Abstract:

A comprehensive dataset for the resources and technologies in a present-day energy system is presented. These data were used as the model input data for spatio-temporal value chain optimisation studies for the Great Britain energy system. Although focussed on Great Britain, these data may be applicable to other energy systems worldwide. Data are presented for energy resources and energy technologies. Spatio-temporal energy resource data include availabilities of primary resources such as wind and solar, and demands for heat and electricity in the domestic, commercial and industrial sectors. Economic and operating parameters for a wide range of energy technologies are presented, including resource utilisation and conversion technologies such as wind turbines and electrolysers, resource transportation such as gas transmission systems, and energy storage technologies. The data were gathered from a wide range of academic literature, technical reports, and government databases; all references are provided with the data. This dataset will be valuable for greater understanding of the energy value chain optimisation studies performed using the Value Web Model, carrying out further energy system modelling, and as a general reference for the resources and technologies in present-day energy systems.

Energy Diagrams - II

Energy Diagrams - II

Energy diagrams are important to understand the dynamics of a system. The topology of an energy diagram helps illustrate the equilibrium points of the system.
The point in the energy diagram at which the system’s potential energy is the lowest is known as the local minima. The system tends to stay in this position indefinitely unless acted upon by a net force. The slope of the potential energy diagram at the local minima is zero, indicating that zero net force is acting on the system. The...

Energy Diagrams - I

The dynamics of a mechanical system can be easily understood by interpreting a potential energy diagram. Since energy is a scalar quantity, the interpretation of the dynamics of the system becomes even simpler.
Take the example of a skater on a parabolic ramp. The potential energy at different points along the ramp will be proportional to the height of the ramp, which varies quadratically with the horizontal position on the ramp. As the skater moves down the ramp from the highest position,...

Energy Diagrams, Transition States, and Intermediates

Energy Diagrams, Transition States, and Intermediates

Free-energy diagrams, or reaction coordinate diagrams, are graphs showing the energy changes that occur during a chemical reaction. The reaction coordinate represented on the horizontal axis shows how far the reaction has progressed structurally. Positions along the x-axis close to the reactants have structures resembling the reactants, while positions close to the products resemble the products. Peaks on the energy diagram represent stable structures with measurable lifetimes, while...

Energy Budgets

Energy Budgets

Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species, like annual plants, have only one reproductive episode in their lifetimes and consequently have short lifespans. Iteroparous species, by contrast, have many reproductive events during their lifetimes but have relatively few offspring. These two...

Energy and Power Signals

Energy and Power Signals

In an electrical system with a resistor, voltage and current signals facilitate the measurement of power and energy across the resistor. For a continuous-time signal, the total energy over a time interval is defined as the integral of the square of the signal's magnitude over that interval. Mathematically, this is expressed as:

Energy Losses in Transformers

Energy Losses in Transformers

In an ideal transformer, it is assumed that there are no energy losses, and, hence, all the power at the primary winding is transferred to the secondary winding. However, in reality, the transformers always have some energy losses, and, hence, the output power obtained at the secondary winding is less than the input power at the primary winding due to energy losses.
There are four main reasons for energy losses in transformers.
The first cause can be the high resistance of the...
