The energy needs of India have increased many folds in recent years due to industrialization and ever-increasing population. Wind energy offers excellent opportunities in fulfilling the energy needs of the country. Being renewable, it has enormous resource potential. Since the last decade, the...

Most recent research on flywheel rotors has focused on high-speed composite rotors as the storage element of the flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Literature research indicates that this is primarily due to the high specific energy of composites compared to metals. However, a quantitative...

Biomass fuel properties determine the choice of agricultural waste to be used in production of briquette for industrial and domestic usage. Compaction of these agro-wastes would add more values to their bulk handling, conveyance and storage properties. This work determined the effect of...

The manufacturing process of renewable energy components involves some conventional energy at different steps. It is then clear that the fabrication of the components of a renewable energy system will emit an amount of greenhouse gas(GHG). The work carried out in this paper is based on...

An oleaginous yeast, Cryptococcus sp., was isolated from a traditional Korean fermented fish and used for bio-oil production with banana peel as a feedstock. Pretreatment of banana peel with 1% sulfuric acid resulted in up to 4.5 g L-1 of glucose (11.2% yield), and 18.1 g L-1 of fructose (45.2%...

Increasing Renewable Energy Sources (RES), impact the power system. Moreover, the system equilibrium and stability are difficult because constant generation cannot be generated from RES concerning conventional energy sources. This paper studies the effect of RES on the power system through the...

We use a panel data set of 193 countries over 1990-2017 period, by employ the Seemingly unrelated regression (SUR), three stage least squares regression (3SLS), dynamic model two-step generalized method of moments and two-step system generalized method of moments approach to investigate the...

The 2016 Paris Agreement (UNFCCC Authors, 2015) is the latest of initiative to create an international consensus on action to reduce GHG emissions. However, the challenge of meeting its targets lies mainly in the intimate relationship between GHG emissions and energy production, which in turn...

Iran has become one of the most CO2 emitting countries during the last decades. The country ranks after Japan and Germany in terms of CO2 emissions. However, from an economic viewpoint, the gross domestic product (GDP) of Iran is lower than the summation of Berlin and Tokyo GDP. Moreover, a...

Due to the depletion of petroleum products and fatal emissions from the tailpipe of diesel engines it has become a need to seek for the alternative of petroleum products for long-term use. Currently, researchers and experts have come to the conclusion that biodiesel along with higher alcohols...
