Decentralised and centralised energy: a property rights analysis
International Journal of Global Energy Issues, 2007Interconnection between centralised and decentralised electrical power sources remains a contentious issue on technical, economic, and policy grounds. This paper considers the problem of interconnection as a property rights problem one that involves allocation conflicts and pressures for institutional change.

The Approach for Abu Dhabi's Solar Energy: Centralised or Decentralised
Emirati Journal of Business, Economics, & Social StudiesThis paper evaluates the economic viability of decentralised solar systems in Abu Dhabi. By analysing levelised cost of electricity (LCOE), net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR) across customer groups, it finds that while rooftop solar generation is not yet cost-effective for heavily subsidised sectors, it remains viable for ...

An approach for modelling a decentralised energy system
2010The need for flexible electricity systems, changing regulations and the importance of renewable energy use may lead in time to the requirement of a decentralised electricity network. This paper presents an outline for developing a model of the decentralised energy network based on `energy hubs'.

Intelligent Small-Scale Decentralised Energy Systems
2012As it stands in most of the world today, the overwhelming majority of global energy systems are based on the legacy concept of the large-scale centralised energy utility model. In this chapter we seek to argue for a very different paradigm for our energy supply system, that of the Intelligent Small-Scale Decentralised Energy System (henceforth referred
