“…Once the scenarios have been defined, it is necessary to generate a model that simulates the matching of the price of energy, thus determining the inversely proportional relationship between the % of integration of renewables in the Pool and the price of the resulting energy [2][3][4][5][6].…”

Spain is at the forefront of renewable energy worldwide with a great integration level in its generation mix. This has put Spain in the situation that other countries that support renewable energy will be in a short-medium term. However active measures to support renewable energy have been losing strength in recent times seeking to reduce the deficit. On the one hand, the bonus for each technology is different and, on the other hand, their integration level in the mix, and thus its influence on the Pool, is uneven. This work aims to provide information and conclusions about the actual economic impact of each renewable technology on the pool and the electricity tariff for the Spanish case. For doing so, simulation and artificial intelligence techniques are applied in order to model the energy pool and simulate the electricity prices in five fictitious scenarios that suppress out of the generation mix, respectively, wind, photovoltaic, biomass, small hydraulic, and solar thermal. This way, based on the simulation, and ex-post analysis can be developed in order to obtain conclusions and knowledge, useful for other countries as well as for future decision making in the Spanish power system.

“…Solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation has experienced tremendous growth over recent years, due mainly to environmental concerns, global warming, reductions in PV module costs, government incentives, and a general focus on renewable energy [1]. As reported by the International Energy Agency (IEA), global solar PV generation reached 1179 TWh in 2021 up 22% compared with the previous year.…”

This study analyses the expansion of solar energy in Iran, considering political, economic, social, and technological factors. Due to the prolonged sanctions on Iran, the development of clean energy power plants has been either halted or significantly reduced. Hence, this study aims to identify barriers to the expansion of solar energy power plants and simulate solar power plants using PVsyst (Photovoltaic system) software. The study is unique in its approach of combining technical analysis with social sciences to facilitate the implementation of solar energy expansion in remote areas. This study focuses on two specific areas with high solar radiation, namely Darab and Meybod, which are located in Fars and Yazd provinces, respectively. Solar energy can be generated in these two areas due to their unique location with high levels of solar irritation. To achieve this goal, the technical analyses focuson simulating the performance of a 9 kWp (kilowatt ‘peak’ power output of a system) grid-connected polysilicon(poly-Si) photovoltaic plant for Darab and a 9.90 kWp plant for Meybod. The simulation is carried out to obtain maximum electricity production and evaluate parameters such as incident radiation, performance ratio, energy into the grid, energy output at the array, and losses. The produced energy for Darab was 20.40 MWh/year, with specific production of 2061 kWh/kWp/year, and the performance ratio (PR) was 81.26%. For Meybod, production was 20.70 MWh/year, with specific production of 2091 kWh/kWp/year, and the performance ratio (PR) was 80.88%. Through the PEST analysis, it is evident that strategic planning and appropriate actions are crucial at the provincial, national, and local levels for energy systems’ development. This indicates that both governments and citizens should play an active role in supporting the expansion of energy systems by planning and creating awareness among the public to embrace and adopt energy systems.

“…Recent approaches to energy systems and water have also facilitated the interconnection of these two resources. Energy is used to prepare, transfer and treat water, which in turn is used to enter, process and produce energy (Azofra et al , 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore and investigate the electricity consumption and production and its linkage to economic growth in Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach The authors used an augmented Dickey–Fuller unit root test to check the stationarity of the variables, while an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach and causality test were applied to investigate the variables long-term association with the economic growth. Findings The study results show that electricity consumption in the agriculture, commercial and industrial sector has significant association with economic growth, while electricity consumption in the household and street lights demonstrate a non-significant association with the economic growth. Furthermore, results also exposed that electricity production from coal, hydroelectric, natural gas, nuclear and oil sources have significant association with the economic growth of Pakistan. Originality/value This study made a contribution to the literature regarding electricity consumption and production with economic growth in Pakistan by using an ARDL bounds testing approach and causality test. This study provides a guideline to the government of Pakistan that possible steps are needed to improve the electricity production and supply to fulfill the country demand.
