4.1.1.3Germany Unlike other European countries in this analysis, West Germany did not nationalize its electricity infrastructure following the second World War. Germany’s involvement in the EU eventually led to liberalizing market reforms that promoted more centralization by the rise of larger commercia...
renewable electricity imports in MENA countries with higher geopolitical risks led to the failure of the Desertec project and the Mediterranean Solar Plan, in the aftermath of the wave of political and social upheaval that unleashed in the Middle East and North Africa in 2010–2011 (Escribano, ...
The smallest aggregation level is a single building as an example for data used for modeling low-voltage grids. The randomly selected building of interest is marked red in a north-west cell in the middle part of Fig.3. Following our methods and data this building is a MFH with two HHs (...
An inadequate understanding of the energy needs of forcibly displaced populations is one of the main obstacles in providing sustainable and reliable energy to refugees and their host communities. Here, we provide a first-order assessment of the main fact
Our findings constitute an important qualification to the previously-discovered north-south polarization of electricity demand under climate warming30. Specifically, our results for the tropics suggest that this latitudinal gradient of impact severity is unlikely to extend all the way to the equator. The...
In this study, the azimuth is defined so that azimuth = 0° stands for North, and the value increases clockwise. An alternative definition for azimuth is that 0° stands for South, and the value increases clockwise (i.e., 90° is West and − 90° is East), which is used in some...
Without additional resources, many parts of the nation, especially California, the Rocky Mountain states, New England, Texas, the Southwest, and the Midwest, could again fail to meet the demand for power, warns the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) of Princeton, New Jersey.2...

46 For roof-mounted PV, because tilt and orientation of tilted roofs have a significant impact on capacity factors, we model 16 different deployment situations covering roofs facing east, south, west, and north, with tilts between 18° and 43°. We calculate a weighted average from the ...
