While several determinants of ICT usage has been investigated in the literature, the impact of access to electricity has been so far overlooked. In this paper, we rely on countrylevel data on the penetration rates of mobile telephony, Internet and smartphones, as well as average revenue per user...

Due to climate change and the increase in environmental awareness in the world, the concept of Green Supply Chain Management appeared. The concept is aimed at the reduction of several elements: energy, materials, the pollution and the waste in production and logistics processes. Power networks...

The penetration of renewable energy sources into power systems has been increasing to mitigate the concerns for the environment, global warming, and rising fuel prices. However, the variability and uncertainty of power output from renewable energy sources raise challenging issues for power...

Algeria has large territory which is around 2,382 million km with an average solar power of 2650 kWh/m2/year on more than 80 % of the total surface of country. Back in 2015, the Algerian government has adopted a program for electricity production with an objective to insert 13GW of photovoltaic...

Power systems networks are traditionally structured and engineered to effectively accommodate the effects of uncertainty and variability as regards energy demand and availability of resources. In order to transform the present carbon-intensive electricity generation system to one driven largely...
