The role of concentrating solar power in a South African large scale renewable energy scenario by May, Haydn Liam

“…This thesis investigates a hypothetical large scale renewable energy system for South Africa over the long term future using 2050 as a nominal year of analysis. Simulation modeling was used to assess the integration of three renewable energy technologies, which are currently being installed at utility scales in South Africa, at much higher penetrations. …”

Optimal energy management for a grid-tied solar PV-battery microgrid: A reinforcement learning approach by Muriithi, Grace

“…The performance of the proposed method is evaluated with differently fluctuating load profiles, i.e., slow, medium, and fast. Simulation results substantiated the efficacy of the proposed method as the algorithm was established to learn from experience to raise the battery state of charge and optimally shift loads from a one-time instance, thus supporting the utility grid in reducing aggregate peak load. …”
