A government plan was announced to expand the share of renewable energy to 20 percent by 2030 in Korea and to construct additional pumped hydro storage (PHS) to prepare for the uncertainty of renewable generation. However, due to the distortion of the Korean electricity market, pumped storage...

The purpose of this study is to assess the policy-relevant effects of incorporating a more proper representation of electricity transmission in multi-sector national policy models. This goal is achieved by employing the KAPSARC Energy Model (KEM), which is the first publicly available...

Afghanistan is a major country in the central Asian region and its ability to become a bridge between south and central Asia is critical to any form of development and inter-regional collaboration particularly in the energy sector. History has not been kind to Afghanistan and it is a less...

Ensuring sustainability in electrical power generation is a major concern in the modern world. Reducing energy depletion from power generation can reduce emissions and contribute to sustainability. Exergy analysis can be used to assess and optimize energy systems and thus can help achieve...

Energy recovery and electricity generation from abattoir wastes was investigated with the aim of combating both energy crises and environmental pollution problems. Anaerobic digestion was carried out in a two 10 L batch digesters for about 30 days under mesophilic condition. Biogas volume was...

The need to decarbonize economic production processes is undeniable and has been considered by most countries worldwide. Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) technologies appear among the most promising routes to the decarbonization process. We propose an...

Fossil fuels are exhaustible and their consumption causes environmental problems. As a result, renewable energy resources, specifically solar energy, should be utilized more to overcome the aforementioned issues. The biggest problem with renewable energy utilization is that their capital cost is...

In order to achieve the transformations required to realize sustainable development, the use of modern renewable energy has to increasingly take primacy. Biogas technology is one of listed modern RETs but despite its early introduction in Uganda, its adoption rate remains very low amidst high...

Energy transitions aim at economic prosperity through "green-collar" job-creation, greater energy "independence", and/or reduced emissions. These objectives imply creating policy-supported national renewable technology industries, ideally reducing clean energy costs to a point where support...

In this study, a Concentrated Photovoltaic/Thermal (CPV/T) air collector has been designed and a prototype is produced. The purpose of this system is to meet the needs of heating and electricity of the building of application in cold winter days. The prototype which has been produced is tested...
