“…In spite of the fact that the distribution of non-conventional energy resources is significant, policies and the governmental actions framed by the government are significant in bringing updated technologies to public awareness [22][23][24]. As a part of awareness for having access to the governmental policies and their benefits, an approach known as "Footprint" is executed in European countries [25][26][27][28][29]. The integrated energy policy formulated by the government of India has covered all the sources of energy resources, including RE, which helps to develop energy supply options and to increase the exploitation of RE.…”

Given the recent increasing public focus on climate change issues, the share of electricity generation by renewable energy resources is increasing day by day. Increased renewables share will give us robust, sustainable, and climate-friendly energy systems for the future. Renewable energy penetration with the current power systems needs substantial research, planning and development which are now the primary focus throughout the world. In this study, a global renewable energy scenario is explained in detail in contrast with India, considering a case study elucidating the comprehensive review of the Gujarat state in India. The primary focus is on Gujarat state's actions plans to pertain to harvest renewable energy and maximizing its share in the energy mix. This study examines the actions and the policies adopted by the Gujarat government to overcome the potential barriers in order to support non-conventional as well as renewable energy development. It also investigates the numerous techno-economic and social constraints with possible solutions in promoting the deployment of upcoming renewable energy resources across Gujarat. This study can be used as a guideline for the government, policymakers, utilities, stakeholders and researchers to promote an increased renewable energy share in Gujarat as well as at other places around the globe.Energies 2020, 13, 40 2 of 30 Development Goals (SDGs) in January 2016, with 17 goals, which also aimed at achieving affordable and clean energy for all [4]. The government of India, under the SDG's India Index, is planning to deliver a complete view on the "social, economic, and environmental status of the country". The National Institution for Transforming India (NITI), shortly referred to as NITI Aayog, started a broad exercise to measure the progress of "India and its States towards the SDGs for 2030" [5]. As of 2010, the global power production from non-hydro renewable energy resources accounted for about 3.3%. The support from the new policies, there has been a growth in renewables, which increased to 5% by 2011 [6]. In the early days, most industrialized countries were considered as the roots of renewable energy innovation. However, in recent years, many developing countries, especially China and India, have become popular leaders in renewable energy use, as well as an innovation [7].Considering India's current energy situation, it should decrease the emissions from the energy sector in the future and is expected to curb the rise in temperatures to below 2 • C by 2100 to support the global effect indicated in the Paris agreement [8]. About 44% of India's rural households, i.e., 138 million, produce lighting through electricity, an efficient and reliable source of power. The remaining 55% primarily use kerosene, an inefficient source and its price have also become costly [9]. The depletion of natural resources and increasing demand is ubiquitous in all states of India. There is a shortage of energy, and hence, it slows down India's industrial and economic growth.

“…The support mechanism for PV systems gave the producers the possibility to choose whether to sell the electricity under the FIT tariff or whether to sell the electricity in the free market, taking advantage of a premium above the market price. The FIT policy granted producers for an undefined number of years; a reduction was expected after 25 years [40,41].…”

The paper presents a review of the recent developments of photovoltaics integrated with battery storage systems (PV-BESs) and related to feed-in tariff policies. The integrated photovoltaic battery systems are separately discussed in the regulatory context of Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Australia, and Greece; the attention of this paper is focused on those integrated systems subject to incentivisation policies such as feed-in tariff. Most of the contributions reported in this paper consider already existing incentive schemes; the remaining part of the contributions proposes interesting and novel feed-in tariff schemes. All the contributions provide an important resource for carrying out further research on a new era of incentive policies in order to promote storage technologies and integrated photovoltaic battery systems in smart grids and smart cities. Recent incentive policies adopted in Germany, Italy, Spain, and Australia are also discussed.

“…The European Commission adopted in 2007 the so-called EU climate and energy package, which aims to provide 20% of the EU's energy consumption through renewable energy sources by 2020 [1].The need for increasing the share of renewable energies in the total energy production has resulted in a growing interest in marine energiesless developed than other renewables at present but with high potential [2]. Among them, tidal stream energy is one of the most predictable and reliable resources [3].…”

“…The tidal stream resource in the Bristol Channel has been the subject of previous assessments 1 , in which areas with a peak flow velocity in excess of 2.5 m s -1 were identified [10]. Predictions about the extraction of this energy suggested that a capacity of 0.6 GW could be installed on the English side of the Outer/Inner Bristol Channel by 2030 [11].…”

Although a number of prospective locations for tidal stream farms have been identified, the development of a unified approach for selecting the optimum site in a region remains a current research topic. The objective of this work is to develop and apply a methodology for determining the most suitable sites for tidal stream farms, i.e. sites whose characteristics maximise power performance, minimise cost and avoid conflicts with competing uses of the marine space. Illustrated through a case study in the Bristol Channel, the method uses a validated hydrodynamics model to identify highly energetic areas and a geospatial Matlab-based program (designed ad hoc) to estimate the energy output that a tidal farm at the site with a given technology would have. This output is then used to obtain the spatial distribution of the levelised cost of energy and, on this basis, to preselect certain areas. Subsequently, potential conflicts with other functions of the marine space (e.g. fishing, shipping) are considered. The result is a selection of areas for tidal stream energy development based on a holistic approach, encompassing the relevant technical, economic and functional aspects. This methodology can lead to a significant improvement in the selection of tidal sites, thereby increasing the possibilities of project acceptance and development.
