This study investigated the wind energy potential of Ciudad Juárez (Chihuahua, México) for a whole year. The viability of employing three small-scale wind turbine models, including the S-343, Bergey BWC Excel, and AOC 15/50, in Ciudad Juarez, located in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua in Mexico, is studied in the first stage using RETScreen software. The performance of these three turbine models was subjected to sensitivity analysis in the following study stage using the three defined economic scenarios, assuming a 7% inflation rate, a 9% discount rate, a 7% fuel cost escalation rate, and a 20-year project duration. Finally, the circumstances under which these turbines operate in Ciudad Juarez are discussed economically. Findings indicate that the study site is not economically appropriate, not even for the installation of specific small wind turbines. Finally, it was suggested that the viability of adopting alternative renewable energy systems, such as solar and hybrid systems (photovoltaic wind), be examined in the upcoming study in Ciudad Juárez.

The design flow rate, the dimensions of the transmission structure and the penstock size have a large impact on the cost of run-of-river type hydroelectric power plants. Equipment costs constitute a large part of the total budget of the plant. Optimum sizing, which maximizes the use of hydraulic potential, does not fit together with optimum sizing, which is necessary to obtain economic benefit from its investment. The main design parameters can be selected with the help of an optimization study in terms of both economic benefit and hydraulic potential. In this study, an easy to implement model, aimed at determining the costs associated with the different components in the structural organization of a hydroelectric power plant, is developed by a feasibility study to overcome the difficulties in practice. Gökçeköy HEPP, built in Turkey, was selected as the system. Annual energy production values were calculated by taking into account the current energy market conditions in Turkey. In addition, real situation studies were carried out regarding design flow rate selection, forced pipe diameter optimization and transmission channel sizing.
