Distributed generation (DG) has many uses in commercial and industrial field depends on energy uses such as renewable and non-renewable energy sources. But nowadays it is broadly used with wind and solar power. The main motto behind this is to provide a system which is environmental friendly i. e. greenhouse effect, carbon footprint reduction and limited renewable energy sources which increase ...

Environmental pollution and rapid depletion are among the chief concerns about fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. Renewable energy sources do not suffer from such limitations and are considered the best choice to replace fossil fuels. The present study develops a mathematical model for optimal allocation of regional renewable energy to meet a country-wide demand and its other essential as...

Renewable energy is a source of energy derived from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, water, tides, hot dry rocks, magma, hot water springs, fire wood, animal manure, and crop residues and waste. These renewable energy technologies are called with its source such as solar power, wind power, hydropower, geothermal and biomass. Energy resources are so important in perspective of economics...

While environmental and energy concerns have become global issues, the government of South Korea has made notable efforts and formulated plans for the diffusion of renewable energy generation facilities for the nation’s public and governmental institutions. Accordingly, Jeju Island has become one of the most promising locations for utilizing renewable energy resources. This study aims to propos...

The objective of this study was to analyse the feasibility of adopting renewable energy technologies such as Solar PV systems and improved wood-fuel stoves in rural households and the role of such technologies on sustainable energy use and rural development in Tanzania. To reach this objective, the study analysed the current status of energy supply and energy use in rural Tanzania. Furthermore,...

Energy conservation through energy storage combined with intensive use of renewable energies will support the effort to meet the objectives of reduction of climatic gases formulated in the Kyoto protocol. Potential studies have shown that in Germany about 20 – 25 % of the end-energy consumption for space heating and domestic hot water can be covered by solar energy. Solar district heating with ...

This article compares the land use in solar energy technologies with conventional energy sources. This has been done by introducing two parameters called land transformation and land occupation. It has been shown that the land area transformed by solar energy power generation is small compared to hydroelectric power generation, and is comparable with coal and nuclear energy power generation whe...

This work describes the development of a system designed for renewable power generation integration. It continuously acquires wind, solar and temperature data, which is automatically correlated with energy parameters, obtained from renewable energy systems. The developed system was installed in an urban building equipped with photovoltaic cells and wind renewable generation. To validate the dev...

The use of renewable energy sources is a major strategy to mitigate climate change. Yet Sinn (2017) argues that excessive electrical storage requirements could limit the further expansion of variable wind and solar energy. We question, and alter, strong implicit assumptions of Sinn’s approach and find that storage needs are considerably lower, up to two orders of magnitude. First, we move away ...

This paper focuses on the integration of hybrid renewable energy resources available in remote isolated islands of Sundarban-24 Parganas-South of Eastern part of India to National Grid of conventional power supply to give a Smart-Grid scenario. Before grid-integration, feasibility of optimization of hybrid renewable energy system is monitored through an Intelligent Controller proposed to be ins...
