Renewable energy is rapidly increasing in importance in the energy mix in many countries worlwide. They are a key part of the energy transition to more sustainable energy systems.Green roofs are multi-layered systems cov...

The high population growth rate, the accelerated industrialization and unpredictability of oil prices in the world have considerably raised the energy demand which has enhanced the necessity of alternative and sustainabl...

Nowadays, offshore renewable energy is seen more and more as an attractive alternative to onshore energy thanks to less space limitations and usually better weather conditions. However, the higher costs in installation a...

The increasing integration of inverter-interfaced renewable energy sources has significantly changed the dynamic characteristics of modern power systems, resulting in a substantial decline in effective system inertia and...

Abstract The number of electric vehicles has increased due to emission concerns associated with conventional transportation systems. Therefore, the energy management of charging demand has been quite consequential in rec...

The global shift towards sustainable transportation has significantly increased the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and their supporting charging infrastructure. While these technologies reduce greenhouse gas emissio...

Abstract Active power distribution networks are evolving with the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and advanced optimization techniques to enhance grid flexibility and efficiency. However, radial distri...

Abstract Energy insecurity is a persistent yet insufficiently examined barrier to sustainable informal entrepreneurship in African cities. In Namibia, informal women entrepreneurs in low-income settlements face limited e...

Thermoelectric generators offer a promising solution for sustainable, low-maintenance energy harvesting in smart agriculture, especially for powering off-grid sensor nodes and microgrid systems. However, their inherently...

The paper analyses various scientific approaches to the interpretation of the essence of the concept of “personnel management”, defines the specific characteristics and principles of this process. For a detailed stud...

In an effort to explore environmentally friendly alternative energy solutions, this study develops a Speed Bump Generator system designed to generate electrical energy as a power source for garden lighting. The system ...

Abstract This study presents a computational investigation into the aerodynamic and thermal performance enhancement of a solar chimney power plant (SCPP) through the integration of wavy geometries along the collector roo...

The sustainable production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from glucose remains a major challenge in advancing bio-based chemical platforms. Despite extensive research, achieving high HMF yields in environmentally frien...

Abstract This paper presents an intelligent coordinated control framework for a hybrid standalone microgrid integrating solar photovoltaic, wind, and battery energy storage systems. The proposed Radial Basis Function Neu...

Abstract Grid-connected renewable energy systems with high penetration rates exacerbate frequency fluctuations in microgrids, making traditional control methods ill-suited for random source-load variations. This paper pr...

Introduction. Self-excited induction generators (SEIGs) play a vital role in renewable energy systems, particularly in remote regions. However, their performance is highly sensitive to excitation capacitance, rotor speed...

Introduction. Recently, multilevel inverters (MLIs) have been widely investigated for industrial and renewable energy systems as they are valuable in applications where they can produce clean, high-fidelity electrical si...

The high cost of feed ingredients, the use of non-renewable sources of phosphate and the dramatic increase in the environmental load resulting from the excessive land application of manure are major challenges for the li...

Third-generation biomass constitutes a renewable energy source that could substitute fossil fuels. This study evaluated the biomethane potential (BMP) of Ulva sp., Codium sp. and Undaria pinnatifida through anaerobic dig...

The Comprehensive Environmental Design and Evaluation System (CEDES) is based on a general taxonomic and conceptual framework that allows it to function both as a building sustainability assessment system and as a flexib...

"Poly(amide-triazole) and poly(ester-triazole) synthesized from d-galactose as a renewable resource were applied for the synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) by the emulsification/solvent evaporation method. The NPs were cha...
