“…Implementing renewable energy is very important for many countries in the world, because of the global warming, environmental hazards, and many other adverse effects of using fossil fuels. There have been numerous research works using different kinds of renewable energies [18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Solar energy has been used to preserve agricultural products which require drying through a consistent application of relatively low heat. In the present study, the feasibility of implementation the solar dryer system in the city of Yazd in Iran is evaluated by examining the effective factors. By identifying factors which may somehow affect the design, construction and operation of solar drying systems, a questionnaire was prepared and distributed. Among the results of the analysis, six main factors were identified: "performance," "geographical location," "infrastructures," "interactions," "financial support" and "social, cultural and political issues." According to the results obtained from factor analysis and with Structural Equations Modelling (SEM) method, a model was introduced. Subsequently, the final model was developed with the use of path analysis method and with AMOS. Based on the final model, the three factors of infrastructures (with the coefficient of 0.44), interactions and cultural, social and political issues (both with the coefficient of 0.12) directly affect the possibility of implementing the solar dryer in Yazd. According to the proposed model, it was concluded that authorities should mainly focus their attentions on finance, science, economy and infrastructures to develop and promote use of solar drying systems.

“…Therefore, the DEMATEL method allows decision-makers to decide according to paired comparisons and feedback of relations, which is a significant superiority of this method. Besides, the DEMATEL method accepts all transferable relations and can sight every possible feedback, which is another superiority of the DEMATEL method compared to others ( Shahbodaghlou and Samani, 2012 , Mostafaeipour et al, 2019 ). In other words, the DEMATEL method can generate the effect relation map of factors, which provides the opportunity to perform a causal analysis among various factors ( Kou et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Hydrogen production systems from renewable energy have been the subject of various studies [14]. Hydrogen production from renewable energy has been performed in different regions of Iran, such as Baluchestan [15], the Southern and Northern coasts of Iran [16], Firuzkuh [17], Fars Province [18], etc. Meanwhile, the production of hydrogen from renewable energy in Bostegan has not been studied so far.…”

The emerging environmental consequences of overdependence on fossil fuels have pushed many countries to invest in clean and renewable sources of power. Countries like Iran where these sources can be found in abundance can take advantage of this potential to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. This study investigated the feasibility of the standalone use of a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) to power buildings in the Bostegan village in the Hormozgan province of Iran. Technical, economic, and environmental assessments were performed with the help of the Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER) software, and the optimal configuration for the system components was determined accordingly. The results showed that the simultaneous use of wind and solar systems with a converter and a backup system comprised of a diesel generator and batteries will be the most economic option, offering electricity at a cost of 1.058 USD/kWh and with a renewable fraction of 64%. After selecting the most optimal system using the step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) and weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) techniques, a sensitivity analysis with 27 parameter settings was performed to determine the effect of fuel price fluctuations and the uncertainty in the renewable energy potentials on the results. This analysis showed that in the worst-case scenario, the price of electricity will reach as high as 1.343 $/kWh. In the end, the study investigated an alternative scenario where the generated power is used for hydrogen production, which showed that the system output can be used to produce 643.63 ton-H2/year.
