“…В связи с особенностями как электроэнергетической системы (например, передача электроэнергии посредством воздушных линий электропередачи (ВЛЭП)), так и климатических и территориальных условий такой страны как Россия [8-10], вопросы разработки системы, гарантирующей бесперебойное электроснабжение, остаются актуальными до сих пор [11][12][13][14]. Статистические данные по аварийности в электроэнергетической системе [15,16] ясно демонстрируют, что, несмотря на научно-технический прогресс во многих отраслях промышленности, подверженность состояния процесса передачи электроэнергии различным факторам не решена [17,18]. Безусловно, среди всего комплекса факторов, значительнее остальных оказывающих влияние на количество и продолжительность перебоев в электроснабжении отдельной группой выделяются гидрометеорологические факторы [19][20][21], из которых можно назвать температуру окружающей среды, влажность, скорость ветра и т.д.…”

Due to the increase in the energy intensity of almost all spheres of human activity, the issue of ensuring the safety of electricity supply is becoming more and more paramount. The main feature of the transmission of electricity in the conditions of the Russian Federation is a significant distance from its source to the end consumer. Throughout the entire section of the transmission line, the elements of the electric power network are affected by a huge number of factors that are completely heterogeneous in nature, among which hydrometeorological factors stand out, which are especially significant due to the territorial location and size of Russia. It becomes obvious that it is necessary to develop a system that allows you to respond in a timely manner to electric power failure threats and eliminate them. Among the known systems engineering methods, the most suitable for these purposes is the synthesis-based approach, the main advantage of which is the ability to initially set the required system performance indicator, which, under conditions of uncertainty, will allow achieving the required activity goal. In the course of the study, a synthesis of the electric power supply safety ensuring system of a region (EPSSESR) was carried out on the basis of a system-forming factor -a model of human de- Исследование выполнено при финансовой поддержке РФФИ в рамках научного проекта № 20-38-90225.

“…In a developing country such as Pakistan, energy consumption is quite high and has been steadily rising since independence. Pakistan's total power generation was about 60 MW in 1947, when the country gained independence, for its 31.5 million people [67]. By the end of the 1970s, it had risen to 1.3 GW, thanks to the building of various power plants.…”

Wind Energy Potential in Pakistan: A Feasibility Study in Sindh Province

et al. 2022

The environment and the economy are negatively impacted by conventional energy sources, such as coal, gasoline, and other fossil fuels. Pakistan’s reliance on these resources has resulted in a catastrophic energy crisis. This has driven the government to make critical decisions such as early retail closures, power outages for the industrial sector, and an increase to two days a week vacations. Wind energy, accessible and affordable, will become a viable option for meeting Pakistan’s present and future energy demands. Approximately 3% of Pakistan’s land can produce nearly 132 GW of power with an installed capacity of 5 MW per km2. In this study, four zones (Karachi, Thatta, Badin, and Jamshoro) in Sindh province are assessed for the feasibility of wind energy generation. The installed capacity, generator types, and detailed specifications are provided for each zone. Moreover, the wind mapping of Pakistan is presented considering the four potential zones. The zones are analyzed using annual wind speed and power output considering wind data measured at 50 m height over one year. The higher mean speed is recorded at Jamshoro compared to other zones. The analysis indicates that all four sites are suitable for large-scale wind power generation due to their energy potential.

“…The government also took part in energy conservation through supporting energy conservation techniques and significant energy savings at the national level (ENERCON, 2006). While the focus of all these policies has been on increasing the share of clean energy sources, the implementation hand of government was always lacking and mainly the administrative targets have been met (Raza et al, 2022). As also highlighted previously, the strongest support for solar PV uptake in Pakistan came through the introduction of Alternate and Renewable Energy Policy (2019) which targets a share 30% energy generation from renewables by 2030 (AEDB, 2019a).…”

Despite global calls for climate change and its impacts in past decade, energy sector of Pakistan has remained highly dominated by high-cost carbon-intensive resources. Although a significant number of policies have been put forward by both provincial and federal government in last three years, the ground-level implementation of these policies is non-existent, and Pakistan’s progress is still far behind the developed countries. This study therefore performs a socio-economic analysis of solar PV potential in Pakistan and how recent policies can be mobilized to upscale the utilization of solar PV both as an on-grid and off-grid generation source. This also links to solar potential for corporate sector engagements in their Net-Zero Pathways. The methodological approach uses a Low Emission Analysis Platform (LEAP) model designed for Pakistan’s Power System supplies under three different scenarios i.e., Energy Transition Scenario, Conventional Generation Scenarios, and Business as Usual Scenario. Indicative Generation Capacity Expansion Plan (IGCEP 2021) along with recent policies is used as the leading data source for driving the capacity additions. The results obtained from the model indicates that despite having a large potential, under currently policies the share of solar in total grid power generation will remain under 2% by 2030. Under Energy Transition Scenario, the model runs under a least cost optimization plan leading to a higher uptake of solar power. As per this scenario, the share of renewable increase beyond 2030 to achieve a share of around 50% by 2045. This can lead to cumulative carbon reductions of around 2000 Mt by 2030 and economic savings of around $ 5 billion. Based on the model results, this study also identifies the possible pathways for upcoming iterations of Pakistan IGCEP plan that builds around solar PV
