“…Apart from India, about 200GW power has been produced and utilized by 83 countries around the world in 2011 (Dewei et al, 2013). In Lithuania according to the report at 2016 shows that the capacity of the installed wind power plant is about 507MW (Audrius et al, 2018). Since the requirement for renewable energy resources increases, the progress on renewable resources gets increased every year (Erik, 2017).…”

Energy is the backbone of the evolution of humanity, it has assisted mankind to endeavor through various ages of history. The quest to obtain energy with minimal expenditure and pollution is still being worked on and will continue on in the future. Even in this modern age, energy production in several developing countries often falls short of energy requirements which results in frequent power cuts. As the world economy continues to grow, energy consumption is expected to continue to grow. Fossil fuel is limited, so it is important to consider other sources of energy e.g. renewables especially solar to meet the energy demands in the future. The world has diverse solar energy sources which are not yet fully explored. This review sheds light on the solar renewable energy and other non-renewable sources of energy available in the world and a comparative analysis of both the energy resources across the world is also included as a separate section titled 'Comparative analysis'. It also gives a brief overview of the various techniques employed by different countries to overcome the energy crisis through and also a framework for employing such techniques in countries which are lagging in energy production in order to fully avail the benefits of energy sources, which are abundant in the world.

“…The environmental hazard of global warming also makes contribution. All this forces to search and improve alternative methods of energy conversion, including those that use wind power [2]. At the same time, the problem of energy supply of rural settlements, often remote from energy transmission lines, is equally acute.…”

The methodology is proposed and the simulation model of functioning of the energy supply system of agricultural enterprises using wind power installations is developed, which enables to solve the problem of justification of the parameters of the relevant system. The model of the energy supply system of an agricultural enterprise using wind power is developed, which is based on the method of stochastic simulation and provides justification of the parameters of this system by the cost criterion. On the basis of passive production experiments, the study of the naturalindustrial conditions of energy supply of agricultural enterprises using the wind power installations for the conditions of Zhovkva district of Lviv region was performed. Computer experiments were carried out using the developed simulation model of functioning of the energy supply system of agricultural enterprises using wind power installations. On the example of the natural and production conditions of Zhovkva district of Lviv region, system functional indicators of the energy supply system of agricultural enterprises with the use of wind power installations are established. The tendencies of change in the cost of utilized energy for changes in parameters of the energy supply system of an agricultural enterprise using wind energy and the share of its replacement are justified.

“…The global community has started focusing on renewable energy as an important part of the energy portfolio [11], a method of effective waste minimization and sustainable production [12], and a mechanism for achieving sustainable development [13]. Jonaitis et al [14] report that in order to mitigate the effects of human activities on the environment, governments worldwide have promoted the use of renewable energy sources which can be used to generate power permanently [15], i.e., solar, wind, biomass, hydro and geothermal energy, ocean wave energy, and biofuels [16][17][18]. The developing technologies that are becoming cheaper allow wider renewable energy development [14].…”

“…Kazakhstan coal is predominantly high ash (primarily Ekibastuz coal with ash content of 35-53% [43]) and polluting since thermal power plants are not routinely fitted with sulfur and nitrogen oxide flue gas scrubbers [44]. According to Jonaitis et al [14], major problems which must be solved to support the development of wind energy are the ensurance of power transmission capacity of the electricity network, balancing the energy generated by wind power plants related to the error control of forecasting, and transition of the energy system from conventional to renewable generation. The electricity transmission networks across Kazakhstan are inefficient with losses during transmission and distribution estimated at approximately 15% of energy produced.…”

In recent years, the environmental effects of energy production have increasingly entered into the foreground of the sustainable development agenda. Hydrocarbon-abundant countries are blamed to become the largest emitters of greenhouse gases, trace metals, and other pollutants due to extensive use of oil, gas, and coal in energy production. Combustion of fossil fuels for heat and power generation is reported to be among the major reasons for progressing climate change globally. The United Nations and other international actors have called on national governments to substantially increase the share of renewable energy, but the main point is how to incentivize the resource-rich countries to shift to greener technologies. For the example of Kazakhstan, whose energy sector is centered on coal, this paper discusses the challenges and prospects of wind power as both an environmentally friendly and efficient option to support a transition of a resource-rich country to a green economy and a sustainable energy future. Forty-two locations across the country have been assessed on the parameters of average annual wind speed, wind availability, and four types of potential for wind power production: gross, technical, economic, and emissions reduction. Some of the key findings are that at the height below 50 m above ground level, wind power production is economically viable in electricity-deficientt southern territories, particularly, in Djungar, Saryzhas, Zhuzimdyk, and Taraz. In western, central, and northern parts of Kazakhstan, at a height above 50 m, the most promising areas for wind power production are Caspian, Northwestern, Central, and Tarbagatay corridors. The paper identifies the areas with the highest emission reduction potential and elaborates the policies to encourage the selection of wind farm locations based on their “economic potential-environmental effect” ratio. The approach allows assessing the opportunities, which decentralized wind energy systems offer to transition away from a dependence on fossil fuels and to enable sustainable economic growth.
