“…There are different types of solar cells, but they operate with the same principle, that the most important materials that go into their composition are semiconductors that in turn interact with photons coming from the sun and thus produce an electric current. The choice of the type of solar panels depends on the measurement of efficiency, price, durability and flexibility, because each type has different characteristics and specific efficiency [7]. The efficiency of solar cells refers to the energy portion in form of sunlight that can be converted by photovoltaics into electricity by solar cells.…”

Urban design and human activity are main causes of environmental pollution and climate change, such as reliance on energy production plants, factories and transportation that depend on fossil fuels, in addition to transformation of most green areas into residential areas. This paper aims to establish a sustainable city with an environment friendly urban design that contributes to exploitation of natural resources in the generation of electric power, use of green means of transport and thus the reduction of pollution. Anah site was chosen as the best site for designing a sustainable city, with its natural resources, air quality and moderate climate. The total area of the city is 9990187m2 divided into seven main parts, which include residential area, green areas, agricultural areas, public areas, wind farm, industrial area, and solar collecting area. SAM software has also been used in the city's renewable energy accounts. It was found that the annual output of the wind farm consisting of 15 turbines is 71080608 kWh and the power factor ratio is 36.1%. While the annual production of solar energy for each house was equal to 12527 kWh and the power factor was 23.8%.

“…The International Energy Agency (2011) appraises that yearly interest in the rural energy area requires to expand more than fivefold to accomplish the extensive utilization of new renewable energy by the year 2030. These components indicate a more promising time to come for renewable energy resources (Ketsetzi & Capraro, 2016).…”

Accurate energy forecasting is of great significance to meet the energy demands, clean energy plans and sustainable energy development strategies. Therefore, this study develops the integrated grey framework to forecast the growth trends of renewable and non-renewable energy production and consumption in Asia and Oceania region from 2017 to 2025 by using novel grey forecasting models, namely even grey model, discrete grey model, optimized discrete grey model and non-homogeneous discrete grey model (NDGM). Mean absolute percentage error was employed to measure the performance of grey models. Data were collected from the International Energy Agency from 1980 to 2016. The results reveal that the energy consumption and production from coal as a non-renewable energy source are comparatively higher than any other energy source and depicted an increasing trend until 2025. Renewable, nuclear and other renewable sources of energy production and consumption showed the uprising trend with slow pace. Moreover, the consumptions of petroleum started with 23.07 quadrillion BTU in 1980; however, the production ended at 18.577 quads BTU in 2015. The production and consumption of petroleum will reach approximately 21.0465 and 93.750 quads BTU, respectively, in 2025 and are projected to increase in Asia and Ocean region. All the four grey models showed the excellent performance. NDGM performance was recorded slightly higher. The study is first of its kind to develop the grey integrated forecasting framework to predict the renewable and non-renewable production and consumption in the region of Asia and Oceania. This study provides useful information for policymakers, decision-makers and energy experts in sustainable energy planning, and simultaneously helps to make the environment more sustainable.

“…Wind energy, solar radiation, precipitation, tides, sea waves, and geothermal energy are considered renewable energy sources [4,5]. Biofuels, biomass, and biogas are also considered renewable energy sources if their origin is ecological, but their conversion into energy through combustion is not [6,7]. Similarly, the qualification of hydroelectric power plants as renewable energy sources is controversial.…”

Classification of Renewable Sources of Electricity in the Context of Sustainable Development of the New EU Member States

Climate change and awareness of the need to care for the environment have resulted in a global increase in the interest in renewable energy sources. The European Union (EU) is active in this respect and requires Member States to fulfill specific plans in the transformation of their energy systems. We employed hierarchical cluster analysis in an attempt to distinguish those countries among the new EU Member States that increased their electrical capacity from renewable energy sources to the greatest extent while paying attention to their energy intensity. The analyses were conducted in two scenarios for both 2004 and 2016. The first scenario assumed an analysis of all known renewable energy sources, whereas in the second scenario, only renewable energy sources from wind and solar power plants were included. The division of analyses into these two variants showed the importance of the differences in the energy assessment of individual countries, depending on classification of renewable energy sources. We identified groups of countries where electrical capacity from renewable energy sources increased the most. Conducting analyses using two variants allowed distinguishing countries that based most of their renewable energy on modern renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power plants. The inclusion of gross domestic product in the analyses allowed us to identify countries with the worst energy efficiency value.
