The following chart shows how much more (or less) electricity was produced by the different energy sources each year versus the year before. Data shows that there’s been significant progress in the production of solar and wind power over the past two decades. In 2022, solar added a record...
wind power, which would create an incentive for Ethiopia to retain a seasonality in the Blue Nile flow. We found that this could deliver fivefold benefits across the three countries: decarbonizing power generation in the Eastern Africa Power Pool; allowing compliance with Sudan’s environmental ...
This paper considers options for a future Indian power economy in which renewables, wind and solar, could meet 80% of anticipated 2040 power demand supplanting the country’s current reliance on coal. Using a cost optimization model, here we show that renewables could provide a source of power...
The advent of renewable energy technologies, such as solar photovoltaic (PV), wind and micro-hydroelectricity has allowed electricity to be generated independently of the national utility grid. The sustainability of such off-grid energy projects is crucial to foster socio-economic development of these...
To segregate the prediction outliers from the more accurate predictions made during the TOB tuning process, a series of filters are applied to the TOB MW prediction versus recorded measurements. A filter applying a squared prediction error (SE) of 2 × 107(plus or minus prediction error of...
Shown in the right panels are plots of the arrival time versus energy for the particles observed by a spacecraft placed at 1 AU (and at a particular longitude and latitude). For the localized-source case, there are distinct dropouts in particle intensity. The dropouts are absent for the ...
Energy Power Spectra Measured at an Interplanetary Shock by the New Horizon's SWAP Experiment: 1D Full Particle Simulations versus Observations One-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are used to analyze the energy spectra measured by the New Horizons' Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) inst...
Concentrated solar power versus natural gas Frequently asked questions about CSP Is concentrated solar power better than photovoltaics? CSP can deliver better grid stability than photovoltaics because of its dispatchable nature, but producing electricity with PV panels is currently far cheaper and more ...
gaps, often associated with extreme weather episodes. For instance, historical solar and wind resources data in Germany reveal that there were nearly 2 weeks in which dispatchable generation had to cover practically all of the demand because of a period with very low solar and wind power ...
Climate mitigation scenarios envision considerable growth of wind and solar power, but scholars disagree on how this growth compares with historical trends. Here we fit growth models to wind and solar trajectories to identify countries in which growth ha
