Most studies that examine -neutral, or near -neutral, power systems by using energy system models investigate Europe or the United States, while similar studies for other regions are rare. In this paper, we focus on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), where weather conditions, especially...

As the only clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient basic load energy, nuclear energy has been increasingly developed in major nuclear power nations around world. At the same time, nuclear energy also plays a positive role in responding to global climate change. After the Fukushima nuclear...

This paper analyzes patterns in the perception of nuclear power by leadership groups in South Korea, in order to establish the necessary foundation for the direction of effective communication pathways on this topic. The most important considerations for nuclear power policy in South Korea...

This study examines the potential impact of nuclear energy consumption on environmental sustainability in the context of economic globalization using FMOLS, DOLS and panel Granger causality tests with a panel of BRICS countries data for the period 1985-2020 based on the inverted U-curve...

It is analyzed for the energy pattern affected by the social matters of the disease trend where the epidemic behavior is significantly important to present the prospect especially for the epidemic of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this work, there are three kinds of data for the...

The purpose of the study is to investigate the technical and economic feasibility of hybrid solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT) power systems for environment-friendly electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at five different locations in China. The HOMER Pro 3.14 software using...

The current study intends to optimally design and carry out the economic and environmental assessment of a hybrid photovoltaic/biogas/diesel/battery (PV/BG/DG/battery) sustainable system to meet the electricity load of a village in Xuzhou, east China. HOMER (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple...

To mitigate the effects of climate change, the massive deployment of renewable energies is a key challenge in the near future. While for wind power plants, repowering is common practice to increase the energy yield, the early replacement of old photovoltaic (PV) modules with newer, more...

The contribution of fluctuating wind and solar energy sources to the German electrical energy demand has increased from 12% up to 40% within the last 10 years and leads to higher infrastructure requirements due to the different spatiotemporal characteristics of wind and solar energy generation....

With the increasing amount of building renovations in Austria, the potential increases for replacing conventional national gas heating systems with heat pumps (HP) and thereby reduce CO2 emissions particularly when combined with solar photovoltaics (PV). The Austrian subsidization scheme for HP...
