Effectively mitigating the increasing energy demand sector emissions is seriously considered in China. Under the continuous motivation of the Chinese government, the cumulative installed solar PV capacity in China has occupied 32.63 % of the global in 2019. Unfortunately, a large amount of...

High daytime electricity demand from space cooling synergetic with predictable and reliable solar insolation creates a unique opportunity to exploit solar PV-enabled decarbonization solutions in Qatar. This paper examines the economic viability of combining utility-scale PV with ice thermal and...

A weather-driven model is used to investigate the requirements for the backup generation (annual energy, power capacity and flexibility) in a power system with different penetrations of wind, solar photovoltaics, and hydroelectricity. The impact of interannual variability is assessed by using 26...

This paper surveys the literature relevant for comparing centralized and decentralized wholesale electricity markets. Under a centralized design, producers submit detailed cost data to the system operator the day before delivery, who then decides how much to produce for each generation unit....

In this research, a case study of International Energy Agency Technology Collaboration Programmes, one of the longest operating global energy technology cooperation approaches, is undertaken. Based on logical framework approach, critical factors were identified leading to positive outcomes in...

The East African Community EAC (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan) is still challenged by energy poverty for its socio-economic development. A continuous and fast growing energy demand is expected in this region due to varied factors, such as; high population growth-rate,...

Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area (GKMA) is Uganda's capital facing increasing pressures to raise electricity generation and also mitigate CO2 emissions. A low-carbon electrification of the GKMA energy policy is proposed for sustainability. But the macroeconomic effects of this policy are...

China offers the Global Energy Interconnections (GEI) as a planetary project to deliver sustainable development and climate action through large-scale energy transition by interconnecting most of the world's grids. What does this mean for Southeast Asian countries' regional quest for greater...

Wind energy is one of the leading forms of non-hydro renewable energy sources in the world. Russia ranks among the top countries with vast wind energy resources and among the top CO2 producers as well. Simultaneously, the utilization of wind energy is extremely low compared to other CO2 emitting...
