Power systems networks are traditionally structured and engineered to effectively accommodate the effects of uncertainty and variability as regards energy demand and availability of resources. In order to transform the present carbon-intensive electricity generation system to one driven largely...

Isolated grid diesel-based systems have been a basic electricity system in islands in developing countries. Nevertheless, the increasing diesel price and the higher cost of diesel transport to a long distance to the remote islands make the diesel-based systems unsustainable. This study analyzes...

The rapid rise in greenhouse gas emissions have become a global concern catching the attention of policy makers and researchers all over the world. Fossil fuel combustion has been named as the major source of greenhouse gas emissions, meanwhile, studies focusing on fossil fuel impact on CO2...

Using the perceptions of a sample of 231 people from a Spanish region as a case study, this paper aims to respond to the increasing demand for measurement of economic, social and environmental performance of renewables implementation. First, from this information, the paper analyzes the...

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...

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...

Fossil fuels as the main energy source of every country now predicted will be ended no more than 40 years. Therefore, alternative fuel such as biofuel has been developed by many countries including Indonesia. Indonesia as one of the highest populated country and has wide areas of agriculture,...

This paper describes the design and implementation in real time of a nonlinear control for a wind energy conversion system (WECS). The Backstepping control has been implemented to improve the performance of the conversion system based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) connected...

In order to overcome the electricity demand in the country and in its effort to reduce the greenhouse gas emission and climate change, South African (SA) government is encouraging research in the field of renewable energy (RE). Higher educational institutions in each province are involve in...

The Indonesian archipelago has several suitable areas for building wind farms. In the site selection process, apart from wind intensity, there are other factors related to geographical and structural technicality that need to be considered. This research presents a hierarchical fuzzy data...
