“…The results reveals that people in this area could stop their poverty by improving mainly two factors one is access to roads and the other is electricity. Pfeiffer et al (2022) used a sample of 48 non-expert individuals to conduct an extensive facial expression analysis and eye-tracking inquiry with the goal of identifying the emotions elicited by various time-scaled power usage graphs at the appliance level. According to the findings, time-scaled power usage graphs at the appliance level can elicit a range of emotions, including happiness, surprise, rage, disdain, disgust, and melancholy.…”

The study for the 1st time examines electricity-happiness nexus in Central Asia over the period 1996-2022 employing Panel methods such as Quantile and threshold regressions. The findings document that the association between electricity and happiness is negative in general. However, the results reveal that economic development stage plays a crucial role in the context of electricity-happiness nexus. More specifically the negative effect of electricity on happiness decreases as economic development grows. Policy implications that focus on developing the economies in a sufficient level to achieve stable electricity supply and transition on renewable energy, should be encouraged consequently the rate of happiness will increase in Central Asian region.

“…The exergy efficiency could reach 49.25%. Battery storage helps in stabilizing electrical grids by providing fast response times and helping to manage fluctuations in electricity supply and demand [72]. Meanwhile, a battery storage system has the benefits of peak shaving and load shifting and provides backup power during grid outages or emergencies, ensuring a reliable power supply for critical loads [73].…”

The current applications in the energy sector are based largely on fossil fuels which release greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. To face the issue of global warming, the energy sector has to transfer to and develop sustainable energy solutions that do not release carbon emissions. This is one of the primary motivators for the SDEWES conference as well as for this review, and previous ones, examining the most recent works based on sustainable and green energy production in such fields. The 17th Conference on the Sustainable Development of Energy, Water, and Environment Systems (SDEWES) was held on 6–10 November 2022 in Paphos, Cyprus. The SDEWES conference aims at solving complex and ongoing concerns that approach a long-term perspective and supporting innovative solutions and continuous monitoring and evaluation. This review paper aims at collecting the main presented papers focused on the following hot topics: low-carbon technologies based on renewable and clean-energy systems, including mainly biomass, solar, and wind energy applications; energy storage systems; hydrogen-based systems; energy-saving strategies in buildings; and the adoption of smart management strategies using renewable energy systems. These topics are investigated in order to propose solutions to address the issues of climate change, water scarcity, and energy saving. From the analyzed works, we note that some key issues for sustainable development remain to be further addressed: such as novel and advanced energy storage systems, green hydrogen production, novel low-temperature district heating and cooling networks, novel solar technologies for the simultaneous production of power and high temperature heat, solar desalination for hydrogen production systems, and agrivoltaic systems for the production of power and food.

“…Cooking is a common chore for women in Indonesia [135], especially in Javanese society, which adheres to a patriarchal cultural structure [136,137], evidenced by the fact that 90% of the respondents utilizing the induction stove are female. Feelings of enjoyment on using electric household appliances tend to be dominated by women [138]. Sharing culinary experiences through the WAG has made respondents (mainly women) feel acknowledged for their everyday responsibilities.…”

In 2022, through the state electricity company, the Indonesian government launched a pilot experiment to cut imports of liquefied petroleum gas by giving program packages to 1,000 families in five districts in Surakarta. Objectives: Using the technology readiness and acceptance model (TRAM), this study examined the elements influencing the readiness and acceptability of the induction stove program in Surakarta. Method/Analysis: The empirical findings from a 389-respondent survey showed that the program’s public acceptance was supported by favorable technological preparedness, including elements like innovation and optimism. Findings: Perceived use, enjoyment, usefulness, cost level, and confirmation were all factors that affected participants' happiness and willingness to continue using induction stoves and participating in the program. Interestingly, acceptability, general contentment, and the willingness to use induction stoves were not always affected by issues like discomfort and insecurity. Additionally, this research emphasized how crucial the social context is for successfully implementing a program and embracing new technologies. Novelty:This is the first study that concurrently identifies, assesses, and analyzes the integration of factors impacting technology readiness and acceptance (TRAM) into the community's intention to continue participating in the induction stove conversion program. These empirical results offer practical guidance for stakeholders in induction stove conversion projects, particularly in developing nations, and also add to a theoretical understanding of TRAM factors.
