India is aiming at achieving a major shift in energy production and provision from a fossil fuel-based economy to one focussing on clean energy. As a financially constrained context, the move to the use of renewable energy is happening also through foreign investment and centres mostly on...

The unreliable power supply, high cost of electricity and non-payment of electricity bills among the state-owned hospitals in Ghana badly affects health services delivery. Meanwhile, hospitals can obtain reliable electricity and reduce their bills using rooftop solar PV systems technology, yet...

Malaysia aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, addressing climate change by transitioning to low-carbon electricity. With the power sector contributing 36 % of carbon emissions in 2019, solar photovoltaic (PV) is a key solution, given Malaysia's abundant sunshine. While government roadmaps...

The use of renewable energy, such as solar power, has the potential to mitigate the negative impacts of fossil fuel consumption. West Java Province holds significant potential for solar-based electricity development. This study aims to estimate hourly solar radiation, addressing extreme...

Canada has set a target to become net zero by 2050. One of the key pathways for achieving this goal and supporting electrified demand is to expand variable renewable energy capacities. Such integration requires flexibility measures to respond to inherited variability, such as a reactive...

This study introduces an approach to improving the utilization of solar energy in facilities by integrating advanced machine learning (ML) techniques into solar power scheduling. Traditional methods, often constrained by static schedules, fail to adequately adapt to the inherently dynamic and...

Renewables-based mini-grids have the potential to improve electricity access with lower emissions and better reliability than national grids. However, these systems have a challenging cost to revenue ratio, hindering their implementation. Combining residential loads with an anchor load, a...

India, mainly powered by coal, has adopted ambitious renewable energy targets and currently considers a climate neutrality target for 2050. The rapid growth of solar PV power faces challenges due to its variable generation resulting in a decline in its economic value. In this paper, we evaluate...

Despite the growth rates of photovoltaic solar parks, their potential to alter land surface temperature remains unclear. Yet, resolving temperature impacts is pivotal to understanding the implications for ecosystem function, and the consequences for society due to perturbations to ecosystem...

CO2-Plume Geothermal (CPG) technologies are geothermal power systems that use geologically stored CO2 as the subsurface heat extraction fluid to generate renewable energy. CPG technologies can support variable wind and solar energy technologies by providing dispatchable power, while Flexible CPG...
