A microgrid, regarded as one of the cornerstones of the future smart grid, uses distributed generations and information technology to create a widely distributed automated energy delivery network. This paper presents a review of the microgrid concept, classification and control strategies....

Although there are many studies on the social welfare of renewable energy, the systematic study of the impact of renewable energy on life expectancy is relatively rare. Aiming at filling the research gap, we incorporate renewable energy consumption, economic growth, and life expectancy into a...

Exploring pathways for transitioning to clean energy to achieve climate change mitigation goals is essential. Addressing the economic impact of decarbonization options requires strategic planning to determine cost-effective CO2 mitigation strategies. The assessment of marginal CO2 abatement cost...

This paper delves into identifying the optimal scenario for the implementation of micro-turbines, specifically Pump-as-Turbines (PaTs), in a water distribution network (WDN) by achieving the highest consensus among the involved stakeholders. Utilising a simulations-optimisation model, the best...
