The use of renewable energies, especially in metropolises has led to a reduction in environmental pollution and greater access to clean, renewable and sustainable energy. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a national plan adopted by the Tehran city council for reducing air pollutions. This plan is designed to increase the share of renewable energies in residential buildings. This study a...

This paper presents an approach in support of spatial planning for renewable energy at the regional level. It aims to establish an elaborate and informative procedure, as well as integrated quantification and visualization, to support decision making. The proposed approach is composed of a set of sequential steps that include primary energy consumption estimation, renewable energy potential est...

This research investigates the co-movement and causality relationships between greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and economic growth for 16 Asian countries over the period 1990-2012. The empirical findings suggest that in the long run, bidirectional Granger causality between energy consumption, GDP and greenhouse gas emissions and between GDP, greenhouse gas emissions and energy cons...

The Philippines has one of the highest electricity prices in Asia. Contributing factors to these are short supply domestic coal and oil resources, high cost imported coal, lack pursuit renewable energy. This paper looks into causal relationship between energy consumption economic growth Philippines. It identified if a Granger causality exists variables GDP per capita, capita nonrenewable capita...

geothermal investors need to be confident with the methods and results of exploration programs. also cutting the upfront cost of geothermal exploration will further encourage investors to consider investment in this emerging clean energy field. hence, it is of paramount importance to improve prospecting techniques in order to explore where economic concentrations of geothermal energy are to be ...

the renewable energy sources and plug-in electric vehicles (pevs) are becoming very popular because of the combination of high fuel costs and concerns about emission issues. this paper presents modelling and control of a building integrated fuel cell and plug-in electric vehicles (bifc-pev) in smart distribution systems. in bifc-pev system, conventional building elements could be replaced by sp...

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...

introduction energy analysis of agricultural ecosystem is essential for sustainable production. the relation between agriculture and energy is very close. agriculture is an energy consumer and the energy supplier. agriculture’s use of energy is recognized in three external inputs: labor, machines, and fertilizers (connor et al., 2011). significant gains in energy efficiency were arisen in agric...

This topical issue collects contributions to the interdisciplinary study of power grid stability in face of increasing volatility of energy production and consumption due to increasing renewable energy infeed and changing climatic conditions. The individual papers focus on different aspects of this field and bring together modern achievements from various disciplines, in particular complex syst...

Large-scale deployment of renewables in island energy systems attracts local attention of grid operators as a way of reducing fuel fossil consumption. Planning a grid based on renewable power plants poses serious challenges to the normal operation of a power system, namely on frequency and voltage stability. In past grid code compliance, wind turbines did not require services for supporting gri...
