A decarbonized global energy sector is expected to need cumulative investments in the tens to hundreds of trillions of dollars between now and 2050. Due to its size, the current climate-business environment is therefore prone to corruption risks. Yet such corruption risks are rarely explored...

Wind energy is one of the leading forms of non-hydro renewable energy sources in the world. Russia ranks among the top countries with vast wind energy resources and among the top CO2 producers as well. Simultaneously, the utilization of wind energy is extremely low compared to other CO2 emitting...

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....

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...

This study bridges the current research gap by exploring the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the renewable energy sector in Bangladesh through the OLI and TCE theories. Based on semi-structured interviews with 13 experts, it investigates the determinants of firms'...

An increase in market concentration (MC), which refers to a large share of few and large firms in a given sector, is a main concern for governments all over the world since it is believed to affect competition levels and, thus, lead to inefficiencies. It has also captured the attention of...

Latin America is one of the regions most vulnerable to the effects of climate variability on hydropower generation. Hydropower is the backbone of the Latin-American power system and a key technology for ensuring low-carbon power generation in the region. Despite its importance, our understanding...

Hybrid energy production from available resources such as wind and solar are identified as an environmentally friendly alternative for power production. Australia, as a developed country, possesses the potential to use renewable energies. Motivated by the lack of comprehensive research dedicated...

In order to efficiently mitigate greenhouse gas emissions at the global level, renewables have emerged to help build a less carbon-intensive and more sustainable energy system worldwide. The competition between renewables and conventional fossil fuel power technologies remains critical for...

Most publicly available wind data are aggregated to a temporal resolution of 30 or 60 min. This is adequate for some purposes, such as large-scale wind integration studies. However, the consequent loss of high-frequency power fluctuations from the data can significantly impact analysis on local...
