Die Beschleunigung der Energiewende ist erklärtes Ziel der Ampel-Koalition. Eine Schlüsseltechnologie ist die Photovoltaik (PV), die derzeit weltweit einen regelrechten Boom erlebt. Der Ampel-Monitor Energiewende des DIW Berlin zeigt: Auch in Deutschland hat der PV-Zubau stark Fahrt...

Successful decarbonization of the electricity sector hinges on the support of the public, which is at risk when electricity generation emits local externalities. This paper estimates the impact of wind turbine deployment on granular measures of revealed preferences for renewable electricity in...

The expansion of wind power has the potential to make a major contribution to the mitigation of climate change. While wind power generates positive externalities at the global level by reducing carbon dioxide, it also generates negative externalities at the local level, such as noise pollution...

This paper proposes a paradigm shift from price-based to quantity-based electricity subsidies, inspired by the characteristics of distributed generation technologies such as photovoltaics (PV solar). This approach, aimed at addressing the significant challenges in Mexico's electricity sector...

Many jurisdictions use net metering to record the power exchange between solar photovoltaic panels and the grid, thus valuing home production at the electricity retail rate. However, if over the billing period, production exceeds consumption, the surplus remains freely available for consumption....

Colombia faces several challenges to secure a reliable, affordable, and climate-friendly energy supply. Persistently low reserve-to-production ratios in oil and gas, together with advancing climate change, are putting the country’s energy system at risk. Heavily relying on hydro-power,...

This paper aims to understand what motivates the adoption of key renewable energy technologies (RET) in early adopter markets. Electrification of heat and transport, through the deployment of heat pumps, electric vehicles and solar photovoltaic panels, combined with renewable sources of...

The aim of this project is to design a solar thermal absorption air conditioning system that operates under UAE climate conditions. In absorption system, compressor which is normally used in conventional AC system, replaced by a chemical cycle that consists of a generator, absorber, pump, and...

Solar energy is vast, abundant, cost free, green renewable source of energy. Due to the aforementioned qualities, the world is today researching and exploring the most feasibly optimized way of harnessing this energy and solar tracking system is a result of this quest. This paper begins with a...

Electrification of heating, particularly with highly efficient heat pumps, is increasingly viewed as essential for reaching the targets of the Paris Climate Agreement. In China, rural heating has long represented a major contributor to local air pollution, poor indoor air quality, and...
