In the last decade, South Africa has attracted and attained more investment by means of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REI4P), which is, a structured invitation to Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to submit a bid to generate and supply power to the electrical grid. In spite of REI4P’s undeniable triumph, a much-discussed…

This paper presents a case study of solar irradiance and scope of on-grid solar power systems with net-metering in Pakistan. Detailed analysis of solar irradiance in Pakistan is being carried out by developing the dedicated solar excel sheets. The need of on grid solar power systems for the present energy crisis in developing countries like…

Power losses exist naturally and have to be cared for in the operation of electrical power systems. Many researchers have worked on various methods and approaches to reduce losses by incorporating distributed generators (DG), particularly from renewable sources. These studies are based on the maximum unit penetration of the DGs, which is rarely achieved, resulting…

Experiments to investigate the performance of a thermoelectric cooler box powered using a solar panel with a mini pin fin as the heat removal unit was conducted at the un-condition ambient temperature. Due to solar power, the power given to the thermoelectric on different days was different. However, the power on the day of the…

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…

In vital energy applications especially the agricultural environments, the service of adaptive power utilization plays an essential role in facilitating the usage of Internet of Things systems. Such environments are distinguished by the large range of lands where most of the region lacks the commercial power lines. Reaching some high or deep sensing points is…

Estimation Solar radiation is the most significant part of the optimization of solar power. This may be achieved if the solar radiation is predicted well in advance. Meteorological stations have radiation measuring devices like pyranometer, pyrheliometer, radiometer, solarimeter, etc. however, it may not be available at the location of interest for researchers. Due to this…

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…

As the significance of new and renewable energy is highlighted, land-based solar power generation has seen remarkable progress. This study utilizes the Strength Reduction Method in DIANA, a numerical analysis software, to assess the stability concerning various variables, such as slope angle, water level, water depth, and changes in material properties, with a focus on…

Renewable energy is an essential source of green growth for countries facing a shortage of fossil fuels. They offer a sustainable, inexhaustible, carbon-free solution to the future energy dependency of nations. Morocco, which has no traditional energy resources, depends entirely on the international primary energy market to meet its growing demand. For this reason, Morocco…

This paper covers a new topology, a synchronous wind turbine generator, and a solar photovoltaic generator. The Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator is linked to the grid by back-to-back voltage source converters (BtB VSC), consisting of a two-stage rectifier and a five-stage Neutral Point Clamped inverter, operated by the Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation technique. A…

In the recent times power shortage has been a major setback to deal for the effective operation of power systems. Bridging the gap between generation and demand is known as Demand Side Management (DSM). For an effective DSM strategy to be implemented, it is crucial that both utility and customers be involved. By DSM, the…
