“…Thus, solar energy, hydropower, geothermal energies are the such renewable energy sources which can solve this problematic issue. This renewable energy supply can help to lower the emission and decrease the higher emission rate . Utilization of renewable energy is effective only because of higher fuel price in world market .…”

The vast percentage of people of the world; particularly in the developing countries; are living mostly in the decentralized, rural and remote areas those are geographically secluded from the grid connection. Power distribution and continuous fuel transportation to produce the electrical energy for these areas pretenses a great challenge. Using renewable energy resources in off grid hybrid energy system might be a solution of this problem. Moreover, high cost of renewable energy systems has led to its slow adoption in many countries. Hence, it is vital to select an appropriate size of the system in order to reduce the cost and excess energy produced as well as to maximize the available resources. A hybrid energy system has been designed as well as simulated to support a small community considering an average load demand of 80 kWh/d with a peak load of 8.1 kW. The simulation and optimization of operations of the system have been done by HOMER software using the real time field data of solar radiation and average wind speed data of that area. The simulation ensures that the system is suitably feasible with respect to net present cost and CO2 emission reduction purpose. The result shows that NPC and CO2 emission can be reduced about 29.65% and 16 tons per year respectively compared with the conventional power plants. The NPC of the optimized system has been found about USD 160,626.00 having the per unit Cost of Energy about USD 0.431/kWh. The analyzed hybrid energy system might be applicable for other region of the world where the climate conditions are similar. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 1424–1432, 2018

“…However, reaching individual country renewable energy targets comes up against various barriers (Nepal, 2012;Blum et al, 2013;Byrnes et al, 2013;Dulal et al, 2013;Masini and Menichetti, 2013;Sovacool, 2013;Goh et al, 2014;Marquardt, 2014;Zyadin et al, 2014;Erdinc et al, 2015;Luthra et al, 2015) whereby developed and developing countries have responded into different ways. Developed countries pull renewable energy investments by policy instruments, such as feed-in tariff (FIT) and a carbon tax to fossil fuel (Dannenberg et al, 2008).…”

Selecting Tools for Renewable Energy Analysis in Developing Countries: An Expanded Review

et al. 2017

Renewable energy planners in developing countries should be cautious in using analytical tools formulated in developed countries. Traditional energy consumption, economic and demography transitions, high-income inequality, and informal economy are some characteristics of developing countries that may contradict the assumptions of mainstream, widely used analytical tools. In this study, we synthesize the debate in previous review studies on energy models for developing countries and then extend the scope of the previous studies by highlighting emerging methods of system thinking, life cycle thinking, and decision support analysis. We then discuss how these tools have been used for renewable energy analysis in developing countries and found out that not all studies are aware of the emerging critical issues in developing countries. We offer here a guidance to select the most appropriate analytical tool, mainly when dealing with energy modeling and analysis for developing countries. We also suggest potential future improvements to the analytical tool for renewable energy modeling and analysis in the developing countries.

Overcoming barriers to solar and wind energy adoption in two Asian giants: India and Indonesia

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Solar and wind electricity generation technologies have become cost competitive and account for a growing share of global investment in new electricity generation capacity. Both India and Indonesia have ambitious targets for adoption of these technologies, and India has an impressive current rate of uptake. Substantial obstacles exist, however, including the entrenched positions of coal and other fossil fuels, regulatory barriers to market access, and weak abilities of electricity utilities to manage intermittent renewables. This paper reviews these obstacles and discusses strategies to overcome them. We focus on the use of reverse auction processes able to deliver low-price solar and wind contracts, as are being successfully employed in India, on tax and subsidy reform options, on regulatory and incentive-design strategies, on approaches to bolster grid management capacities, and on the importance of minimising protectionist barriers. Our analysis covers both small-scale and large-scale systems.
