Comparing recent views of public attitude on wind energy, photovoltaic and small hydro applications

Kaldellis, J.K.; Kapsali, M.; Kaldelli, El.; Katsanou, Ev. - In: Renewable Energy 52 (2013) C, pp. 197-208

As renewable energy projects have gradually been introduced in various forms and in many places around the world, public skepticism on these developments has emerged and siting decisions have, in several cases, been determined by intense conflicts and debate. In this context, the present study...

PVTEC photovoltaic activity and its integrations to buildings

Wakamatu, Seiji; Nitta, Yoshiteru - In: Renewable Energy 8 (1996) 1, pp. 462-466

For dissemination and promotion of photovoltaic power generation systems, it is important to reduce power generation cost because the cost is very expensive compared with conventional power generation methods. The cost of building materials integrated PV modules can be at least partially...

Increasing the technical and economic performance of wind diesel systems by including fresh water production

Bindner, Henrik; Lundsager, Per - In: Renewable Energy 9 (1996) 1, pp. 887-890

In many remote regions of the world there is a lack of both electricity and potable water. In order to increase the standard of living and thus maintain the population both power and water have to be supplied at reasonable prices. A good option at many of these places are wind diesel systems of...

Domestic integration of micro-renewable electricity generation in Ireland – The current status and economic reality

Li, Zhe; Reynolds, Anthony; Boyle, Fergal - In: Renewable Energy 64 (2014) C, pp. 244-254

characteristics of wind and solar energy. In this paper, a micro-renewable electricity-generation-system integration technique … the integration to eliminate systems that cannot provide sufficient energy from renewable energy resources. The … integration technique is applied to find the optimal system, under current Irish conditions, that can be formed from six sample …

Dispatch modeling of a regional power generation system – Integrating wind power

Göransson, Lisa; Johnsson, Filip - In: Renewable Energy 34 (2009) 4, pp. 1040-1049

A modeling tool has been developed which can be used to analyze interaction between intermittent wind power generation and thermal power plant generation in a regional electricity grid system. The model uses a mixed integer programming (MIP) approach to determine the power plant dispatch...
