The paper aims at analysing the energy performance of an innovative multi-source energy system for residential small-scale combined heat and power (CHP) applications. The integrated system is based on an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) fuelled by biodiesel, a wind turbine, and a photovoltaic unit....

Optimal sizing with energy management strategy as a transition pathway towards a sustainable 100% renewable energy-based microgrid is investigated in this paper. Due to the challenges of intermittency of renewable energy, microgrid operations are complicated. Hence, in order to overcome some of...

In this article, a comparative analysis is made between three statistical methods (Taguchi's Orthogonal Array Testing method, Monte Carlo and Two-Point method) by integrating the uncertainty of primary sources of renewable generation in systems of electric power. The modeling of the Institute of...

We examine how different renewable energy support policies affect innovation in solar and wind power technologies. The analysis is conducted using policy and patent data for a large sample of 194 countries and territories. The policy data allows distinguishing two dimensions of regulation, i.e....
