Can organic active materials be used for electrochemical energy storage?

In particular, the replacement of environmentally questionable metals by more sustainable organic materials is on the current research agenda. This review presents recent results regarding the developments of organic active materials for electrochemical energy storage.

Can Lebanese transmission and distribution grid be renewable?

In addition, IRENA’s 2017 study, Planning for the renewable future, suggests conducting specialised system studies on the renewable carrying capacity of the Lebanese transmission and distribution grid in diferent geographical zones, as well as a long-term generation adequacy studies.

Does the Lebanese grid have a high frequency instability?

In 2017, the UNDP CEDRO project developed a wind grid interconnection guide for Lebanon (CEDRO, 2017), in which frequency readings of the Lebanese grid were published. These readings showed very high instabilities not only on the lower end where it reached 48 Hz but also on the higher end of the spectrum where it reached close to 52 Hz.

How has the refugee crisis affected Lebanese electricity?

Impacts of regional crises: The Lebanese Crisis Response Plan (LCRP) 2017–2020 estimated that the refugee crisis has cut electricity availability by 500 MW – equivalent to approximately five hours of electricity per day – obliging the state to rely more on private generators, costing around USD 150 million USD (UNDP, 2016).

How will EDL help the Lebanese economy?

This increase in generation capacity will allow EDL to close the gap between electricity supply and demand, thereby reducing dependency on private generators by 2020, reducing the electricity bill for consumers and supporting the Lebanese economy by providing a reliable, low-cost electricity supply.
