1 | Tran, Thomas T.D. | Thermoeconomic analysis of residential rooftop photovoltaic systems with integrated energy storage and resulting impacts on electrical distribution networks | This paper investigates residential rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems for long-term thermoeconomic benefits from PV homeowners' perspectives and for impacts on the electrical distribution network from grid operators' perspectives. The costs of generating electricity from grid-connected PV systems ar... | Rooftop PV; Net Metering; Distribution Network; Energy storage; LCOE | 2018-07-07 | |
2 | Tran, Thomas T. D. | System scaling approach and thermoeconomic analysis of a pressure retarded osmosis system for power production with hypersaline draw solution: A Great Salt Lake study | Osmotic power with pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) is an emerging renewable energy option for locations where fresh water and salt water mix. Energy can be recovered from the salinity gradient between the solutions. This study provides a comprehensive feasibility analysis for a PRO power plant in a ... | Pressure retarded osmosis; Power generation; Renewable energy; Hydroelectric; Levelized cost | 2017-06 | |
3 | Tran, Thomas T.D. | Incorporating performance-based global sensitivity and uncertainty analysis into LCOE calculations for emerging renewable energy technologies | Assessing system costs for power generation is essential for evaluating the economical aspect of energy resources. This paper examines traditional and renewable energy resources under uncertainty and variability of input variables. The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of each technology is compu... | Renewable energy technologies; LCOE levelized cost of electricity | 2018-02-14 | |
4 | Thomas, Tran T. D. | Evaluation of renewable energy technologies and their potential for technical integration and cost-effective use within the U.S. energy sector | Energy demands, environmental impacts of energy conversion, and the depletion of fossil; fuels are constant topics of discussion in the energy industry. Renewable energy technologies; have been proposed for many years to address these concerns. However, the transformation; from traditional methods o... | Renewable energy; Power generation; Electrical grid; Emerging energy systems; System integration | 2017-07 |
