The presented paper is a techno-economic feasibility study to use solar energy as a renewable energy to power the Passive Optical Network (PON). This discussion focuses on the requirements and sources of power for the active components of optical access networks. To ensure continuous reduction of the carbon footprint while advancing towards purely passive optical networks, we have emphasized th...

The impact of ports on urban areas’ decarbonization to reduce air and environmental pollution effects achieve sustainable development is undeniable, especially in the marine transportation sector. In this case, applied studies that can contribute existing knowledge increasing ports’ energy self-sufficiency using renewable sources (RESs) are critical necessary. study, firstly, (1) RESs assessmen...

The move towards a decarbonised wo...

The use of renewable energy sources in world will increase, leading to a more sustainable energy mix, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and a lower dependency from oil. Wind power is one of the renewable energy sources that have virtually no environmental problems; it is one of the fastest growing sources of energy in the world. In industry, the wind power creates new jobs, encourages innovation...

This paper presents a novel strategy, optimized by genetic algorithms, to control stand-alone hybrid renewable electrical systems with hydrogen storage. The strategy optimizes the control of the hybrid system minimizing the total cost throughout its lifetime. The optimized hybrid system can be composed of renewable sources (wind, PV and hydro), batteries, fuel cell, AC generator, and electrolyz...
