Renewable Energy and Material Supply Risks: a Predictive Analysis Based on An LSTM Model

Abstract

In response to climate change and continued reliance on traditional high-carbon fossil fuels, promoting the transition toward sustainable energy systems by development of low-carbon energy resources has been seen as the main strategy for mitigating and solving global climate change. However, the promotion of low-carbon energy also faces material supply risks. To provide a reference for the steady and rapid development of renewable energy and other energy in the future energy market, this paper considers renewable energy prediction based on a long-and short-term memory network model as well as the growth rate changes of crude oil, natural gas, nuclear energy, financial revenues, and expenditure. In the prediction process, it is found that natural gas will be a strong competitor for the development of renewable energy in the future. When natural gas grows too quickly, the growth of renewable energy will be negative. On the other hand, when the monthly growth rate of natural gas and crude oil is smaller than that of nuclear energy, renewable energy will display a growth trend, and the rate will increase with the growth of natural gas and nuclear energy. What is more, wind and solar energy will be limited by metallic materials, such as Dy, Nd, Te, and In. Improving the energy density of metals plays a key role in China's transition to a low-carbon energy structure.

New environmental policy of the European Union: some aspects of transition to green energy

“…It should be noted that currently, the final definition of the main types of green energy remains extremely relevant for the process of green transformation. Highly demanded energy sources as a means of facilitating the EU's transition to renewable energy [29] are increasingly seen as "transitional" technologies -natural gas and nuclear energy as (its) strong competitors [30]. In legislative acts, these technologies are considered as sustainable, above all, in terms of their impact on the environment.…”

The Impact of Renewable Electricity Output on Sustainability in the Context of Circular Economy: A Global Perspective

“…There is skepticism about the possibility to apply a circular economy, even with renewable energies, in developing countries such as Bangladesh [35]. The negative relationship between the price of non-renewable energy and renewable energy has a relevant role in promoting the energetic transition of China toward a circular economy [36]. Renewable energy induces a reduction in CO 2 emission even in more advanced countries in terms of complexity index suggesting the existence of a positive relationship among circular economy, environmental sustainability, and knowledge-oriented economic systems [37].…”

Gray-Related Support Vector Machine Optimization Strategy and Its Implementation in Forecasting Photovoltaic Output Power

“…Improving the reliability and accuracy of photovoltaic output power prediction is an excellent approach [7,8]. Accurate and consistent prediction results may assist the power grid in improving power quality and reducing system reserve capacities [9]. However, due to climate change, severe weather events have become more common in recent years, making it challenging to construct an accurate and reliable prediction model [10][11][12].…”
