The growth of renewable energy facilities worldwide creates new challenges for sustainable regional development. Unregulated investment flows in the green sector cause disparities deployment various technologies, worsen ability to balance national systems, etc. This article is first comprehensive study that offers a methodology multifactor modeling considering priorities national, regional, and...

As electricity prices and environmental awareness increase, more customers are becoming interested in installing distributed renewable generation, such as rooftop photovoltaic systems. Yearly load profile data could become very relevant to these help them time efficiently accurately determine optimal energy investments for customers. A new multi-dimension objective-oriented clustering-based met...

Micro energy grids have many merits and promising applications under the smart grid vision. There are demanding procedures for their optimal planning and performance enhancement. One of the key features of a micro energy grid is its ability to separate and isolate itself from the main electrical network to continue feeding its own islanded portion. In this paper, an optimal sizing and operation...

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...

This study explores the dynamic effect of non-renewable energy, renewable economic growth, and foreign direct investment on environmental degradation in twenty selected African countries over period 2000–2015. We have adopted Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis Pollution Haven/Halo simultaneously. In first stage, this paper performs cross-independence test found cross-sectional dependence ca...
