Solar energy utilization has evolved tremendously in many countries to compete with conventional energy sources due to abundant availability, ongoing module price declines, and efficiency gains. Besides these advantages, most solar power plants continue to underperform due to various technical...

Green credit plays a pivotal role in maintaining a balance between energy demand and the transition to low-carbon energy sources while considering energy conservation, emission reduction and the 'dual carbon' goal strategies. The SE-SBM model and the spatial Durbin model were used in this study...

This study reexamines the spillover effects of CO2, the marginal impacts of renewable energy, and economic growth in 29 countries in Europe using the spatial panel econometric analysis from 2000 to 2020. The study first employed the pooled OLS, random effects, and fixed effects from the...

To address global climate change, many countries are reducing CO2 emissions and replacing conventional energy resources with alternative ones. When developing national energy plans, it is essential to investigate public perspectives on the relationship between renewable and other energy...

Due to its randomness, intermittence, and volatility, the high-proportional integration of wind and solar power poses challenges to the safe and stable operation of power systems. Cascade hydropower stations have a high response speed, high adjustability, and stable output. This study proposed a...

The transition towards smart grid introduces the potential for revolutionary changes in the present energy management systems. It provides the grid with the necessary functionalities to transform into a decentralized energy system, and integrate large-scale variable renewable energy sources with...

The state of the Ghana Power System reflects a story of progress, challenges, and future potential. Ghana has experienced significant milestones and achievements in its power system, including the development of major infrastructure projects such as the Akosombo Dam and initiatives to expand...

The Benin energy sector faces serious challenges, including an unfavorable energy mix with regular power shortages, erratic power outages, reliance on electricity imports, and dependence on traditional cooking stoves. This study has investigated strategies critical for Benin to employ to achieve...
