“…Some papers have investigated the economics of power systems in other developing countries with high penetration of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydro. Acaro glu et al [8] used an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) time series approach Energies 2023, 16, 3727 2 of 17 to analyze the relationship between environmental degradation, economic growth, trade openness, primary energy consumption, coal consumption, and hydropower consumption in Turkey from 1971 to 2015. The results of the study emphasize the importance of renewable energy use in reducing environmental degradation and coal use in increasing environmental degradation.…”

A simulation model based on Dymola modelling was developed to investigate the dynamic characteristics of automatic generation control (AGC) for variable-load thermal power units in this study. Specifically, a 300 MW unit from a power plant in northern China was used to verify the model’s validity in steady-state processes and to analyze the behavior of the main thermal parameters under different rates of load changes. The economic performance of the unit under different rates of load changes is also analyzed by combining the economic indexes of “two regulations” in the power grid. Results indicate that as the rate of load changes increases, boiler output, main steam temperature, reheat steam temperature, main steam pressure, and working temperatures of various equipment fluctuate more intensely. Specifically, at a rate of load reduction of 2.0% Pe MW/min, the maximum deviation of the main steam temperature can reach 7.6 °C, with the screen-type superheater experiencing the largest heat exchange. To achieve a balance between safety and economics for the unit, the rate of load raising should not exceed 1.2% Pe MW/min, and the rate of load reduction should not exceed 0.8% Pe MW/min. This paper applies the covariance index and AGC assessment index of the thermal power unit load control system to the established dynamic simulation model to supplement the AGC assessment index in the “two regulations”, and to provide a flexible and reasonable system evaluation result for field operators to refer to, so as to improve the economics of the system on the basis of safety.

“…In this context, the number of interdisciplinary works combining the environment, economics, and statistics is growing, which is critical for finding solutions to these problems. [2] Energy security, the impact of energy use on the environment, fuel prices and fuel poverty are all issues at the forefront of public attention. The economics of energy is a vital element which contributes to our understanding of these complex issues and influences policy makers' thinking as energy policy is determined.…”

Whether there is a relationship between economic growth and energy consumption and the direction of this relationship is of great importance in energy policy decision making in countries where the state plays an active role in energy markets. If there is a relationship from energy to growth, conservative policies such as energy taxes, energy-saving, and energy prices will hurt growth. This paper attempts to investigate the impact of economic growth and energy consumption on CO2 emissions in Algeria for the period 1990-2100, because energy-related CO2 constitutes over 80% of total emissions, the state energy-related CO2 emission levels provide a good indicator of the relative contribution of individual states to total greenhouse gas emissions. Our empirical results show that the effect of the independent variables on carbon emissions is heterogeneous across quantities. Energy consumption increases the carbon dioxide emissions, with the strongest effects occurring at different quantities for sample group’s data. But the effects of energy consumption on carbon emissions for developed countries are greater than developing countries. In view of the economic development, developing countries and developed countries present the obvious stage characteristics. The empirical findings are in support of inverted U-shaped curve.

Green versus conventional growth in the EKC framework of top pollutant footprint countries: Evidence based on advanced panel data techniques

et al. 2023

Green growth has become the most credible solution to deal with the deterioration of the environment and excessive use of natural resources. Many studies have investigated the relationship between conventional economic growth and environmental degradation in Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework. However, in this analysis, we have investigated the EKC hypothesis by including green growth instead of conventional growth. Moreover, we have relied on the ecological footprint to represent environmental degradation in this analysis. Hence, the primary focus of the research is to investigate the association between green economic growth and ecological footprint in the EKC framework of top footprint economies for 1991–2017. The study employed the CS‐ARDL model and other advanced panel data techniques to estimate the model. The analysis confirmed the EKC hypothesis in top ecological footprint economies when we use conventional economic growth; however, the estimated coefficients of green growth and its square are negatively significant. The findings imply that green growth can help reduce the environmental burden, and renewable energy, eco‐innovations, and human capital also support the cause.
