“…The main emphasis of present research is placed on the identification of success factors and then prioritization of most critical factors contributing towards the success of renewable energy projects. The potential of renewable energy resources in Pakistan has been estimated by a number of researchers Ali et al 2015;Arshad, Ahmed 2016;Asif 2009;Awan, Khan 2014;Ghafoor et al 2016;Gondal, Sahir 2010;Gondal et al 2017;Hulio et al 2017;Mirza et al 2003;PMD 2004;Raja et al 1996;Shahbaz et al 2015;Shakeel et al 2016;Sheikh 2009). However, their assessments were restricted to potentials and prospects of energy extraction from the renewable sources and their possible consumption.…”

Abstract. Owed to their enormous impact on the sustainable development of energy security, climate change, and the economy, multiple renewable-energy projects are carried out around the world, both in developed and in developing countries. Since the construction of renewable energy project is an entrepreneurial activity, there is a big concern about the success of such projects. Although pertinent literature suggests several methodologies to enhance the success of various projects, renewable-energy projects are still overlooked. This study identifies multiple critical success factors (CSFs), required for renewable-energy projects. Using a sample of 272 firms working on renewable energy projects in Pakistan, a quantitative and causal study was undertaken to identify the critical success factors (CSFs). Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to test and verify hypothesis. The results show that there is a strong direct dependency of project success over the proposed factors, however environmental factors are found to be the only predominant CSFs which show the significant indirect effect on project success. The study expected to contribute towards and widen up the existing knowledge base for the project performance of renewable energy projects by adding on the findings regarding critical success factors.

“…One of the economic parameters is the LCOE which represents the cost of electricity generated by RES. The LCOE generally does not consider the excess and the deficit energy . However, in this analysis the excess and the deficit energy are considered, since the excess energy is pumped into the grid for free and the energy that cannot be met by RES is compensated by the grid with certain tariff.…”

This study aims to suggest a method for sizing of a photovoltaic (PV)/wind hybrid system based on maximizing the annual renewable energy system (RES) fraction with levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) being equal to the grid tariff. The novelty of this article is the idea of maximizing the energy security, energy localization, and environmental benefits from the hybrid system and at the same time ensures the economic feasibility of the system where Middle East Technical University Northern Cyprus Campus (METU NCC) is the case study of this article. The resultant size of a hybrid system for METU NCC is one 2 MW wind turbine and 760 kW PV power plant with annual RES fraction of 52.96%, LCOE of 0.175 USD/kWh, and a payback period of 9.82 years. Such system will increase the localization of energy and cut the transmission losses and also will contribute in the energy security of the island by reducing the annual fuel consumption of the island by 9920 barrels which will also reduce the annual CO2 emissions by 3622 tons. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13052, 2019

“…Their waste can be used for the production of biogas. Based on the methodology used by Zuberi et al [8], Ali et al [20] developed a model to estimate the amount of biogas that can be captured from livestock. The total amount of manure that can be produced by the animals per day can be determined by Equation (1).…”
