read More about The Effect of Wind Turbines’ Load Factor on the Overall Cost of Electricity.
