An assessment of the economic feasibility of the floating PV technology in Aotearoa–New Zealand (2023)
Journal Article
Brent, A. C., Crossland, A., & Ranusa, D. (2023). An assessment of the economic feasibility of the floating PV technology in Aotearoa–New Zealand. Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments, 57, Article 103284. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seta.2023.103284

Electricity generation from utility-scale solar facilities is projected to grow to between 5 and 16 TWh by 2050 in Aotearoa–New Zealand. The floating photovoltaic (FPV) technology is considered a viable option for the country, because of the good sol...

A levelized cost of energy approach to select and optimise emerging PV technologies: The relative impact of degradation, cost and initial efficiency (2021)
Journal Article
Nieto-Díaz, B. A., Crossland, A. F., & Groves, C. (2021). A levelized cost of energy approach to select and optimise emerging PV technologies: The relative impact of degradation, cost and initial efficiency. Applied Energy, 299, Article 117302. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2021.117302

A model of levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is presented which accounts for the significant ‘burn-in’ losses common in photovoltaic (PV) devices with organic (OPV) and perovskite (PVK) absorber layers. This model is used to quantify the relative impor...

Effects of time resolution on finances and self-consumption when modeling domestic PV-battery systems (2020)
Journal Article
Sun, S., Smith, B., Wills, R., & Crossland, A. (2020). Effects of time resolution on finances and self-consumption when modeling domestic PV-battery systems. Energy Reports, 6, 157-165. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2020.03.020

When modeling a renewable energy system, the timestep to use is an important consideration. Timestep, or time resolution, can have an impact on results, influencing the sizing of the system and whether or not to invest at all. In this work, real meas...

This paper examines the feasibility of energy storage in in a low voltage distribution network to facilitate increased Distributed Generation (DG), and electricity demand. Modelling is used to quantify technical and financial benefits of storage over... Read More about Regulatory and Financial Hurdles for the Installation of Energy Storage in UK Distribution Networks.

Mechanical to Electrical Energy Conversion in a Hybrid Liquid-Solid Dielectric Electrostatic Generator (2009)
Journal Article
Crossland, A., Wyllie, P., & Ran, L. (2009). Mechanical to Electrical Energy Conversion in a Hybrid Liquid-Solid Dielectric Electrostatic Generator. Journal of Applied Physics, 106(4), Article 044108. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3207834

The authors are studying the effect of the dielectric choice in electrostatic generators on the energy yield. Despite having high permittivities, solid dielectrics are shown to have a lower performance than is first apparent, due to the effect of the...
