Abstract:In utility power system, electricity demand is being covered largely by fossil fueled power generation, which contributes high level of GHG (greenhouse gas) emission and causes global warming worldwide. In order to reduce GHG emission level, most of the countries in the world targeting towards green energy that is power generation from RE (renewable energy) sources. In this paper, it is considered to study prospects of RE sources in particular, solar and wind in Victoria State which are abundant as compared to other sources of renewable. The wind and solar energy feasibility study and sensitivity analysis has been done for Victoria with the aid of HOMER (hybrid optimization model of electric renewable) simulation software. From the study, it has clearly evicted that wind energy combinational HPS (hybrid power system) has more contribution, and high potential than solar PV (photovoltaic) systems for a particular location. This study also investigates the influences of energy storage in the proposed HPS.

“…A transition to renewable energy has been noted as necessary to meet a -critical need…and overcomes various problems associated with the existing power system‖ [3]. Indeed, renewable energy can help to mitigate the greenhouse gas situation and can be used to offset the growing issues associated with declining oil production and increased difficulty with respect to extraction.…”

“…Renewable energy is part of the solution to reduce dependence on fossil fuels by 70 percent by 2040 and offer savings of nearly $5.5 trillion per year [4]. Currently, the contribution of renewable energy to the world's energy needs has been positioned as high as 15%-20% [3]. This contribution however -is expected to increase to 60% by 2070‖ [5].…”

Abstract:Researchers have positioned renewable energy as sustainable and able to mitigate environmental issues associated with fossil fuels. Further, sustainable initiatives have been offered as a point of differentiation for brands. In order to reap the benefits of such differentiation, managers must communicate the initiatives to relevant stakeholders. The research question guiding the current investigation thus was: What is the communication by Canadian sport stadium operators to calls for sustainable initiatives, specifically in the area of renewable energy? The examination included the 15 sport stadiums that hosted a professional team in Canada and their web-based stadium communications on renewable energy (SCORE). Understandings and competencies in renewable energy are proposed as a new function of sport stadium management; communication of these competencies is seen as a key point of differentiation and best practice.

-Renewable energy is starting to be used as the panacea for solving climate change or global warming problems. Therefore in the starting of 21 st century, Government, utilities and research communities are working together to develop a climate-friendly power generation systems for a sustainable society by increasing large-scale energy generation from renewable energy sources. However, due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources creates a number of potential challenges in integrating renewable energy with the existing grid. Harmonic distortion, voltage fluctuation, voltage management, demand assessment, and load rejection are the major potential issues concerning the application of photovoltaic -Distributed Generation. This paper develops a model using PSS SINCAL to investigate the impacts on integrating photovoltaic panel on the utility grid.
