It is widely known that cities now house more than half of the world’s population. Within this framework, this study presents the possibilities for real-world application of renewable energy sources (RES) in urban areas, as well as their contribution to the urban deployment of the new energy paradigm. A comparison is made between hybrid power…

Since environmental requirements penetrate engineering processes to keep global warming and to reduce pollutant emissions, the system operation should be designed based on environmentally approach friendly. Operationally, the system processes are supported by energy suppliers to meet continuously energy transaction while clean and green energies are also targeted to keep the environmental conditions. In other…

The concept of renewable energy is increasing day by day because the electrical applications are moving towards utilization of renewable sources and due to this factor electric power is also gaining ground and new type of converters are modelled in order to get high utilization of renewable sources. In this paper, two types of multiport…

As the global community increasingly shifts its focus towards sustainable development and combating climate change, renewable energy policies have become pivotal in shaping national and regional energy landscapes. Malaysia, as a developing nation with a rapidly growing economy, has recognized the importance of renewable energy sources in achieving its socio-economic goals while addressing environmental concerns.…

In this work, the impact of implementing a large amount of decentralized renewable energy sources (RES) of different scales on an extra-large power grid is investigated. Three scenarios are created, substituting 10%, 20%, and 30% of the conventional energy production by RES. For this purpose, the initial dynamic model of Continental Europe in combination with…

The integration of renewable energy distributed generation (REDG) into the energized distribution power grid has become more popular in recent years. This has been escalated by the general global energy shortages. The REDG has proven to be effective for energy sustainability and reliability. However, there are technical challenges which arise from integrating REDG into the…

The levelized cost of electricity production is highly dependent on the cost of fuel oil on the world market. In order to reduce the dependency on the fuel oil, many countries are adopting an energy transition towards distributed generation. Distributed generation can be described as various means of generating electricity at or near where it…

While it is commonly accepted that climate change needs to be addressed to protect both human and environmental health, it is not widely understood what steps need to be taken to accomplish this daunting task. Additionally, there is currently no formal definition of what constitutes a ‘green’ company or ‘green’ best practice, despite the rising…

The Malaysian government has recently announced to increase the share of renewable energy generation from 2% to 20% of the total electricity consumption by year 2030. However, integrating a significant level of renewable energy sources on the distribution network without proper coordination will cause adverse effects that leads to unnecessary operation costs to the stakeholders.…

This paper critically evaluates the operational perspective of Virtual Power Plants (VPP) in Germany by analyzing key factors to replace conventional power plants in the future power system. Therefore, its necessity for the secure operation as well as the technical and economic benefits for the German power system are pointed out. The single sections describe…

Sustainable energy is gradually becoming the norm today due to greenhouse warming effects; as a result, the quests for different renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic cells as well as energy efficient electrical appliances are becoming popular. Therefore, this article explores the alternative energy case for thermoelectricity with focus on the steady-state mathematics, mixed modelings…

In order to balance the power in intelligent distribution networks (Smart Grid or Microgrid), it is proposed to organize a «multi operated virtual power plant». The resources of active and reactive power for which can be obtained using an AC voltage controller with a phase-angle control for regulation of operating modes of the ohmic load…

The demand for renewable energy sources such as waste pyrolysis plastic oil (WPPO), ethanol biofuel with high oxygen content is increasing globally. This study used blending of conventional diesel oil, waste plastic pyrolysis oil, ethanol and 2-ethyl hexyl nitrate (EHN) as additive. The purpose was to improve combustion, the ignition quality, and performance and emission…

As the contribution from renewable energy sources increase, the power quality degradation has become a challenge for the power system operator. There are major two factors causing power quality deterioration. First is the current harmonic generation by the power electronic converters used in renewable energy sources, and second is the magnification of harmonic voltage due…
