“…In Malaysia, there is still a lot more untapped potential for small and micro hydro [71][72][73]. Small hydro also is considered the cleanest energy form, as the GHG amount emitted is far lower compared to large scale hydro [73]. The adoption of small hydro in Malaysia is supported by the government via the Feed-in-tariff.…”

The Malaysian Government has set an ambitious target to achieve a higher penetration of Renewable Energy (RE) in the Malaysian energy mix. To date, Malaysia has approximately 2% of its energy coming from RE generation sources compared to the total generation mix and targets achieving 20% penetration by 2025. The current energy mix for Malaysia power generation is mainly provided by natural gas and coal. The discussion will cover the traditional sources of generation including natural gas, coal and big hydro stations. In addition, the paper will cover in depth the potential of RE in the country, challenges, and opportunities in this sector. This study can give an initial evaluation of the Malaysian energy industry, especially for RE and can initiate further research and development in this area in order to support the Government target to achieve RE target of 20% by 2025.

“…Renewable energy systems based on wind power, hydropower, thermal energy, and solar energy are indispensable for the sustainable and environmentally friendly development of modern human lives. PV systems have been used as one of the most effective renewable energy systems owing to their many advantages, such as abundance, being pollution free, and renewability as they directly convert sunlight into electricity through a simple solid‐state device .…”

The operation of a stand‐alone photovoltaic (PV) system ultimately aims for the optimization of its energy storage. We present a mathematical model for cost‐effective control of a stand‐alone system based on a PV panel equipped with an angle adjustment device. The model is based on viscosity solutions to partial differential equations, which serve as a new and mathematically rigorous tool for modeling, analyzing, and controlling PV systems. We formulate a stochastic optimal switching problem of the panel angle, which is here a binary variable to be dynamically controlled under stochastic weather condition. The stochasticity comes from cloud cover dynamics, which is modeled with a nonlinear stochastic differential equation. In finding the optimal control policy of the panel angle, switching the angle is subject to impulsive cost and reduces to solving a system of Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Bellman quasi‐variational inequalities (HJBQVIs). We show that the stochastic differential equation is well posed and that the HJBQVIs admit a unique viscosity solution. In addition, a finite‐difference scheme is proposed for the numerical discretization of HJBQVIs. A demonstrative computational example of the HJBQVIs, with emphasis on a stand‐alone experimental system, is finally presented with practical implications for its cost‐effective operation.

The history of hydro energy in Poland was shown in the article. The first mills were built in the ninth century and the first hydro energy plant was opened in 1896. In 1935, there were 8000 water energy plants and dozen other installations using water energy. War action and nationalisation have caused the crash of hydro energy in Poland. At the moment, there are 761 water energy plants amounting to 994 MW. The Lower Vistula Cascade was described but also use of water for energy purposes in heat plants and waste treatment plants. Technical potential of hydro energy is major. Using already exciting heaps (there are 16,005), it is possible to obtain 14.27 PJ. SWOT analysis has shown that hydro energy in Poland is a wellmastered technology and allows small water retention. Investing in hydro energy in Poland requires a lot of documents. In addition, energetic law is constantly changing. Influence of hydro energy on environment was presented. It was concluded that small hydro energy development is definitely advised in Poland. Small hydro energy stations allow to produce energy and allow small retention in steppe Poland.
