This paper investigates the frequency deviation and stability analysis of a small isolated power system in response to various load levels and demand penetration of unit generators. From the analysis an optimal generation unit commitment strategy is presented in terms of system operation and...

In a region characterized by low water resources, Lebanon stands as an exceptional country in the Middle East. Several waterways present ample opportunity for utilization of hydropower. Before the civil war, several projects were undertaken to generate electricity through hydropower. A total...

In this paper artificial neural networks (ANN) are addressed in order the Greek long-term energy consumption to be predicted. The multilayer perceptron model (MLP) has been used for this purpose by testing several possible architectures in order to be selected the one with the best generalizing...

The Global Geothermal Energy Database of the International Geothermal Association (IGA) is an internet-based platform providing access to the world geothermal production data. This platform is unique for the geothermal sector, and provides an excellent tool for showing geothermal use in the...

This article shows that the unfavorable context of emergence, as well as neo-corporatism, limited the weight of wind energy in France and Quebec and delayed the project development and the wind industry as a whole. Indeed, the level of political will to wind energy development in both...

The article presents the principled model for managing the selection of wind power generation technologies enabling business organizations to transform rationally their fossil fuel-based business models towards greater renewable energy reliance. The model is aimed at complex improvement of...
