“…Nevertheless, it must be noted that China takes its pollution problems very seriously and is making massive investments in electrical energy, vehicles, and transportation as well as production from renewable sources. 14 In Russia, energy consumption is still increasing, but CO 2 output is stabilizing. In the Middle East, fossil fuel-based electrification of infrastructures has led to an almost doubling of emissions since 1995.…”

Buildings account for ∼40% of global energy demands, and the increased adoption of innovative solutions for buildings represents an enormous potential to reduce energy demands and greenhouse gas emissions. Here, we critically review the current and future materials and solutions for the construction sector. We describe how policy affects innovative businesses and the adoption of new products and solutions. We investigate how the building envelope and user behavior determine building energy demands. Compared to conventional solutions, superinsulation materials (vacuum insulation panels, silica aerogel) can achieve the same thermal performance with drastically thinner insulation. With low-emissivity coatings and appropriate filler gasses, double and triple glazing reduces thermal losses by an order of magnitude. Vacuum and aerogel glazing reduce these even further. Switchable glazing solutions maximize solar gains during wintertime and minimize illumination demands whilst avoiding overheating in summer. Upon integration of renewable energy systems, buildings become both producers and consumers of energy. Combined with the dynamic user behavior, temporal variations in energy production require thermal and electrical storage and the integration of buildings into smart grids and energy district networks. The combination of these measures can reduce the energy consumption of the building's stock by a factor of three.

“…China has introduced many policy instruments to support the RET industry since the early 1980s. In this context, feed-in tariffs, financial subsidies like public R&D and investment incentives, and other forms of technological support emerged as favorable policy instruments [57]. The US has also employed many policy instruments since 1978.…”

“…These findings do not necessarily imply that a growth in exports cannot contribute to an increase in the dynamic efficiency of public policy and promote environmental policy efforts at all, but rather that, due to various factors, such contribution has not been significant. In reality, there are many relevant factors, such as public sector functioning, social conditions, and politics, which may affect the dynamic efficiency of public policy [57] and environmental policy efforts. In such a context, the findings of this study suggest that, at least in the short run, policymakers should make great efforts to understand the interaction between these relevant factors and the dynamic efficiency of public policy and environmental policy efforts by conducting various qualitative and quantitative studies.…”

This study examines how the dynamic efficiency of public policy influences the export performance of bioenergy technologies in the short and long run using panel data over the 1995-2012 period for 16 countries that are members of the OECD. Various dynamic panel framework tests to check data characteristics are performed. The study found evidence of co-movement among the series, and set up the panel vector error correction mechanism to evaluate the short-and long-run Granger-causality between the following variables: dynamic efficiency of public policy, export, and environmental policy stringency. This study highlighted positive effects of the dynamic efficiency of public policy and environmental policy efforts on exports in both the short and long run. This study proposes policy considerations based on its results.

“…The value of the capacitor is smaller than that of the capacitor designed in [8]- [10] (C f = 14.25 μF, 20 μF, 75 μF, respectively). The control objectives of the DG system in the present work are (1) to supply a sinusoidal output voltage at the load terminal (v inv ) in SA mode, (2) to transfer a sinusoidal grid current (i g ) to the UG in GC mode, and (3) to obtain a smooth transition between Critical-load Fig. 1.…”

Dual-mode photovoltaic power system should be capable of operating in grid-connected (GC) and stand-alone (SA) modes for distributed generation. Under different working modes, the optimal parameters of inverter output filters vary. Inverters commonly operate in GC mode, and thus, a small capacitance is beneficial to the GC topology for achieving a reasonable compromise. A predictive current control scheme is proposed to control the grid current in GC mode and thereby obtain high-performance power. As filter are not optimal under SA mode, a compound control strategy consisting of predictive current control, instantaneous voltage control, and repetitive control is proposed to achieve low total harmonic distortion and improve the output voltage spectrum. The seamless transfer between GC mode and SA mode is illustrated in detail. Finally, the simulation and experimental results of a 4 kVA prototype demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
