This paper is aimed at preliminary study on the contribution of solar power within 15 years, since generation of electricity represents the highest percent of the fossil fuel consumption. The significant increase of electricity demand in Saudi Arabia means that power generation will expand and that will lead to increased consumption of fossil fuels. This rapid increase of the conventional generation...
In the perspective of the fossil fuels deposits depletion new energy resources must be developed; amongst them the renewable energy sector seems to be able to provide a long term solution. Besides the already popular wind, solar or thermal energies, the ocean energy sector offers a virtually infinite energy potential; many solutions for harvesting and converting this energy into usable form are under...
This paper describes an undergraduate or graduate level student project that involves the design of an energy-efficient standalone distributed generation system integrating existing fossil fuel based energy sources with renewable energy sources and smart grid technologies for off-grid communities. One such application is the development of stand-alone electric power sources for Native American villages...
As a small-scale renewable energy source, micro-hydropower can substitute fossil fuel to relief the energy shortage and acquire comprehensive benefits for the society, ecology as well as economy in mountain areas. However, the development and promotion of micro-hydropower are constrained by inferior management level and limited understanding on its benefits, of which only direct economic benefit is...
