This paper determines and compares the cost of energy (COE) of various hybrid systems for several off-grid facilities in North and Far North regions of Cameroon by integrating renewable sources and/or storage with diesel generators. The estimated annual energy production by solar PV systems and wind turbines is also discussed. The aim is to study the application of a high penetration renewable ...

Renewable energy sources (RES) are very likely to continue the upward capacity trend witnessed in the past years. The reasons for adoption are varied and respond to both market pressures, influence of government intervention and a raised awareness of the consequences on the environment of the current generation fleet. The change from dispatchable generation to an environment in which Independen...

The increasing demand for services offered by cloud providers results in a large amount of electricity usage by their data center sites and a high impact on the environment. This has motivated many cloud providers to move towards using on-site renewable energy sources to partially power their data centers using sustainable sources. This way, they can reduce their reliance on brown electricity d...

Due to disperse nature of renewable energy resources (RES), electricity generation is often taking place in small scale but main drawback is power quality. So to improve power quality issues, integration of renewable energy into the utility grid can be done either at transmission level or the distribution level depending on the scale of generation. The renewable resources like solar energy, win...

In this paper a step-by-step approach is presented for the adoption of technologies designed to exploit hybrid renewable (solar, wind, biomass and small hydro) energy Systems at the rural level. It is centered around the establishment of rural energy centers to improve the basic living environment. In due course, the role of these centers is to be expanded to encompass agricultural, domestic, t...

Sustainable energy sources such as renewable energies are replacing dirty sources of energy in order to address the environmental challenges of the century. In order to operate data centres with renewable energies we have to mitigate their volatile and variable nature. In this paper, we present the Energy Adaptive Software Controller (EASC), a generic software controller and interface that deve...

The process of globalization, accelerated industrial development, continuous technological advancements, and the ever-growing global population are factors that contribute to increased utilization existing energy sources. However, fossil sources limited inadequate in face these developments. Consequently, countries have started seeking alternative sources, leading renewable This research aims h...
