“…As it is an isolated microgrid, not interconnected with an electricity system, consumers of the microgrid cannot participate in the Colombian electricity market as self-consumers. The high number of areas not connected to the electricity grid is one of the most significant obstacles for renewable energy sources to participate in the Colombian electricity market [41]. The load profile is obtained according to the Energy Solutions data for the non-interconnected areas of Colombia IPSE (the government branch that plans and promotes these energy systems) [36], with an average temperature of 27 • C [37].…”

Energy supply in remote areas (mainly in developing countries such as Colombia) has become a challenge. Hybrid microgrids are local and reliable sources of energy for these areas where access to the power grid is generally limited or unavailable. These systems generally include a diesel generator, solar modules, wind turbines, and storage devices such as batteries. Battery life estimation is an essential factor in the optimization of a hybrid microgrid since it determines the system’s final costs, including future battery replacements. This article presents a comparison of different technologies and battery models in a hybrid microgrid. The optimization is achieved using the iHOGA software, based on data from a real microgrid in Colombia. The simulation results allowed the comparison of prediction models for lifespan calculation for both lead–acid and lithium batteries in a hybrid microgrid, showing that the most accurate models are more realistic in predicting battery life by closely estimating real lifespans that are shorter, unlike other simplified methods that obtain much longer and unrealistic lifetimes.

“…Similarly to Poland, in Colombia small hydro power plants have been used for more than 100 years. Now it is 784.44 MW of capacity (Gómez-Navarro and Ribó-Pérez 2018). Potential of 25 GW was calculated in Colombia.…”

The history of hydro energy in Poland was shown in the article. The first mills were built in the ninth century and the first hydro energy plant was opened in 1896. In 1935, there were 8000 water energy plants and dozen other installations using water energy. War action and nationalisation have caused the crash of hydro energy in Poland. At the moment, there are 761 water energy plants amounting to 994 MW. The Lower Vistula Cascade was described but also use of water for energy purposes in heat plants and waste treatment plants. Technical potential of hydro energy is major. Using already exciting heaps (there are 16,005), it is possible to obtain 14.27 PJ. SWOT analysis has shown that hydro energy in Poland is a wellmastered technology and allows small water retention. Investing in hydro energy in Poland requires a lot of documents. In addition, energetic law is constantly changing. Influence of hydro energy on environment was presented. It was concluded that small hydro energy development is definitely advised in Poland. Small hydro energy stations allow to produce energy and allow small retention in steppe Poland.

Summary The economic, social, and environmental aspects are important that should be notable before the selection of a method for the production of energy. Various renewable energy sources are used like hydropower, biomass, biofuel, geothermal energy, and wind energy for the production of sustainable energy that are excellent approaches to fulfill energy environmental energy demands. Renewable sources of energy give an excellent chance to extenuate the gas emission in greenhouse and reduction of global warming with the help of renewable sources of energy. The importance and utilization of the variety of renewable sources of energy are elaborated in this article. The emerging and exploring technique for the production of energy is the photocatalysis. In photocatalysis, solar spectrum is the extraneous source that is used with water to produce hydrogen energy (green energy) by the water splitting under the shower of the solar spectrum. The solar spectrum contains heat and intensity of light from which light spectrum is the abundantly used for the splitting of water. The photocatalyst is the key factor to initiate the reaction depending upon the energy band gap by absorbing the energy from the spectrum of the sun. Semiconducting materials having lower forbidden energy band gap are the basic requirements to use them as a photocatalyst for photocatalysis. Copper vanadate and their composites are the promising materials that are used as photocatalyst for the production of hydrogen energy. Copper vanadate is the focusing material that can be used as photocatalyst. It is an n‐type semiconducting material with 2 eV indirect energy band gap having monoclinic structural phase which is tuned by the doping of metals like chromium, molybdenum, and silver to reduce the grain size and energy band gap and increase the surface area and optical absorption of solar light only to enhance the photocatalytic performance towards the production of hydrogen energy by water splitting in the presence of solar light.
