“…The use of renewable energy sources has been investigated in many studies and scientific analyses. They concern mainly the development of renewable energy in the context of SD [67], the potential to use solar energy from photovoltaic systems, their efficiency and environmental impact [68,69], potential to use wind energy [70,71], hydropower [72], tidal energy [73], geothermal energy [74] and biomass energy [75]. Many publications are devoted to the economic efficiency of investments in renewable energy sources in the EU [5,[76][77][78], and the VG [79][80][81].…”

Use of Renewable Energy Sources in the European Union and the Visegrad Group Countries—Results of Cluster Analysis

2021

Increasing the use of renewable energy sources is one of the strategic objectives of the European Union. In this regard, it seems necessary to answer the question: which of the member countries are the most effective in its implementation? Therefore, the main goal was to distinguish groups of European Union countries, including the Visegrad Group, differing in the use of renewable energy sources in transport, electricity, heating and cooling (based on cluster analysis). All members of the EU were determinedly selected for research on 1 February 2020 (27 countries). The research period embraced the years 2009–2019. The sources of materials were the literature on the topic and data from Eurostat. Descriptive, tabular, graphical methods and cluster analysis were used in the presentation and analysis of materials. In 2019 wind and hydro power accounted for two-thirds of the total electricity generated from renewable sources. In 2019, renewable energy sources made up 34% of gross electricity consumption in the EU-27. Wind and hydro power accounted for two-thirds of the total electricity generated from renewable sources (35% each). Moreover, it was determined that there were 5 clusters that differed in their use of renewable energy sources. The highest average renewable energy consumption in transport, heating and cooling in 2019 was characterized by a cluster consisting of Sweden and Finland. In contrast, the highest average renewable energy consumption in electricity was characterized by a cluster consisting of countries such as: Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Latvia and Portugal. Finally, in a group that included countries such as Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands and the entire VG (Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia and Poland), renewable energy consumption rates (in transport, electricity, heating and cooling) were lower than the EU average (27 countries).

“…These capabilities can offer so many optimal solutions and consumer's expectations in India's solar energy, basically to extract potential to develop new materials, technologies, and systems more rapidly and at lower cost than traditional approaches. Many R&D institutions have development of such capabilities as its central focus [18]. In Indian context, many of state electricity commissions and regulators are using advanced scientific tools for energy cost calculations and make available to energy technology developers.…”

Solar energy pricing comprising of cost of its components, mainly of PV, installation, and handling cost.• Solar PV module costs account for only around 20% of solar. Thus, financing costs account for the largest component-over 50% of solar energy tariffs. • In recent years, the tariffs dropped to a record low of INR 2.44 per kWh for utility-scale solar-based energy generation. • Historically, equipment-related factors have been the major drivers of tariff reduction, accounting for 73% of the solar tariff reduction in recent years. • The decline in financing costs accounting for the remaining roughly 27% of the tariff decline. • However, there could be a role reversal-changes in financing costs could drive future declines in solar tariffs. • Improvements in the financing costs for solar energy projects can partly be explained by declining commercial bank benchmark lending rates, growing familiarity with solar technologies, favorable policy ecosystem resulting in lowered risk perceptions among debt financiers, and intense competition at auctions. • The impact of equipment-related factors is likely to be less significant in solar tariff decline in the years ahead.

“…At the moment, China, Taiwan, the USA, Japan, and Germany are the leading manufacturers of solar panels in the world [54]. In 2017, China installed 53.3% of the world's total solar capacity, which is followed by India, which accounts 10% of the overall generation [55,56]. This makes China one of the notable countries specifically in solar technologies, where the country itself dominates 60% of the PV production in the world market [50].…”

Distributed Generation: A Review on Current Energy Status, Grid-Interconnected PQ Issues, and Implementation Constraints of DG in Malaysia

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Electric supply is listed as one of the basic amenities of sustainable development in Malaysia. Under this key contributing factor, the sustainable development goal aims to ensure universal access to an affordable, clean, and reliable energy service. To support the generation capacity in years to come, distributed generation is conceptualized through stages upon its implementation in the power system network. However, the rapid establishment growth of distributed generation technology in Malaysia will invoke power quality problems in the current power system network. In order to prevent this, the current government is committed to embark on the development of renewable technologies with the assurance of maintaining the quality of power delivered to consumers. Therefore, this research paper will focus on the review of the energy prospect of both fossil fuel and renewable energy generation in Malaysia and other countries, followed by power quality issues and compensation device under a high renewable penetration distribution network. The issues and challenges of distributed generation are presented, with a comprehensive discussion and insightful recommendation on future work of the distributed generation. In accordance with the addressed highlights in this paper, it would serve as the criterion on upcoming revolution of distributed generation integrated along with the traditional network in Malaysia.
