Evaluation of Economic, Energy-environmental and Sociological Effects of Substituting Non-renewable Energy with Renewable Energy Sources

Energy Sources: Non Renewable and Renewable

Economic Growth and Renewable Energy in Iran

Energy plays an active role in sustainable development in Iran, both in the sustainable and the development aspects. This study aims to estimate the nexus of economic growth and the renewable energy in Iran during 1981-2012. We employ the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to estimate a log-linear equation. The results suggest that renewable energy consumption is an insignificant driv...

Non-renewable and intermittent renewable energy sources: friends and foes?

Renewable Energy Sources

Glossary Amorphous silicon (a-Si): A glassy alloy of silicon and hydrogen (about 10 percent) used in thin-film photovoltaic solar cells to convert sunlight to electricity. Anaerobic Digestion: Combustible gas called biogas produced from biomass through low temperature biological processes. Anthropogenic: Man made. Bagasse: The fiber residue that remains after juice extraction from sugarcane. Ba...

The Role of Digitalization in Microgrid Including Renewable Energy Sources

Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) with potential environmental, economic and social benefits are designed to improve energy efficiency and reliability. In this study, artificial intelligence and smart grids were studied to supply electricity for a green cottage. The obtained results are essential for designing, implementing, and building HRES. Three cost-benefit and environmental, economic...
