“…Reddy 19 concludes that the rural economy depends more on firewood than commercial fuel. According to Ramakumar and Hughas, 20 Ramakumar, 21 and Ravindranath and Chanakya, 22 the importance of energy consumption in the village eco-system is skewed toward biomass as a substitute compared with kerosene and electricity. Ramachandra et al 23 state that average energy consumption is higher for low-income households in the rural economy, with dependency on biomass.…”

This study examines the impact of economic globalization on the patterns of energy consumption for 24 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) economies from 1995 to 2015. We employ Westerlund cointegration, which shows a long-run association between economic globalization and energy consumption patterns. Furthermore, cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lag models (CS-ARDL) results explain the short-run and long-run relationship between the series. The results further explain that economic globalization reduces oil and coal consumption while accelerating gas consumption in OECD economies. We additionally employ the Eberhardt augmented mean group test to verify consistency with CS-ARDL results. The empirical evidence of this study suggests that OECD economies’ policymakers should prioritize economic globalization in framing policies related to energy consumption. Furthermore, allocating funds for better technology related to high polluting fuels should be one of the crucial considerations arising from this study. Finally, we recommend economic globalization as an important indicator to address the issues related to OECD economics’ environmental and ecological footprints.

“…Several studies have been carried out on hybrid power generation systems over the year based on available resources. The concept of small-scale decentralized Integrated Renewable Energy System (IRES)which considered Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV), solar thermal, wind, biomass and falling water as renewable resources have been discussed by [16]. A methodology was also developed to design IRES using a linear programming (LP) approach, which minimizes an objective function of total annual cost, subject to a set of energy and power constraints [17].…”

“…The idea of IRES was first proposed by Ramakumar. In the work of Ramakumar, Hughes, Butler and Podriguez [11][12][13][14][15], they assessed the techno economic parts of little scale decentralized IRES for provincial territories of developing nations. The examination was completed based on the distinctive electricity requests like cooking, water system, small-scale industries and electricity using tandem and cascaded approaches.…”

Presented in this study is an economic and technical evaluation to determine the optimal system combination for off-grid power generation based on solar, wind and biodiesel renewable energy resource. Nsukka being endowed with high intensity solar radiation, adequate wind speed and sufficient bioresource is a prospective candidate for a hybrid system. The monthly average daily global radiation ranges from 3.91kWh/m2 to 5.74kWh/m2 and the average wind speed is about 2.64m/s. This system was designed to meet the load requirement of the school with annual electrical demand of 10,163 MWh. Sensitivity analysis was carried out based on the effect of change in biodiesel fuel price and interest rates on the economic performance criteria of the optimal configuration. The optimum hybrid system is composed of 1kW capacity PV system, auto sized biodiesel generator and battery bank of 820h of autonomy. The Levelized Cost of Energy from the optimal system was found to be $0.0898/kWh based on sensitivity results. These results obtained shows that an integrated system with combination of PV, biodiesel generator and battery bank is a cost-effective alternative to grid extension which cost $0.126/kWh. The system life span is for 25years and it is sustainable, economical, technically feasible and environmentally friendly.
