“…The main reason is the plentiful oil and gases reservoir in the country which led to the low price of fossil fuel for electricity generation [55]. Haghparast Kashani et al investigated solar energy potential and solar system capacity in Iran and illustrated these potentials on the various maps [56]. The various colors in Figure 6 illustrate various solar irradiation and the household electricity consumption for each province has specified on this map in terms of megawatt-hours.…”

In this study end-users energy consumption of Iran are predicted using ANN (artificial neural network) by historical data and socioeconomic parameters (1990-2013) up to 2030 horizon. Iran energy balances are forecasted by bottom up analysis using LEAP (long-range energy alternative planning). On other hand solar energy promotion policies around the world, Iran policies and its solar energy potentials are investigated. Novel policy for Iran photovoltaic systems promotion are proposed and impact of this scenario implementation evaluated on Iran energy balance. Result show 750 MBOE (million barrel of oil equivalents) will be saved and 320 million metric tons co 2 equivalent emission reduced up to 2030.

Summary Due to population growth and industrial development, Iran is facing the challenge of energy supply in various industrial, power plant, agricultural, and residential sectors. While most of Iran's energy supply comes from fossil fuels, these fuels have devastating environmental impacts. Therefore, Iran has to invest more in its renewable energy sources. Given that many locations of Iran have significant wind, solar, and geothermal potential, this study used a combination of SWOT, multicriteria decision‐making approaches, and game theory to identify the best renewable energy development plans for the country. The Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) technique was applied to weight the criteria and sub‐criteria. Impact on the environment, resource potential, and power generation cost with weights of 0.218, 0.182, and 0.145 was recognized as the most important sub‐criteria, respectively. To rank the factors in each SWOT dimension, namely, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, the Grey Additive Ratio ASsessment (ARAS‐Grey) method was then used. Using the game theory and fuzzy Shapley value, the best combination of renewable energy development strategies was determined to be SO1ST3WO1WT1 with a value of (1.72, 0.58, 0.3). The development of high‐efficiency wind and solar technologies and the minimization of output fluctuations and loss through energy storage methods such as hydrogen production and battery banks were identified as the best strategy combination for renewable energy development in Iran.

“…Geographically, Iran is one of the countries located in the most favorable solar belt areas that exposed to the greatest amount of solar radiation (4.5-5.5 kWh/m 2 per year, with 300 sunny days per year), more than 90% of which comes as direct radiation because of limited cloud coverage and rainfall [1]. Also, there are wide desert areas in Iran.…”

In this study, optimal sizing and scheduling of cogeneration based hybrid system is done to economically meet electrical and thermal demands simultaneously. Demands can be met by grid or distributed generation (DG) resources. In order to come closer to reality, it is assumed that the distribution network has limited the maximum power usage. So, if the user has a request more than the determined value, the new distributed branch should be constructed for costumers. Depend upon the type of request, the costumer should pay some or all of the feeder foundation cost. Determining the type of agreement, size and planning of the system is investigated in this paper. Also, several scenarios are analyzed. Firstly, it is assumed that only the combined heat and power (CHP) system is selected as a DG resource. In second and third scenarios the hybrid PV/CHP and wind/CHP are investigated, respectively. Finally, hybrid PV/Wind/ CHP is analyzed in the last scenario. The results show that the hybrid PV/CHP/Wind system is more affordable than the others.
