Osmotic energy is one of the renewable energies. This osmotic energy source is easily obtainable all over the world where river water flows into the ocean or sea. In this article, Bahmanshir River in Iran which falls into the Persian Gulf was considered as selected place for modeling and design...

Non-conventional renewable energies have never played an important role in the Chilean energy generation system, mainly due to the economic barriers that actually exists on our country for the inclusion of these kinds of technologies. Nevertheless, the use of renewable energy system technologies...

Wind and solar resources are, by nature, spatially distributed and temporally variable. The process of siting generators that use these renewable resources and integrating them into the electricity system therefore raises different issues than the same process for combustion facilities does. A...

Russian renewable energy policy has undergone changes following an establishment of targets for installed capacity and power production using renewable energy sources and the introduction of new capacity based support scheme for renewable energy. The forecasted amount of future renewable power...

The area around Cape Estaca de Bares (the northernmost point of Iberia) presents a great potential for wave energy exploitation owing to its prominent position, with average deepwater wave power values exceeding 40kW/m. The newly available SIMAR-44 dataset, composed of hindcast data spanning 44...

Energy efficiency is a primary consideration when designing off-grid renewable energy systems including portable micro-grids. This study focuses on characterizing the potential benefits associated with using energy efficient exterior area lighting commonly associated with remote installations....

The present study investigates renewable energy analyzing the last twenty years of worldwide scientific production and the dynamics of interest around relevant policies in this direction. Based on a review on the role of knowledge development in technology transitions, we coupled bibliometric...

This paper presents a solar radiation forecast technique based on fuzzy and neural networks, which aims to achieve a good accuracy at different weather conditions. The accuracy of forecasted solar radiation will affect the power output forecast of grid-connected photovoltaic systems which is...

The use and development of renewable energy has become a major policy incentive in Taiwan. Some measures, promoting renewable energy, were previously instituted, but many legal and institutional barriers, hampering the development of renewable energy, remain; thus, it is necessary to encourage...

The paper presents a mathematical thermal model for steady state airflow inside a solar chimney power plant using modified Bernoulli equation with buoyancy effect and ideal gas equation. The study evaluates the use of constant density assumption across the solar chimney and compares it with more...
