“…Regarding the life expectancy window, improved life expectation creates hope and aspirations that spur consumption, an increase in consumption will, in turn, drive up the supply window, hence improving the generation capacity of electricity in Nigeria [60]. In terms of governance structure, good governance structure will create an enabling environment that will stimulate the electricity generation capacity of the economy [51][52][53].…”

“…The study noted that governance structure is key to the success of any electricity generation plant in South Africa. In a related development, the authors of [52] observed that socio-cultural and political structures impact the success of electricity projects in Papua New Guinea. The study noted that the dichotomy between Western-style formal governance models adopted after independence and the culturally attuned informal governance model negatively alters the ability to effectively generate appropriate electricity in the studied economy.…”

This study examines the link between energy (using electricity generation as a proxy) and sustainable economic growth alongside the mediating role of salient socio-political factors, such as education, life expectancy, government effectiveness, and governance structure, among others, based on data about the Nigerian economy from 1980 to 2022. We employed a battery of econometric techniques, ranging from unit root tests to autoregressive distributed lag bound tests for cointegration and a modified version of the Granger causality test proposed by Dumitrescu and Hurlin. We also employed general-to-specific estimation techniques to examine the possibility of substituting renewable and non-renewable energy sources. Our results suggest a bi-directional Granger causality between electricity generation and sustainable economic growth. This supports the validity of the feedback hypothesis, suggesting that electricity and sustainable economic growth are interdependent. Our results further revealed that socio-political factors significantly impact electricity generation. The results of our general-to-specific estimation techniques suggest that no possibility of substitution exists between the two main energy sources in Nigeria. This has some key policy implications.

“…

Electricity plays a crucial role in socioeconomic prosperity. [1] With power demand increasingly growing and power generated from renewables continuing to rise, there will be an increase in the difference between peak and valley power capacities. [2] Energy storage technologies can store surplus electrical energy (using various media or devices) during low electricity demand periods and release the stored energy during peak load periods, thereby solving the time mismatch between electricity supply and demand.

Compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology has attracted growing attention because of the demand for load shifting and electricity cost reduction in energy‐intensive industries. To increase the round‐trip efficiency and energy storage density and simplify the structure of advanced adiabatic CAES (AA‐CAES) systems, a waste heat‐assisted CAES (WH‐CAES) design integrating a tube‐in‐tube thermal energy storage unit and an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is described herein. Thermodynamic models of the proposed WH‐CAES system are established, and the effects of waste heat temperature, ratio of compression ratios, ratio of expansion ratios, and air storage cavern pressure on the performance of different systems, including AA‐CAES and WH‐CAES with and without ORC, are investigated. The results show that when the waste heat temperature is 500 °C, the input work of the compressors reaches its minimum value at a ratio of compression ratios of 1.14, and the optimal ratio of expansion ratios is 0.39. Under these optimal operating conditions, compared with the AA‐CAES system, the round‐trip storage efficiency, energy storage density, and system energy efficiency of the WH‐CAES system can be increased significantly. The findings validate the potential of the proposed WH‐CAES system.
