“…The green pricing method can be further strengthened by developing programs for use of energy from environmental friendly resources [2]. This would assist and encourage the supply and consumption of products and services that are environmentally responsible, and committed to assess and promote electrical energy sources that greatly reduce environmental impacts.…”

Low impact renewable energy technologies offer important benefits compared to conventional energy sources, such as fossil fuels or nuclear power. Renewable-energy resources are abundant; worldwide, and are unevenly distributed. They are capable of producing around one-thousand-times more energy than is released today by all fossil fuels consumed. However due to their uncertainty different kinds of renewable-energy resources need to be operated in integrated way those complement each other. Further they provide energy security without in every nation without dependence on foreign energy sources and negative impact on human health and environment. Taking a closer look, it is clear that fostering the use of renewable energy sources and their integrated operation is a key issue in order to achieve the long-run objectives of energy. In this regard this paper looks to identify and discuss some potential policy instruments and important parameters for increasing the generation of electricity from LIRE through integrated operation.

“…In addition, the use of forms of renewable and clean energy that do not produce greenhouse gas emissions, such as wind and photovoltaic power generation, is increasing [2], [3]. Among these, wind power can be generated at relatively low cost by increasing the size of the wind turbine and it produces little greenhouse gas emissions [1].…”

“…Among these, wind power can be generated at relatively low cost by increasing the size of the wind turbine and it produces little greenhouse gas emissions [1]. Therefore, the global power generation capacity of wind power is greatly increasing [1], [3]. However, large-scale wind power generation requires vast sites with good wind conditions and a large amount of capital investment.…”

The objective of this paper is to determine a suitable rotor structure with high-power performance for a small-scale wind power permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). Five types of rotor structures are considered: a surface-mounted permanent magnet (SPM), an inset PM, a tangentially-magnetized interior permanent magnet (IPM), a radially-magnetized IPM, and a V-shaped IPM. All have magnets of approximately the same size. They are analyzed by the 2-D finite element method (2D-FEM). From the results, the most suitable rotor structure is determined by comparing the average torque, power output, and efficiency for the rated conditions.

“…These different reasons lead to a reflection on new ways and concepts of electric distribution systems [2]. Additionally, the electricity access seems to be an essential condition for a sustainable economic activity in these rural areas [3]. So we have to find better solutions for a lower cost electrification of developing countries.…”

The aim of this paper is to present a new methodology to design the electric power distribution network for rural areas of developing countries. Thus, in the context of the current emergence of new generation and storage technologies, this paper describes different means to electrify developing countries ; by MV systems or by autonomous systems with planned location of small generation and storage. There is also a cost quantification of these different architectures by the way of a cost calculation software which has been developed to size and compare the considered solutions. For each strategy, we calculate investment costs and yearly costs (maintenance and energy cost). So the updated assessment over 20 years can be calculated and the strategies comparison gives the best solution for each electrification problem.
