On Renewable Energy (RE), this field covers the most significant share of the world energy demand and challenges on the expensive measurement and maintenance equipment to be used. In all studies and designs, global solar radiation (GSR) measurements require assessment, estimation, and models to be applied together with the environment and meteorological data on installing…

Fossil fuel can no longer supply the constantly spiking demands of energy around the world, hence the increasing research on renewable energies as an alternative. The Stirling Engine is an external combustion engine, giving us a wide range of heat sources: solar, nuclear. The Stirling engine makes best of use of solar sources in an…

Solar energy becomes widely used in the global power grid. Therefore, enhancing the accuracy of solar energy predictions is essential for the efficient planning, managing and operating of power systems. To minimize the negatives impacts of photovoltaics on electricity and energy systems, an approach to highly accurate and advanced forecasting is urgently needed. In this…

This study examines the potential of solar energy in the urban environment with a case study in Semarang, Indonesia by analyzing the intensity of solar radiation and the residential rooftop area. The study aims to obtain a quantitative description of the potential for electricity production from rooftop solar photovoltaic systems in residential areas and estimate…

In this work of technological development and research is presented the work done in the ITSAO to contribute to the use of clean energy such as photovoltaics and the implementation of activities to reduce electricity consumption by the technological community, the monitoring of electricity consumption is made on a monthly basis and an annual report…

Despite many factors conducive to renewable energy investment in Qatar (e.g., the fact that the state is a major gas exporter whose long-term prosperity depends on economic diversification), there is very low uptake of solar panel adoption among home and business owners. Major challenges implicitly face the deployment of solar and other renewables in Qatar,…

The integration of distributed energy resources has ushered in a host of complex challenges, significantly impacting power quality in distribution networks. This work studies these challenges, exploring issues such as voltage fluctuations and escalating power losses caused by the integration of solar systems and electric vehicle (EV) chargers. We present a robust methodology focused on…

The impact of previous energy crisis gives an insight into what happens when the oil price crashes. Μany countries were affected due the slow reaction in boosting the economic growth in key sectors such as oil-importing activities and the economic restructuring progress to face the challenges. But the present energy crisis resulting from the COVID-19…

There are different factors which contribute to the amount of output power which can be delivered by solar photovoltaic (PV) module at any time of the year. The factors include but not limited to solar irradiation, ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity, position of sun in the sky, geographical position of installed solar PV module…

Today, the costs of most Renewable Energy (RE) technologies especially hydrogen energy technologies such as fuel cells, are still beyond the means of poorer economies in developing countries. Hence, there is little public awareness and local expertise in RE in these countries and even lesser in hydrogen energy. To solve this problem, it is important…

This study presents the design and construction of the Dual Axis Solar Tracking System to ensure maximum energy gain. The solar tracking system will automatically follow the sun’s position to maximize the intensity of the light emitted from the sun. When the light intensity decreases, the system automatically changes its direction to get the maximum…

Jeju Island is the largest island of South Korea and has an independent electric supply system. The island has a special energy plan that realizes itself a carbon-free region by 2030. Wind and solar energy resources are considered as an important means. The introduction of weather-variable renewable energy generation sources into the electric power system…

The reformation of energy hubs has significantly augmented the apprehensions about the levels of dependency between different energy sources which often can also be discussed as independent systems conventionally. This research brings focus on the formulation and analysis of an integrated system with bi-directional energy conversions and its effects on the stability of the system…

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…
