An hourly energy balance analysis is presented of the Australian National Electricity Market in a 100% renewable energy scenario, in which wind and photovoltaics (PV) provides about 90% of the annual electricity demand and existing hydroelectricity and biomass provides the balance. Heroic assumptions about future technology development are avoided by only including technology that is being depl...

Alternative mechanisms for EU ETS (European Union Emissions Trading Scheme) quotas allocations within the Romanian economy are evaluated using a general equilibrium model within a dynamic intertemporal framework. Several distribution rules are simulated based on: the historical emissions, the least-cost approach and the auctioning scheme with and without a preliminary selection of eligible sect...

Energy generated by the force of water in hydropower can provide a more sustainable, non-polluting alternative to fossil fuels, along with other renewable sources of energy, such as wind, solar and tidal power, bio energy and geothermal energy. Small scale hydroelectricity in Iran is well suited for “off-grid” rural electricity applications, while other renewable energy sources, such as wind, s...

This study presents the first continental assessment of water storage and its influence on availability river systems South America. Although hydraulic infrastructure has potential to cause several impacts environment, their relevance in resources is irrefutable. The human services that dams reservoirs provide society, e.g., hydroelectricity, supply, irrigation, or flood control, are vital soci...

Abstract Background Energy is the main requirement for economic growth in any country and supports modern economy. The energy sector considered a vital element developing countries because it meets needs. This article addresses production of electricity using small hydroelectric power plants rural applications. objective this study was to assess potential Ribb dam plants. flow very important hy...

The global shifting away from petroleum fuels and towards more renewable energy sources has resulted in a significant progress favor of vehicle electrification. uptake electric the existing fleet vehicles positive impacts reduction emissions reduces carbon footprints by moving to greener transport. Nepal is hydropower resource rich developing country; it can use its clean source hydroelectricit...

World electricity production today is heavily dependent on water resources. Studies have shown that global warming and climate changes will have significant impacts on available water resources to produce hydroelectric power. Considering that the reservoir dam in the catchment area of Dez is simultaneously a producer of hydropower and supplier of water needed for agricultural land, the aim of t...
