Worldwide the demand for solar photovoltaics (PV) has increased significantly over the past decades. This was driven by a price reduction for solar PV systems. A two-stage least squares linear regression yields insights into the price sensitivity for residential customers in the U.S., and...

In renewable power generation, solar photovoltaic as clean and green energy technology plays a vital role to fulfill the power shortage of any country. Modeling, simulation and analysis of solar photovoltaic (PV) generator is a vital phase prior to mount PV system at any location, which helps to...

Entrepreneurs are often envisioned as small private start-up firms operating against all odds. Here, we investigate how in the context of the Triple Helix various entrepreneurs form communities and drive institutional and technological change. To theoretically shape a socialized view of...

The main aim of models has never been to provide numbers, but insights. Still, challenges prevail for modelers to use the best configuration of their models to provide helpful insights. In the case of energy system modelling, this becomes even more complicated due to increasing complexity of the...

The main purpose of this work is to establish and analyzedistinct scenarios for the evolution of the energy system of the island of Santiago in Cabo Verde in the long term, that is, within the time horizon of 2040. The LEAP (Long-Rang Energy Alternatives Planning) simulation tool was used to...

Domestic strategies for the Swiss energy system are likely to be affected by a range of uncertain global challenges, such as natural resource availability and depletion, international climate change policies, and global technology policies. We analyze technological choices for Switzerland under...

Die Vernetzung kommunikationsfähiger Geräte schreitet aktuell schnell voran und verspricht durch eine Ende-zu-Ende-Digitalisierung von Prozessen Effizienzgewinne und neue Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Die Verifizierung von Endgeräten ist insbesondere bei kritischen Infrastrukturen wie der...

Electrifying road-based long-haul transportation is an intricate task. Given the current state of battery technology, either the driving ranges of electric commercial vehicles (ECVs) are too short or high-capacity batteries are costly and so heavy that payloads are limited. An old, yet recently...

Discrete choice experiments have emerged as the state-of-the-art method for measuring preferences, but they are mostly used in cross-sectional studies. In seeking to make them applicable for longitudinal studies, our study addresses two common challenges: working with different respondents and...

Over the past few years, many public transport companies have launched pilot projects testing the operation of electric buses. The basic objective of these projects is to substitute diesel buses with electric buses within the companies’ daily operations. Despite an extensive media coverage,...
