Wind power generated by wind has non-schedule nature due to stochastic nature of meteorological variable. Hence energy business and control of wind power generation requires prediction of wind speed (WS) from few seconds to different time steps in advance. To deal with prediction shortcomings,...

Geospatial potential for harvesting wind energy is not an easy task to perform in conditions of deficiency of accurate data in remote and large areas (macro to medium locations). There are different methodologies available to identify the most suitable location for the installation of wind power...

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....

While Afghanistan's power sector is almost completely dependent on fossil fuels, it still cannot meet the rising power demand of this country. Deploying a combination of renewable energy systems with hydrogen production as the excess energy storage mechanism could be a sustainable long-term...

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...

A new multi-objective method called Multi-Objective Electric Charged Particles Optimization (MOECPO) is proposed to optimally place wind turbines and at the same time select their optimal heights in an extensive area of wind farm considering several scenarios. This method permits the...

This study analyses the assessment of the relative efficiency of electricity generation of 78 wind power companies in 12 selected European countries. The basic purpose is to identify the factors that improve the efficiency of wind power companies as important producers of renewable electricity....

For future low-carbon energy systems with high shares of renewable energy, temporal representation becomes the dominant factor that impacts the model outputs and analysis conclusions; therefore, relevant and complex modelling approaches are required. We present and apply specific methodology for...
