The article will contain a scientific analysis, showing thematic links between publications and consist of searching the data in the Scopus database. The timeframe of the searched publications will be 2010–2022. The parameters should also be narrowed down by selecting the following indexes: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E), Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), which was intended to eliminate abstracts of books and conference materials, leaving only reviewed works with the highest level of relevance for furthering knowledge. An additional limit of five minimum citations will be introduced. The analysis included 342 articles. Texts cited at least 100 times were highlighted. The research showed that authors focus piecemeal on selected aspects or problems, so an attempt was made to show thematic connections of keywords, illustrating the complexity of the transformations underway. The discussion identifies the most active authors and countries, especially exploring the topic of a transition to a sustainable energy system for smart cities. The authors have employed scientometric analysis to provide an objective and data-driven exploration of the transformation of sustainable energy systems for smart cities. This approach offers valuable insights into the research landscape, trends, and relationships within the field, which can guide future scientific research and contribute to a deeper understanding of the subject matter. As an additional element of this conclusion, the authors proposed supplementing the scientometric analysis with the foresight methodology. The authors’ research approach is distinguished by the following stages: problem formulation, data collection, choice of scientometric methodology, analysis of advantages and limitations of scientometrics, clustering analysis, data analysis, and presentation of results. Our systematic literature review systematizes the existing literature on the sustainable energy systems for smart cities, isolates main research interests, identifies future research avenues, and provides several important hints for researchers.

“…At present, due to the cost reduction of renewable power equipments, such as solar PV panels and balance of system (BOS), distributed green power generation has become an interesting alternative for powering remote islands. Apart from the extensive efforts made to increase the applicability of various renewable energy systems to respond the climate change (Kim et al, 2021), green power generation also minimizes the use of fossil fuel in power generation. Hybrid renewable power is of increasing interest for cleaner production in remote islands.…”

This paper presents the optimization of a 10 MW solar/wind/diesel power generation system with a battery energy storage system (BESS) for one feeder of the distribution system in Koh Samui, an island in southern Thailand. The main objectives are to maximize the deployment of renewable energy-based power generation and to minimize the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). A hybrid renewable energy-based power generation system, consisting of solar PV, wind turbine generators, diesel generator (DiG), bi-directional grid-tied charging inverter (CONV) and BESS, was simulated using HOMER Pro®. This study accessed the database of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the Surface meteorology and Solar Energy (SSE) for the global solar radiation and temperature, along with the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA-2) wind database. The simulations show that Scenario 1 (PV/Wind/DiG/BESS/CONV) and Scenario 3 (PV/DiG/BESS/CONV) are the optimal configurations regarding the economic indicators (i.e. minimum net present costs (NPC) of 438 M$ and LCOE of 0.20 $/kWh) and the environmental indicators (i.e. lowest greenhouse gases (GHG) emission avoidances of 6,339 tonnes/year and highest renewable fraction (RF) of 89.4%). Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis illustrates that Scenario 3 offers the optimal system type with the largest annual energy production (AEP). Besides contributing to the body of knowledge of optimization methodologies for microgrid hybrid power systems, the outcome of this work will assist the regional energy practitioners and policy makers regarding optimal configurations of microgrid hybrid systems in the development of a Green Island concept for Koh Samui.

Effect of Various Dusts and Humidity on the Performance of Renewable Energy Modules

et al. 2023

Due to the depletion of fossil fuels, cost-effective and efficient alternate energy resources are a major topic of research nowadays. Solar energy is one of the renewable energy sources which is under research. The main emphasis is on developing new technologies for harnessing the sun’s energy efficiently. Solar photovoltaic (PV) cells are one such technology that works on the principle of the photovoltaic effect, with the electric output generated by it being directly influenced by the amount of light reaching the surface of the cell. Identification of those parameters, which act as an obstacle between light and the solar cell surface and decrease the efficiency of the cell drastically, is necessary. This research study focuses on the environmental parameters (dust and humidity) that directly influence PV cell performance. Here, experiments were conducted by using different types of dusts (sand, soil, ash) of varying quantities and then finding their effect on PV cell output. The results clearly indicate an adverse effect of quantity of dust on performance of the solar PV cell. Moreover, the relative humidity effect on the PV cell performance was also checked, which shows significant change in efficiency for high relative humidity.
