Many nations have expanded their national energy portfolio to ameliorate the effects of climate change and to ensure the security and certainty of energy availability. These efforts have led to scrutiny of marine renewable energy (MRE) as one of several viable new renewable energy sources. In addition to the need to prove the reliability and efficiency of current and wave energy converters, eff...

in the recent years, renewable energy sources are an important component of world energy consumption. gdp is one of the main measures of a country’s economic activity. most of the studies examine the impact of renewable energy consumption on gdp with single equation model and the others use dynamic panel data. since the granger causality analysis’s findings of this paper establish bidirectional...

The use of renewable energy reduces environmental pollution and leads to achievement of sustainable development. The current study investigates the dynamic interrelationship between sustainable development, renewable and non-renewable energies and environment nexus by applying Bayesian vector autoregression (BVAR) and impulse response functions in Iran with an annual data frequency for the time...

Recent forecasts suggest that African countries must triple their current electricity generation by 2030. Our multicriteria assessment of wind and solar potential for large regions of Africa shows how economically competitive and low-environmental-impact renewable resources can significantly contribute to meeting this demand. We created the Multicriteria Analysis for Planning Renewable Energy (...

As the penetration level of transmission-scale timeintermittent renewable generation resources increases, control of flexible resources will become important to mitigating the fluctuations due to these new renewable resources. Flexible resources may include new or existing synchronous generators as well as new energy storage devices. The addition of energy storage, if needed, should be done opt...
