Environmental assessment of optimized renewable energy-based microgrids integrated desalination plant: considering human health, ecosystem quality, climate change, and resources

Integration of Different Storage Technologies towards Sustainable Development—A Case Study in a Greek Island

“…In [36], a cost-benefit analysis has been conducted for an HRES consisting of WT/PHS for the fulfillment of electricity and water demand in an anhydrous island. The environmental impacts of three optimized HRES for the desalination of seawater are accessed in [37], showing that produced freshwater by a WT/BT system had less impact on resources, climate, and ecosystem quality compared to a PV/BT or a WT/PV/BT system. In [38], an analysis based on energy, economic, and environmental factors between two HRES of different storage technologies, i.e., PHS and BT, and consisting of both WT/PV is conducted.…”

The role of biofuels for sustainable MicrogridsF: A path towards carbon neutrality and the green economy

“…The most important and widely used classification of microgrids, which researchers often cite, is the microgrid classification based on the type of connection to the national power grid. From this point of view, scientists divide microgrids into two categories: microgrids connected to the grid and microgrids disconnected from the grid [ 40 , 41 ].…”

Blockchain technology in the renewable energy sector: A co-word analysis of academic discourse

“…As the world confronts climate change, environmental degradation, and the urgent need for sustainable development [ 6 , 7 ], renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass offer sustainable solutions. While these sources are replenished naturally on a human timescale, they stand in stark contrast to finite fossil fuels, emitting little to no greenhouse gases and pollutants [ [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] ]. Statistics reflect the sector's growing significance.…”
