Renewable electricity development has taken different paths across countries. With few exceptions, the recent literature has focused on different policy frameworks for renewable energy development, for example, the differences between feed-in tariffs (FIT) and renewable portfolio standards (RPS). This study brings politics back in to the study of renewable energies. Feed-in tariffs, renewable p...

in the recent years, renewable energy sources are an important component of world energy consumption. gdp is one of the main measures of a country’s economic activity. most of the studies examine the impact of renewable energy consumption on gdp with single equation model and the others use dynamic panel data. since the granger causality analysis’s findings of this paper establish bidirectional...

Energy plays an active role in sustainable development in Iran, both in the sustainable and the development aspects. This study aims to estimate the nexus of economic growth and the renewable energy in Iran during 1981-2012. We employ the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to estimate a log-linear equation. The results suggest that renewable energy consumption is an insignificant driv...

Renewable energy policies address two market externalities at the same time as they (1) internalize the environmental cost of conventional energy production (GHG emissions and air pollution) and (2) appropriate earnings from learning-by-doing in the renewable energy

-Renewable energy has become the prime source of clean and pure form of energy. With the prevailing energy crisis non-conventional energy has become the solution to it. Harnessing wind energy by several wind turbines is commonly done using various types of rotors. But nowadays Seep twist adaptive rotor blades are used to increase annual energy capture of baseline turbine by 5%-10% without excee...

Recently, environmental issues have been the focus of much of the world’s attention. This has stimulated a response in many countries, which has led to a closer examination of energy conservation strategies for conventional fossil fuels. One way of reducing building energy consumption is to design buildings, which are more economical in their use of energy for: heating, lighting, cooling, venti...

Given the constantly raising world-wide energy demand and the accompanying increase in greenhouse gas emissions that pushes the progression of climate change, the possibly most important task in future is to find a carbon-low energy supply that finds the right balance between sustainability and energy security. For renewable energy generation, however, especially the second aspect turns out to ...

Conventional power systems have been planned with dispatchable generation using deterministic planning and operating methods and tools since the inception of the industry, with little exception. It now appears that the future power system will need to successfully integrate a high share of non-dispatchable renewable energy whose production exhibits much greater variability and uncertainty than ...
