In this study, achievements, potentials and perspectives for renewable energy sources in the North African upper zone have been investigated. The renewable sources of energy, mainly solar, wind, biomass and geothermal, have been identified. Renewable energies were shown to have a promising...

With the increase in energy demand and the international drive to reduce carbon emission from fossil fuel, there has been a drive in many oil-rich countries to diversify their energy portfolio and resources. Libya is currently interested in utilising its renewable energy resources in order to...

A model to explain and predict market-driven investment in renewable energy capital is proposed. The model is suitable for application to the biomass, wind, solar and ocean-derived energy industries. It basically assumes that, given a set of prices and a specific technology, the marginal...

In order to demonstrate a complementary relationship between solar energy and wind energy, the authors proposed the WISH(Wind and Solar Hybrid) type windmill. The flexible amorphous photovoltaic modules are attached to the buckets of Savonius type windmill.

Recent success in the installation of renewable energy is largely due to public financial incentives. Data reported in this article show the incessant growth of renewable energy implementation and the key process for achieving the complete replacement of mixed electric generation in the European...

In the absence of any likely international law in the near future to impose comprehensive obligations on nations to take action to promote renewable energy or energy conservation, such action will be required at national level. This paper proposes a generic legislative framework for the control...
