“…This necessitates the development of expanded transmission infrastructure, the availability of which has not kept up with demand [21,30]. As of 2007, over 333 kilometers (km; 207,000 miles) of high-voltage transmission lines (4230 kV) were constructed in the US electricity transmission system [78] and this number is expected to rise as transmission infrastructure expands to growing population centers and connects with new renewable energy sources. As the potential for solar resources in other countries are being discovered so too are the plans to harness that energy and transmit it across international borders [27]; such plans are being actively developed to transmit energy from Middle Eastern and North African regions to European countries (requiring over 78,000 km of transmission lines by project completion in 2050; [124]).…”

Greenhouse gas emissions Land use and land cover change Photovoltaic Renewable energy a b s t r a c t Renewable energy is a promising alternative to fossil fuel-based energy, but its development can require a complex set of environmental tradeoffs. A recent increase in solar energy systems, especially large, centralized installations, underscores the urgency of understanding their environmental interactions. Synthesizing literature across numerous disciplines, we review direct and indirect environmental impacts -both beneficial and adverse -of utility-scale solar energy (USSE) development, including impacts on biodiversity, land-use and land-cover change, soils, water resources, and human health. Additionally, we review feedbacks between USSE infrastructure and land-atmosphere interactions and the potential for USSE systems to mitigate climate change. Several characteristics and development strategies of USSE systems have low environmental impacts relative to other energy systems, including other renewables. We show opportunities to increase USSE environmental co-benefits, the permitting and regulatory constraints and opportunities of USSE, and highlight future research directions to better understand the nexus between USSE and the environment. Increasing the environmental compatibility of USSE systems will maximize the efficacy of this key renewable energy source in mitigating climatic and global environmental change.

Abstract-This work proposes Random Power line Synthesis (RPLS) as a quicker computational approach to solving RLC parameters of a modern smart grid transmission network. Since modern grid systems provide a holistic perspective of modern grid development, it is obvious that a transmission network that is ageing cannot serve the expanded load demand. The need to revoltionalize the traditional transmission model while exploiting basic electrical theories and principles in Smart Grid (SG) architecture necessitated this paper. This work seeks to address the RLC parameter modelling for SG template to provision dynamic power in Nigerian context.Other schemes of transmission RLC modelling were studied as well as outlining their limitations. Consequently, we then proposed a fuzzy smart grid framework for RLC computation and developed a proposed SG overhead transmission line from its conductor characteristics and tower geometry considering the RLC parameters of the conductor while applying RPLS to generate the parameter metrics.

“…It is verified that above certain economic distance, the advantages of HVDC would make it the preferred option over AC transmission in the context of point-to-point transmission without intermediate taps, as well as higher cost efficiency and lower power losses [4]. Ultra high-voltage direct current (UHVDC) systems operating at 800kV or above, in particular, are economically attractive for power transmission rated at 5-12 GW [5,6].…”

Abstract. Developments in ultra-high-voltage (UHV) power systems and clean energy technologies are paving the way towards unprecedented energy market globalization. In accordance with the international community's enthusiasm for building up the Global Energy Internet, this paper focuses on the feasibility of transmitting large-size electricity from northwest China to Arab world through a long-distance transnational power interconnection. The complete investigations on the grids of both the sending-end and receiving-end is firstly presented. Then system configuration of the transmission scheme and corridor route planning is proposed with UHVDC technology. Based on transmission costs' investigation about similar transmission projects worldwide, the costs of the proposed transmission scheme are estimated through adjustment factors which represent differences in latitude, topography and economy. The proposed China-Arab transmission line sheds light on the prospects of power cooperation and resource sharing between China and Arab states, and appeals for more emphasis on green energy concentrated power interconnections from a global perspective.
