Estimation of surplus energy in off-grid solar home systems (2021)
Journal Article
Bhatti, S., & Williams, A. (2021). Estimation of surplus energy in off-grid solar home systems. Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability, 6, Article 25. https://doi.org/10.1051/rees/2021024

A recent survey shows that a large percentage of people living in underdeveloped countries do not have access to electricity and are isolated from the rest of the world. Solar energy can help meet the energy demand; however, it has an intermittent na... Read More about Estimation of surplus energy in off-grid solar home systems.

An independently controlled energy storage to support short term frequency fluctuations in weak electrical grids (2018)
Journal Article
Jayamaha, P. C., Costabeber, A., Williams, A., & Sumner, M. (2018). An independently controlled energy storage to support short term frequency fluctuations in weak electrical grids. International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems, 103, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijepes.2018.05.023

This paper proposes the use of Energy Storage (ES) to support frequency fluctuations in weak grids powered by low-power synchronous generators (SGs). Traditionally, large synchronous generators rely on high inertia and governor control to guarantee t...

Design of an appliance switch responding to solar energy (2017)
Journal Article
Koshti, A. P., & Williams, A. (in press). Design of an appliance switch responding to solar energy

Knowing the ill effects of dependence upon conventional resources for generation of energy, the world is already making an effort to harness energy from renewable energy sources. However, the use of conventional resources is not fully eliminated from... Read More about Design of an appliance switch responding to solar energy.
