A model of technological breakthrough in the renewable energy sector

Forecasting and Visualization of Renewable Energy Technologies Using Keyword Taxonomies

Interest in renewable energy has grown rapidly, driven by widely held concerns about energy sustainbility and security. At present, no single mode of renewable energy generation dominates and consideration tends to center on finding optimal combinations of different energy sources and generation technologies. In this context, it is very important that decision makers, investors and other stakeh...

Renewable energy portfolio standards (RPS) and achieving the optimal mix of renewable energy

Global development in terms of increased attention to environmental protection and the finite nature of fossil resources have accelerated the use of renewable energies. Renewable energy portfolio standard (RPS), is a government policy to promote the use of renewable energy in the energy consumption basket.  The RPS stipulates the minimum amount of renewable energy that each electricity supplier...

ECAST: A Benchmark Framework for Renewable Energy Forecasting Systems

The increasing capacities of renewable energy sources and the opportunities emerging from the smart grid technology lead to new challenges for energy forecasters. Energy output fluctuates stronger compared to conventional power production. More time series data is available through the usage of sensor technology.
