The Chinese government has set long-term carbon neutrality and renewable energy (RE) development goals for the power sector. Despite a precipitous decline in the costs of RE technologies, the external costs of renewable intermittency and the massive inve
In this paper, we conduct research on the choice of alternative technologies of coal resources and cost trend analysis under the background of coal price fluctuation. Compared with the traditional power generation, clean energy as a new generation of the distributed generation technology, the same ...
Japan substantially benefitted from the export of coal-fired and geothermal power plant equipment. This yielded a benefit-to-cost ratio of over 3.0 for Japan for both projects. These findings underscore the importance of conducting comprehensive overseas project assessments that integrate climate change...
Capital costs are expressed in terms of cost per kW installed, and modified by a capital recovery factor which calculates the equivalent annuity payment required to service the overnight capital over the term of the project's financing, and operating costs are expressed in terms of cost per kWh...
The reforms have resulted in significant achievements in boosting supply and per-head consumption. This section critically reviews the functioning of day-ahead and intraday wholesale electricity markets in India and the impact of external shocks on these markets, such as rises in coal prices, COVID...
1. Energy is one of the driving forces in socio-economic development (Olsson 1994). Sustainable development must be predicated on a sustainable energy system. To that end, nuclear energy is recogni...
Results show that for a degree of hybridization of 0.3, the environmental impact of the hybrid-electric configuration increased by 15.1%, while the operating costs increased by 41.0% compared to a conventional reference aircraft. For a future scenario, favourable for hybrid-electric aircraft with i...
Coal-fired steamships took the guesswork out of Maritime navigation, ensuring passengers and cargo arrived safely, promptly and on schedule. Bucking the trend set by the Industrial Revolution, Australia’s wind power capital, South Australia … Continue reading Wind Power Chaos: There When You Don...
Per kWh delivered, the future H2 price should be less than roughly one-third that of electricity to make hydrogen supply part of an optimal mix. This is a slightly lower threshold than what was found for a single-family house in Germany (Knosala et al., 2022), which is expected since ...
This trend responds to the ongoing growth of end-user demand for services that can be delivered anytime, anywhere, on any web-capable device, and of traffic generated by new applications, e.g., the Internet of Things. To support the massive traffic generated by the enormous user base and ...
