“…In (7), k is the wholesale price on the generation side and θ k is the retailer's fixed operating costs in period k. The sum of the first two items in the equation represents the whole revenue of electricity sales and connection charges for the retailer and the sum of the third and fourth items represents the total cost of electricity purchase and fixed operation for the retailer's wholesale market. This paper presents its revenue and expenditure surplus function by describing the difference between total revenue and total cost for the retailer.…”

“…Meanwhile, the enhancement of global retail market reform and widely deployed smart meters offer the policy environment and data support for large-scale penetration of distributed renewable energy. According to the prior empirical research [6][7][8], the integration of distributed renewable energy into the power system has proven to be a dynamic technological diffusion process affected by the pricing mechanism. The general tariff structures in the electricity market include the feed-in price, the time-of-use (TOU) price, the ladder price etc.…”

Wind Power Potentials in Cameroon and Nigeria: Lessons from South Africa

Abstract:Wind energy has seen a tremendous growth for electricity generation worldwide and reached 456 GW by the end of June 2016. According to the World Wind Energy Association, global wind power will reach 500 GW by the end of 2016. Africa is a continent that possesses huge under-utilized wind potentials. Some African countries, e.g., Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia and South Africa, have already adopted wind as an alternative power generation source in their energy mix. Among these countries, South Africa has invested heavily in wind energy with operational wind farms supplying up to 26,000 GWh annually to the national grid. However, two African countries, i.e., Cameroon and Nigeria, have vast potentials, but currently are lagging behind in wind energy development. For Nigeria, there is slow implementation of renewable energy policy, with no visible operational wind farms; while Cameroon does not have any policy plan for wind power. These issues are severely hindering both direct foreign and local investments into the electricity sector. Cameroon and Nigeria have huge wind energy potentials with similar climatic conditions and can benefit greatly from the huge success recorded in South Africa in terms of policy implementation, research, development and technical considerations. Therefore, this paper reviews the wind energy potentials, policies and future renewable energy road-maps in Cameroon and Nigeria and identifies their strength and weakness, as well as providing necessary actions for future improvement that South Africa has already adopted.

“…Cross-country comparison can highlight measures on why a policy is effectively promoting a RE carrier (such as biomethane). In addition to the comparison of specific technologies, the cross-country comparison of a set of policies has also been subject to research, i.e., FiT evaluation in Spain and Germany [45] or the comparison of renewable obligation system in the UK and feed-in tariffs in Germany [46]. In terms of biogas promotion in Africa, a comprehensive review comparing promotion policies from different countries in Europe, Asia, and America was conducted by Kemausuor et al in 2018 [39].…”

Biogas Upgrading: A Review of National Biomethane Strategies and Support Policies in Selected Countries

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bioenergy contributes significantly towards the share of renewable energies, in Europe and worldwide. Besides solid and liquid biofuels, gaseous biofuels, such as biogas or upgraded biogas (biomethane), are an established renewable fuel in Europe. Although many studies consider biomethane technologies, feedstock potentials, or sustainability issues, the literature on the required legislative framework for market introduction is limited. Therefore, this research aims at identifying the market and legislative framework conditions in the three leading biomethane markets in Europe and compare them to the framework conditions of the top six non-European biomethane markets. This study shows the global status and national differences in promoting this renewable energy carrier. For the cross-country comparison, a systematic and iterative literature review is conducted. The results show the top three European biomethane markets (Germany, United Kingdom, Sweden) and the six non-European biomethane markets (Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States of America), pursuing different promotion approaches and framework conditions. Noteworthy cross-national findings are the role of state-level incentives, the tendency to utilise biomethane as vehicular fuel and the focus on residues and waste as feedstock for biomethane production. Presenting a cross-country comparison, this study supports cross-country learning for the promotion of renewable energies like biomethane and gives a pertinent overview of the work.
