Renewable energy is one of the most popular topics in utilization of the electric energy resources. There are various types of alternative energy, which can be used as electrical energy. However, the suitableness of the green energy in a certain country is depending on some criteria such as...

Wind power potential of a location has to be assessed for its effective utilization. The objective of the present study is to assess the wind resource potential of the western Himalayan Indian state of Himachal Pradesh to identify potential sites along with providing inputs to policy makers for...

In recent years, wind energy utilization has become increasingly attractive on economic grounds. Wind turbines for electricity generation employ a proven technology, supply energy on a reliable and sustainable basis, and at good, windy sites may even be competitive with conventional sources of...

Pakistan is going through a severe energy crisis due to an increasing gap between demand and supply. Its current energy needs are heavily dependent upon conventional thermal power plants which mainly use oil and gas. In addition to the economic problems associated with importing oil for...

Wind energy conversion system (WECS) is interfaced with the utility system through power electronic converters which plays an important role in the integration of wind power into the electric grid. The main power quality disturbances due to integration of WECS to grid are variation in power and...

Electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy sources offer the potential to substantially decrease carbon emissions from both the transportation and power generation sectors of the economy. Mass adoption of EVs will have a number of impacts and benefits, including the ability to assist in the...

In this study, the wind energy potential and economic analysis in 13 locations are investigated using wind speed data measured at 10m height. From the collected data which are the daily, monthly and frequency profiles of the wind speed at these sites, the southern region of Algeria is found to...

India is a major future consumer of electric power due to the rapid economic growth and large population. In this article, the present state and perspectives of using various energy sources in India for electric power generation are depicted as well as the main tools for promoting their...

There is a progressive acceptance about the proposal of wind as an alternative source of energy to meet future global demand and significant reduction of environmental pollution. In this context, from design to decommission, safety doubtless represents an integral element of wind turbines. Based...
