The energy crisis during the 1970s sparked the development of renewable energy sources and energy conservation measures. As supply eventually met demand, these programs were scaled back. Ten years later, the hazards of pollution led to work on minimisation and reversal of the environmental impact of fossil fuel extraction, transport and consumption [1]. The United States Department of Energy pr...

Abstract In order to study energy consumption in Iran's agricultural sector, a Genetic algorithm concept was used to calculate significant factors affecting energy consumption between 1974 and 2008. Then, durability or "stability" of variables was assessed through econometric method (Augmented Dickey-Fuller test). In addition, long-term and short-term relationships of energy consumption were es...

Global discussions involving the enhancement of renewable energy use frequently highlight the European Union “Triple 20” deal as the main large-scale effort aimed at changing the worldwide pattern of fossil fuel consumption to power economic activities. Actually, the targets of carbon emissions reduction and increase in the use of renewable energy before 2020 symbolize an extraordinary attempt ...

In the science of operation research and decision theory, selection is the most important process. Selection is a process that studies multiple qualitative and quantitative criteria, related to the science of management, which are mostly incompatible with each other. The multi criteria selection of a renewable energy portfolio is one of the main issues considered in multi criteria literatur...

This study addresses the research question of how renewable and non-renewable energy consumption (EC) affects economic growth (GDP) in Pakistan over a period 1972-2015. The extends basic production function having labor capital as mainstream variables by adding major sources Pakistan. results Toda-Yamamoto Granger causality test confirm that no exists between GDP force bidirectional gross forma...

With the rapid development of cloud computing, the power consumption of datacenters is getting much higher in recent years. Renewable energy becomes promising as the power supply for datacenters since it helps to greatly save the consumption of traditional power resources. In order to improve the utilization of renewable energy in data centers, we proposed several adaptive scheduling algorithms...

The energy consumption of Data Centers (DCs) is a very important figure for the telecommunications operators, not only in terms of cost, but also in terms of operational reliability. A relation between the energy consumption and the weather conditions would indicate that weather forecast models could be used for predicting energy consumption of DCs. A reliable forecast would result in a more ef...
