“…At first, the uncertainty of wind power and PV power output can be characterized by the interval number. Specifically, we consider that the wind power output deviation of the w-th wind farm at time t is ζ W w,t ∈[ζ In order to cope with the imbalance of the economic dispatch caused by this situation, the robust economic dispatch model is established in this paper, which ensures that the system can find an optimal operating point under any realization of the renewable energy resources, while always meeting various inequality constraints [40][41][42][43][44]. The robust constraints of CSP plants considering PV fluctuations and the participation of CSP plants in market reserve and AGC constraints are proposed to deal with the uncertainty of wind power and photovoltaics [27][28][29].…”

A concentrated solar power (CSP) plant with energy storage systems has excellent scheduling flexibility and superiority to traditional thermal power generation systems. In this paper, the operation mechanism and operational constraints of the CSP plant are specified. Furthermore, the uncertainty of the solar energy received by the solar field is considered and a robust economic dispatch model with CSP plants and renewable energy resources is proposed, where uncertainty is adjusted by the automatic generation control (AGC) regulation in the day-ahead ancillary market, so that the system security is guaranteed under any realization of the uncertainty. Finally, the proposed robust economic dispatch has been studied on an improved IEEE 30-bus test system, and the results verify the proposed model.

“…7 Solar energy is considered by many authors as the main energy source in the transition from electricity generation by nonrenewable resources to generation by renewable resources. [8][9][10][11] This particular emphasis is because the solar source has the potential to adequately satisfy the energy demands of the whole world, as long as such technologies for its use are readily available. 12 Solar energy is applied to the generation of electric power through photovoltaic technology.…”

Summary The choice of great places for installation of solar power plants has become a key issue in terms of project planning because of the increased number of investments in the photovoltaic sector. This study is a systematic review of the literature that seeks to identify the determining factors in choosing the best location for solar photovoltaic power plants, through previous research on the application of renewable energy technologies in great contexts of location. Among a total of 130 academic studies filtered by the keywords “photovoltaic energy,” “power plants,” “location,” and “factor” on the bases ScienceDirect, Scopus, Web of Science, and IEEE, a total of 27 studies were identified. These articles were carefully explored, including years of publication, countries of origin, and identification of factors that each author demonstrated. It has been extracted 28 factors, organized in six points of view: socioenvironmental, location, economic, political, climatic, and orographic. It was verified that the determining factors for choosing the best locations are solar irradiation, substation distance, slope, distance of roads, distance from urban areas, and land use. The results of this research may assist academic students and investors in identifying factors that they should consider in their decision making and may also assist in the efficient planning of renewable energy management to ensure the sustainable development of power generation through the photovoltaic source.

“…Exergy can be used to assess and improve energy systems, and can help better understand the benefits of utilizing green energy by providing more useful and meaningful information than energy provides. Exergy clearly identifies efficiency improvements and reductions in thermodynamic losses attributable to more sustainable technologies [68]. Exergy can also identify better than energy the environmental benefits and economics of energy technologies.…”

Renewable energy system usually refers to as an environmentally friendly energy system and most reliable and cost efficient one. Solar energy system is among the renewable energy system sourcing from sun that is freely available in nature. The utilization of renewable energy offers a wide range of exceptional benefits of human life, therefore its necessity for researchers to find ways of increasing the performance of the system in order to satisfy the human needs. In this work, a comprehensive review on performance assessment of different solar energy technologies using energy and exergy analysis approaches was carried out, and some important conclusions were drawn out. Some on the conclusions are energy efficiency for all the solar energy systems have been found to be greater than that of exergy efficiency and exergy analysis method is a very useful tool, especially on performance evaluation of solar energy systems.
