The use of renewable energy resources in Greece
Energy policy is a key issue for economic and environmental policies nowadays. Indeed, energy is an indispensable element for economic development while, on the other hand, it causes severe environmental problems. In this context, a force for utilising renewable energy resources and for energy saving has emerged and been expanded in the last years. As a result, the energy policy is reoriented ...

Renewable energy and energy-saving initiatives in Greece: policy and experience
Energy policy is a key issue for economic and environmental policies. Indeed, energy is an indispensable element for economic development while, on the other hand, it causes severe environmental problems. In this context, a pressure for using renewable energy resources and for energy saving has emerged and expanded in recent years. As a result, energy policy is being reoriented under the new ...

Studies on the potential role of different energy sources in the 21st century
The paper describes studies on long-term energy development using the 10-region World Energy Model. Several scenarios of external conditions for energy development are considered. Special attention is paid to the influence of constraints on CO2 emissions and moratorium on nuclear energy use. Terms of depletion of cheap non-renewable energy resources and introduction of synthetic fuels as well as ...

Sustainable development with renewable energy resources: a review
The most visible effects of the sustainable development movement are found in several global issues such as the greenhouse effect, stratospheric ozone depletion, and loss of biodiversity. Combustion of fossil fuels and global warming are closely associated with each other. There is an urgent need to replace fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Renewable energy is one of the few means by ...

SHP stations and integrated rural development: a multivariate statistical approach
The multi-functional role of the rural space is gradually being enhanced in recent decades, as agriculture seems to be losing its leading position. The diversification of local economies through the exploitation of natural resources is being highlighted as a fundamental driving force for development. Renewable Energy Resources (RES) and, more specifically, the establishment of Small Hydropower ...

Optimum use of renewable energy resources to generate electricity via hybrid system
The necessity of hybrid energy system is gaining more importance day by day as it incorporates two or more than two renewable energy resources that when integrated overcome limitations inherent in either. Hybrid energy system has been seen as an excellent solution for electrification of rural place where the grid extension is difficult and economically not feasible. Such system may consist of ...

Renewable energy from the ocean and tides: A viable renewable energy resource in search of a suitable regulatory framework
Ocean energy technology involves a range of engineering technologies that are able to obtain energy from the ocean using a variety of conversion mechanisms. Over the past few years there has been significant progress towards the development of commercial scale operations of ocean energy, especially hydrokinetic energy (where the energy of ocean (or fluvial) currents and tides is captured by ...

Structure-preserving dynamical model and distributed stabilisation of electricity infrastructures with renewable energy resources
This paper introduces a module-based approach to modelling and controlling electricity infrastructure with a high penetration of distributed renewable energy resources. Each energy-converting component is defined as a module and is represented in terms of its local variables and the interaction variables between the module and the transmission network. The structure of the electricity ...

Optimal environmental benefits of utilising alternative energy technologies in Jordan
With rapid population growth and increase in industrial activities, more energy is consumed, resulting in environmental pollution and economic difficulties. Therefore, the need for utilising renewable energy resources has emerged. Although Jordan does not have adequate fuel supplies (90% of its crude oil is imported), it is gifted with alternative resources. Because of the political and ...

Rural electrification through renewable energy in Nepal
Nepal is rich in hydropower. However, due to various constraints the rural sector of Nepal is still deprived of a national electrical grid. Renewable energy resources are the most viable and accessible sources to electrify these rural sectors. Micro-hydro and solar photovoltaics (PV) are widely used renewable energies for rural electrification. Presently, this source provides electricity to only ...

Avian Flight Concerns Are Legitimate
With the influx of renewable energy resources being utilized across the world, naturalists have been investigating the potential effects such projects may have on wildlife. Some studies, particularly those centering on avian species, are showing that large solar arrays do in fact affect birds and their flight patterns. Large Panel Fields It comes down to the placement of large solar panel ...

Going Solar? How It Works and How Much It Costs
If you're looking for ways to cut your home's energy costs, solar power is a clean, abundant, and renewable energy resource to consider. While solar energy from the sun is free, installing a solar energy system can be a costly investment. But with the growing financing options, tax benefits, and reduced cost to install residential solar systems, more people are looking to the sun to power their ...

A primogenius study on characterisation of c-Si solar cell
The use of solar photovoltaic (PV) as distributed energy resources is increasingly being pursued as a supplement and alternative to conventional grid electricity. It has become an important source of energy because of its high reliability, requirement of very little maintenance and capability of generating power with no noise and emissions. Silicon solar cell as renewable energy resource has ...

CHP Goes Green Project - Case Study
The driving forces seen behind the project “CHP goes Green” are on the one hand the limited energy resources in general, as well as the limitation of biomass resources, and on the other hand the need to increase the use of renewable energy resources in the conventional heat supply as well as to increase the share of heat supplied by cogeneration. The advantage of the use of biomass in ...
