“…However, even with few studies in this field, it is observed that the approaches are quite varied and conducted under the most different aspects, areas of knowledge, and geographical areas. Hariharan (2020) and Naderipour et al (2020), for example, assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the increase in PV generation. They attest that, since the lockdown caused by the restrictive measures reduced the movement of people and industrial production, there was also a reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases, which intensified the solar radiation on the PV panels and, consequently, increased the generation of electricity of these systems.…”

In the search for sustainability in the energy sector, photovoltaic solar energy (PV) has been highlighted as a solution to promote sustainable development. As PV technology expands, there is a need for studies to assess how the new market behaves in different scenarios with the consequent elaboration of different indicators. Following an interdisciplinary approach, and based on the epistemological paradigm of Design Science, the objective of this study was to analyse, preceded by selection and evaluation, indicators that reflect a possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Micro and Mini Photovoltaic Distributed Generation (MMDG) market in Brazil in 2020 and 2021. To do so, it was characterized through a systematic literature review - SLR, the state of the art about impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the photovoltaic market and photovoltaic systems indicators. Subsidized by RSL and supported by the core literature on the subject, the Photovoltaic Systems Monthly Installed Power Capacity indicator was selected. Then, the analysis of this was carried out, by means of feeding the indicator using a query in the open database of the brazilian National Electric Energy Agency - ANEEL. It was identified that with the initial general awareness, caused by the first peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the photovoltaic market suffered a reduction in the Monthly Installed Power Capacity, however, after this initial moment, the indicator recovered, suggesting a capacity for resilience and adaptation of this market, overcoming the difficulties and new challenges encountered, maintaining the pace of growth observed before the pandemic.

“…Other subfactors such as the lockdown of streets, shutdown of public markets, and psychological factors were the top three factors adding to increased energy consumption. In a recent study, an environmental analysis was performed by Ramya Hariharan (Hariharan 2020) to investigate the emission reductions in India during covid-19 pandemic on solar irradiance. A robust ARIMA-based model was used to forecast the solar irradiance levels.…”

This paper presents data analysis on the electricity generation mix during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. The main objective was to assess the percentage changes in energy supply (total energy generation, electricity generation from fossil fuels-coal and natural gas; renewablessolar PV, wind, Biomass, Hydro; and nuclear), energy demand (actual loads), and greenhouse gas emissions (CO 2 emissions) during the

“…However, the novelty of this paper is preventing these effects in the predisaster phase considering effective planning of the PPE supply chain. In addition to the effects of the COVID-19 in air quality and rainfall accumulation (Saravanan 2020), the effects of the COVID-19 in air quality during pre and postlockdown (Balasubramaniam et al 2020) and the effects of an increase in solar radiation levels on the power in the tropical solar parks during the postCOVID-19 period (Hariharan 2020); the impacts of COVID-19 on waste management were addressed by (Van Fan et al 2020) and Penteado and Castro (20202020). Budak and Ustundag (2017) provided a mixed-integer model for the collection, transportation, and disposal decisions of medical waste in Turkey.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) brings about severe disruptions for human living, economics, and environmental balance. This pandemic has boosted the demand for personal protective equipment (PPE) and thus, medical wastes. Thus, a research hypothesis is stated whether it would be possible to provide more efficient distribution and inventory planning to optimize the PPE availability in a fuzzy environment. To confirm the hypothesis, in addition to addressing a scientific novelty considering integration of linear programming with fuzzy parameters, named as the Jimenez's method and clustering heuristic methods, the practicality of these approaches is provided on a real case study and generated instances from Turkey. The computational results reveal that clustering the 32% of the hospitals ensures optimum total cost and solution time while feasibility degree changes between 0, 4, and 1 values of the Jimenez are not more effective on the results. Improved cost results reveal the economic importance of the healthcare supply chain management and optimal PPE distribution and inventory planning can break down the disease propagation and reduce the detrimental impacts on human life. The proposed approach, for the first time, ensures practical and theoretical insights of distribution and storage decisions across disciplines, namely, engineering and health-care organization authorities.
