“…Data are represented in Tables divided in two sections: Inputs and Outputs.The first column collects the Ecoinvent 3.2 reference flows;The second column contains the amount of energy or material whose evaluation is based on the Nano-grid design and modelling as described in Ref. [1]. A negative number must be used in end of life processes because of the logic used by Ecoinvent in building these processes;The third column contains the unit of measurement of inputs and outputs;The fourth column contains the provider process for the flows;The fifth column contains sources and comments.…”

“…Several Solar Home Systems composed of a photovoltaic plant, a backup generator and different types of lithium-ion batteries are described. Then, the inventory analysis of hybrid Nano-grids integrating batteries and hydrogen storage is outlined according to different scenarios [1]. The inventory analysis presented in this paper corresponds to the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) phase that is a mandatory phase of the Life Cycle Assessment methodology, ISO 14040 standardized procedure for the environmental impact analysis of a product or a system.…”

Datasets concerning some user-scale Smart Grids, named Nano-grids, are reported in this paper. First several Solar Home Systems composed of a photovoltaic plant, a backup generator and different types of lithium-ion batteries are provided. Then, the inventory analysis of hybrid Nano-grids integrating batteries and hydrogen storage is outlined according to different scenarios. These data inventory could be useful for any academic or stakeholder interested in reproducing this analysis and/or developing environmental sustainability assessment in the field of Smart Grids.

In the article, the author substantiates the urgency of the need to develop the innovative potential of the Orenburg region as a territory through which the New Silk Road will pass. The problems of implementing innovations in the Orenburg region and factors contributing to and hindering radical transformations (such as technological progress, a group of growth factors of consumer requirements, factors of reducing reliability, factors of market change, factors of increasing requirements in the field of energy efficiency and environmental security) identified on the basis of statistical analysis indicate a discrepancy between the state of the territory of the Orenburg region and the requirements of the external economic environment, which requires further development of the innovative potential of the territory. It is concluded that it is necessary to implement innovative business projects on the territory of the Orenburg Region, given its border position, which facilitates access to the most effective world technologies.

The internet of things (IoT) is a distributed heterogeneous network of lightweight nodes with very minimal power and storage. The IoT energy system for smart applications such as smart grid, smart building, and smart transportations depends on the IoT architecture, determining the high or lowenergy consumption levels. Most of the IoT objects are power-driven by batteries with short life spans that require replacement. The replacement phase is tedious; hence this paper comprehensively discussed the IoT energy system, energy resources, and energy storage as these three elements are crucial to enable energy efficiency for the IoT applications. In comparison to the batterypowered solutions, the scavenging of infinite quantities of energy makes the IoT systems robust. Therefore, this paper further elaborates on understanding the current situation in terms of renewable energy harvesting for these lowenergy systems. The IoT energy storage highlighted in this paper includes fuel cell, lithium battery, and supercapacitor technology. This paper also provides the findings for IoT energy system challenges and open issues in management and storage in terms of bidirectional, continuity, autonomy, fluctuation, conversion, consumption, integration, multifunction, and stability. This paper will assist researchers in more quality yet practical energy usage and savings, better IoT system architecture, and smart application sustainability.
