Abstract Power generation and consumption globally has always been on the top agenda for any country since it contributes to the basic needs of human beings. In the race of bridging the supply and demand gap, human beings created side effects in the name of environmental pollution. The alternate source of energy is renewable energy, and many nations are committed to adopting these new forms of energy generation; these still contribute lesser than one-fourth of global energy consumption and power generation. This study aims to focus on knowledge integration for the performance of the renewable business segment. It creates a more practical alternative against other forms of energy generations like Thermal, natural gas-based. There are areas like a waste of energy as an example where it is still a lesser-known world. Many measurement techniques are still explored, which suggests Knowledge plays a vital role in the Business Performance of Renewable and Sustainable energy and in implementing Global Climate Control Strategies. The study results indicate the energy sector’s transformation into the renewable energy sector, highlighting innovations, knowledge integration, effect on performance, and role of management & government.

As Korea aims to increase the extent to which renewable energy sources (RES) account for up to 20% of the total power generated in the country by 2030, the feasibility of this target is a major concern. This concern largely results from the Korean power system possessing unique characteristics, such as its electrical isolation and high density. To achieve the RES target, the reliable operation of the power system must coexist with an increased share of RES power generation. This study proposes a method to evaluate the penetration limit of RES in the Korean power system considering the existing plans for the long-term electricity supply and demand, as well as its operational requirements. The Korea electric power corporation (KEPCO) planning database of the Korean power system for the next 15 years was employed to determine the penetration limit of RES considering the reliability criteria, including the minimum power generation of conventional sources, primary frequency control requirement, 10-min reserve requirement, and frequency stability.

Electricity is the engine for the growth of economy of any country. Total installed electricity generation capacity of Pakistan is presently approx 20,000 MW as given in Table-1. Despite this, almost 40% of the population is without electricity. Pakistan has been blessed with tremendous resources for electrical power generation with hydel, coal, renewable energy resources and Nuclear power. Hydel, coal potential of more than 40,000 MW and 10,000 MW are available but only 15% of hydroelectric potential has been harnessed so for where as only 150 MW power plant on indigenous coal has been set up. To exploit Pakistan hydel and coal resources for power generation large investments are needed which Pakistan economy can not afford. Govt. of Pakistan has created an organization of private power and infrastructure board (PPIB) to facilitate private sector in the participation of power generator. PPIB is tapping the resources and facilitating the private sector for establishment of power projects. Pakistan is collaborating with China for establishment of Nuclear Power Plants and plan to generate up to 10,000 MW by year 2025. Renewable energy resources are also required to be tapped. This paper will focus on the Pakistan power generation potential by utilizing local resources keeping in view the next 20 year supply and demand position.

Introducción: la energía eólica ha crecido de forma acelerada en los últimos 20 años y los sitios para instalar parques eólicos se empiezan a agotar. Las turbinas eólicas de pequeña escala representan una alternativa viable, en particular en zonas boscosas: de bajo potencial eólico y alta turbulencia. Objetivo: presentar una revisión de los perfiles aerodinámicos para aerogeneradores de pequeña escala, para determinar su posible aplicación en zonas boscosas. Materiales y métodos: se efectúa una revisión literaria en las bases de datos Web of Science y Scopus, sobre turbinas eólicas de pequeña escala de eje horizontal, en las revistas Energy, Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews y Renewable Energy, entre otras. Se define una clasificación de tres grandes grupos para los perfiles aerodinámicos: de uso muy frecuente, de uso con frecuencia media y de uso con baja frecuencia. Resultados: los perfiles de uso muy frecuente son el SG6043, S809 y NACA0012, siendo el primero de ellos el que presenta mejor desempeño aerodinámico. A pesar de esto, otros perfiles como el SH3055 son ampliamente usados en turbinas eólicas de pequeña escala. Conclusiones: un perfil adecuado para una turbina eólica de pequeña escala para zonas boscosas debe ser diseñado para regulación por pérdida (stall) y poseer una alta robustez ante cambios de rugosidad superficial. El perfil con mayor potencial, según la literatura para esta aplicación, es el SG6043, siendo 110 % y 85 % más eficiente que NACA0012 y S809, respectivamente, para un Re de 2 x 105; empero, se requiere más investigación en temas como desempeño aerodinámico de los perfiles ante altos niveles de turbulencia.

AbstractRenewable energy sources and low-carbon power generation systems with carbon capture and storage (CCS) are expected to be key contributors towards the decarbonisation of the energy sector and to ensure sustainable energy supply in the future. However, the variable nature of wind and solar power generation systems may affect the operation of the electricity system grid. Deployment of energy storage is expected to increase grid stability and renewable energy utilisation. The power sector of the future, therefore, needs to seek a synergy between renewable energy sources and low-carbon fossil fuel power generation. This can be achieved via wide deployment of CCS linked with energy storage. Interestingly, recent progress in both the CCS and energy storage fields reveals that technologies such as calcium looping are technically viable and promising options in both cases. Novel integrated systems can be achieved by integrating these applications into CCS with inherent energy storage capacity, as well as linking other CCS technologies with renewable energy sources via energy storage technologies, which will maximise the profit from electricity production, mitigate efficiency and economic penalties related to CCS, and improve renewable energy utilisation.

Turbin angin adalah salah satu alternatif untuk mengurangi beban listrik di wilayah perkotaan. Di wilayah perkotaan terdapat gedung bertingkat dengan jumlah yang cukup banyak. Sehingga menjadi lokasi yang tepat untuk aplikasi turbin angin sekaligus mengurangi beban listrik. Tipe turbin yang tepat untuk aplikasi gedung bertingkat adalah turbin angin sumbu vertikal (VAWT). Salah satu jenis VAWT adalah turbin Savonius. Turbin angin Savonius konvensional memiliki kinerja yang rendah seperti koefisien daya dan torsi yang rendah dibandingkan dengan turbin angin jenis lain. Ini terjadi karena aliran angin dapat menyebabkan tekanan negatif pada salah satu sisi sudu. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, turbin angin Savonius konvensional dikombinasikan dengan guide vane. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mempelajari pengaruh guide vane terhadap performa dan karakteristik pola aliran sekitar turbin angin Savonius. Model numerik dihitung menggunakan persamaan Navier-Stokes dengan model turbulen k-ε standar. Analisa  menggunakan software ANSYS-Fluent R15. Simulasi dilakukan pada arah angin yang berbeda, antara lain: 0o, 30o, 60o pada kecepatan angin 2 m/s. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guide vane mampu menambah laju aliran udara yang menuju sudu turbin dan meningkatkan performa turbin angin Savonius sebesar 22,2%. Kata kunci: CFD, guide vane, performa, pola aliran, turbin angin SavoniusDaftar RujukanAkwa, J.

In Japan, breakthroughs to improve the share of renewable energy in the energy mix have become an urgent issue. However, the problem could not be solved by simply adding more power plants for various technical reasons, such as the unsuitability of using renewable energy as baseloads due to its intermittency. Furthermore, establishing the required cooperative systems for regionally distributed power adjustment is also tricky. Based on these backgrounds, this paper constructs an operation plan that minimizes CO2 emissions by correcting the generation and load patterns of the renewable energy of solar power, utilizing power generation from waste as a substitute for baseload power, and estimating the power demand of each facility. The result shows that by adjusting the operation plans, the model can reduce CO2 emission by 20.95 and 8.30% in weeks with high and low solar power generation surpluses, respectively. Furthermore, these results show that it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions in regions that have power sources with low CO2 emission coefficients by forecasting the amount of power generation and power load in the region and appropriately planning the operation in advance.
