With the growing need for sustainable energy solutions in urban areas, a strategic integration of energy supply, public transport modernization, and energy demand reduction for residential and commercial buildings has become crucial. While numerous efforts have showcased technological...

To address climate change, most world energy systems must convert to carbon-free sources including variable sources such as solar and wind power. Currently there are few examples of such systems, and their economics are not well understood. In this study we consider how much energy efficiency...

Data centres (DCs) are large electricity consumers, estimated to account for around 1% of worldwide electricity usage. They release excess heat (EH) during the operation, which can be recovered in district heating (DH) networks. DCs are expected to satisfy the rising demand for digital services....

The Cameroon electricity sector is currently plagued by inadequate generation capacity. The electricity supply deficit has had dire consequences on attaining the country's industrialization, socioeconomic and developmental objectives enshrined in her Vision 2035. However, there are sustainable...

In this study, the actual operation status of the cogeneration model was investigated to examine the difference between the theoretical evaluation and the field operation situation. The adequacy of the installed capacity of the cogeneration system was assessed by using in-house developed...

The state of the Ghana Power System reflects a story of progress, challenges, and future potential. Ghana has experienced significant milestones and achievements in its power system, including the development of major infrastructure projects such as the Akosombo Dam and initiatives to expand...

Increasing electrical energy consumption during peak hours leads to increased electrical energy losses and the spread of environmental pollution. For this reason, demand-side management programs have been introduced to reduce consumption during peak hours. This study proposes an efficient energy...

South Korea has potential in developing large-scale pig-farming practices. However, poorly designed facilities and ventilation structures lead to production losses and energy inefficiency. This study examines energy efficiency in pig houses by establishing a heating, ventilation, and...

Decarbonising the energy sector is crucial to reach future climate and energy goals. As established by the Energy Performance of Building Directive recast, Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) are the mandatory building target in Europe for all new buildings from 2021 onwards. In the light of...

This study examined the impact of movement control order (MCO) due to the COVID-19 pandemic on Household Electrical Appliance Consumption Levels [HEACL] across Malaysia before, during and after the MCO, and the likelihood of the pandemic quickening household conduct towards use of energy saving...
