Considering this, the site suitability analysis of DCs in this study was performed using four factors that were assessed at municipality level: (a) F1-Percentage renewable energy utilization (REU%, i.e., The ratio of total electricity consumption to the production from wind, hydro, or biomass ...
To achieve the goal of deep decarbonization of the electricity system, more and more variable renewable energy (VRE) is being adopted. However, there is no consensus among researchers on whether the goal can be accomplished without large cost escalation if nuclear power is excluded in the future...
China today imports 60% of its oil consumption, and the percentage is even higher for natural gas. Coal is the only carbon-based energy resource in abundance, but the country has ample resources for solar and wind power generation. If China were to use just 10% of its ...
