This research discusses the implementation of a geographic information system (GIS) for the simultaneous discovery of multiple types of renewable energy sources. In particular, the GIS model analyzes wind, solar, and biomass potential within the greater southern Appalachian region, an area which...

Wind is a promising sustainable energy resource that can help in reducing the dependence on fossil fuels. Models and tools can be effectively used to assess the resource availability, the possible exploitation, and the environmental impact. The aim of this work is to propose an Environmental...

Worldwide, many electricity suppliers are faced with the challenge of trying to integrate intermittent renewables, notably wind, into their energy mix to meet the needs of those services that require a continuous supply of electricity. Solutions to intermittency include the use of rapid-response...

This paper presents the simulation and analysis of a system created by the combination of a wind turbine, an electrolyser and a fuel cell working together in order to provide constant electric energy supply over 1 year. The entire system is simulated according to two different operation...

Massive implementation of renewable energy resources is a key element to reduce CO2 emissions associated to electricity generation. Wind resources can provide an important alternative to conventional electricity generation mainly based on fossil fuels.

The system urea–sodium acetate trihydrate has been mentioned in the literature as an energy storage system. Due to its low melting point (30 °C), the system is not suitable for use in a hot climate. Modifying the system composition is shown in the present work through adding lead acetate...

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...

In the paper renewable energy resources in Poland were analysed and estimated. The following sources were taken into consideration: solar radiation, biomass including biogas, liquid and solid biofuels, geothermal, hydro and wind energy. Some technologies suitable for application in Polish...
