“…According to Abu Hamed et al [11], energy prices in Palestine are the highest among countries in the region. Gaza strip is not even supplied with enough energy from the Israeli Electricity Company (IEC) and Egyptian Side to fulfill its needs [12], also oil derivatives are barred from Gaza according to the siege applied. With a population of 2,986,714 inhabitants in West Bank and 1,989,970 in Gaza until mid-2019 [13], Poor Electricity infrastructure and the growing demand for energy [14]; the energy sector is in severe condition.…”

“…The availability of energy, its affordability and sustainability are the factors that define a reliable energy supply that could help in community development and prosperity. For Palestine case; using indigenous resources as RE give it the chance to overcome the barriers imposed by the Israeli occupation in the face of fulfilling Palestinian needs [12]. Palestine is distinguished by promising capabilities of solar, wind and biomass resources, most of Palestine receives solar radiation about 3000 hours annually, and the average solar radiation values range from 5.4 kWh/m 2 .day to 6.0 kWh/m 2 .day [16].…”

Energy is the main player in the community's development in several aspects. Palestine is an occupied developing country which has a complicated energy sector. Renewable Energy (RE) resources are considered the optimal practical solution to mitigate or resolve the energy crisis in Palestine. Most of Palestine receives solar radiation about 3000 hours annually, and the average solar radiation values range from 5.4 kWh/m 2 .day to 6.0 kWh/m 2 .day. These results of solar radiation, in addition to the absence of political restrictions on the use of solar energy technology, make solar energy the most viable and feasible choice among other renewable sources. This work objective is to introduce a comprehensive review of the solar energy prospects in Palestine, its geographical data, applications, legislative, and economic potential in contrast to established projects and modules. This review is based on introducing analyzed information about solar energy characteristics in Palestine, Applied solar systems and technology, the policies and legislation, and a recap of strengths, drawbacks, and recommendations. Results showed that best locations for PV solar energy exploitation are Gaza and south West Bank, and worst is Jericho, which leads to resolve many developmental issues in both rural and urban areas.

“…According to PCBS 2013 data, 99.8 % households in West Bank have a 24-hour access to power, and the daily power service for 97.2 % of households in Gaza Strip is barely 16 hours [12]. The electricity crisis in Gaza Strip has become one of the notable problems that affects different aspects of the Palestinian citizens lives [11,15]. Based on a UN report, in Gaza Strip the demand for energy was about 450 megawatts in 2017, while 120-142 megawatts were only supplied.…”

This study represents an overview on the possibility of using wind energy to fulfill the increasing demand on energy and the lack of supplied energy in the Palestinian territories, by analyzing and discussing former studies in this field. All previous studies mainly depended on historical data, and data from automated meteorological stations for some of the main cities in Palestine. However, the previous researches depended on data collected between 1991 -2013, and used Weibull distribution function to analysing it. Moreover, all these studies agree about the possibility of exploiting wind energy, especially in high areas in Hebron in West Bank and Gaza city in Gaza Strip, to solve both the crisis of shortage electricity and the increase demand on energy. The highest wind energy is in Hebron, and the average month wind speed is between 3 m/s -7.5 m/s, and the lowest wind energy is in Jericho, and the wind speed there is less than 2.5 m/s in most time. Some studies pointed that wind energy potential can be more efficient by using the hybrid PV / Wind system. At the same time, it can minimize the cost of generated energy from using each system independently. However, there are many obstacles of using wind energy to generate electricity in Palestine.

“…Rising energy demands have led to a series of problems, such as increased fossil fuel consumption, depletion of non-renewable resources, environmental pollution problems, and political impacts [1][2][3]. Many scholars have studied clean energy, including wind [4,5], solar [6][7][8], geothermal [9,10], and tidal [11]. The use of batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) [12,13] to replace traditional fossil fuels can effectively reduce the global use of fossil fuels as automotive batteries provided good conversion and storage capabilities.…”

A battery thermal management system (BTMS) ensures that batteries operate efficiently within a suitable temperature range and maintains the temperature uniformity across the battery. A strict requirement of the BTMS is that increases in the battery discharge rate necessitate an increased battery heat dissipation. The advantages of heat pipes (HPs) include a high thermal conductivity, flexibility, and small size, which can be utilized in BTMSs. This paper experimentally examines a BTMS using HPs in combination with an aluminum plate to increase the uniformity in the surface temperature of the battery. The examined system with high discharge rates of 50, 75, and 100 A is used to determine its effects on the system temperature. The results are compared with those for HPs without fins and in ambient conditions. At a 100 A discharge current, the increase in battery temperature using the heat pipe with fins (HPWF) method is 4.8 °C lower than for natural convection, and the maximum temperature difference between the battery surfaces is 1.7 °C and 6.0 °C. The pulse circulation experiment was designed considering that the battery operates with a pulse discharge and temperature hysteresis. The depth of discharge is also considered, and the states-of-charge (SOC) values were 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8. The results of the two heat dissipation methods are compared, and the optimal heat dissipation structure is obtained by analyzing the experimental results. The results show that when the ambient temperature is 37 °C, differences in the SOC do not affect the battery temperature. In addition, the HPWF, HP, and natural convection methods reached stable temperatures of 40.8, 44.3, and the 48.1 °C, respectively the high temperature exceeded the battery operating temperature range.
