Energy democracy, public participation, and support for local energy system change in Canada by Fiander, J, Walker, C, Rowlands, IH, Devine-Wright, P, Wilson, C, Soutar, I, Gupta, R

“…Additionally, support and a desire to participate is predominantly motivated by environmental factors, including combating climate change, with community and social motivations playing a secondary role, followed by financial motivations. These findings, some of the first of their kind in the realm of energy democracy in Canada, provide useful insights relevant to scholars, policymakers, and practitioners working on LSG implementation as well as others with an interest in socio-technical innovation and energy system change.…”

Modelling, design and control of the virtual synchronous machine in the smart grid application by Chen, Yidan

“…Subsequently, the definition of the smart grid occurred in order to combine the different generation units into a power system. The smart grid has high efficiency and economic advantages. However, because of the stability and dynamic issues caused by the renewable energy generation, virtual synchronous machine is a kind of new technology which has the ability to help the smart grid to interface with the power grid with more stable operation. …”
