“…According to the study [10], local communities often are not against construction of wind farms, but they want to share material benefits from these. In contrast, the study in Germany [11] indicates that communities oppose onshore wind farms but support construction of offshore farms. Due to the negative societal influences as well as technological developments, wind energy is evolving towards hybrid systems that use wind, solar and solid waste energy for fuel production [12].…”

The aim of presented study was to identify the most promising new business models which could help to reach climate and energy targets. ‘Business model’ means new opportunities (e.g. business for profit or non-profit community collaboration models) enabled by various technologies in energy domains, i.e., heat and power supply and demand as well as mobility. Based on scientific publications, nine most important technologies and 37 new business models, which could be among the most important for sustainable energy transition, were identified. Mapping of the new business models was done by looking at synergies between the technologies and the energy domains. Valuation of the business models is done by finding ‘expected impact’ with regards to reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which is obtained by multiplication of two factors: ‘potential’ and ‘feasibility’. The ’potential’ represents ability to reduce GHG emissions considering technical characteristics of technologies involved and scalability. The ‘feasibility’ indicates how realistic is implementation of the new business model in the near to mid-term. Experts in the field of energy and environmental engineering were interviewed to obtain scores for the ‘potential’ and the ‘feasibility’ for all business models. The results show that electric mobility is among the solutions with the largest expected impact for reduction of GHG emissions. Results of this valuation will be used to choose the most promising solutions for further analysis with system dynamic modelling.

“…This technological evolution has been driven mainly by the process of attaining carbon neutrality, grid code integration adherence, scaling up the process to minimize reliability issues, and further cost reductions owing to the increase in capacity factor of most projects. Moreover, higher wind speeds, and consequently high energy yields, prevail at high altitudes; as such, wind turbine technology has advanced to accommodate longer heights of wind turbines (i.e., an increase in hub height and rotor diameter) [21,22]. According to the global wind energy council and Jin et al, [23], at the beginning of 2015, wind resources had become the largest and most successful renewable technology deployment, with 370 GW of global cumulative capacity.…”

Hydro–Connected Floating PV Renewable Energy System and Onshore Wind Potential in Zambia

The adoption of a diversification strategy of the energy mix to include low-water consumption technologies, such as floating photovoltaics (FPV) and onshore wind turbines, would improve the resilience of the Zambian hydro-dependent power system, thereby addressing the consequences of climate change and variability. Four major droughts that were experienced in the past fifteen years in the country exacerbated the problems in load management strategies in the recent past. Against this background, a site appraisal methodology was devised for the potential of linking future and existing hydropower sites with wind and FPV. This appraisal was then applied in Zambia to all the thirteen existing hydropower sites, of which three were screened off, and the remaining ten were scored and ranked according to attribute suitability. A design-scoping methodology was then created that aimed to assess the technical parameters of the national electricity grid, hourly generation profiles of existing scenarios, and the potential of variable renewable energy generation. The results at the case study site revealed that the wind and FPV integration reduced the network’s real power losses by 5% and improved the magnitude profile of the voltage at nearby network buses. The onshore wind, along with FPV, also added 341 GWh/year to the national energy generation capacity to meet the 4.93 TWh annual energy demand, in the presence of 4.59 TWh of hydro with a virtual battery storage potential of approximately 7.4% of annual hydropower generation. This was achieved at a competitive levelized cost of electricity of GBP 0.055/kWh. Moreover, floating PV is not being presented as a competitor to ground-mounted systems, but rather as a complementary technology in specific applications (i.e., retrofitting on hydro reservoirs). This study should be extended to all viable water bodies, and grid technical studies should be conducted to provide guidelines for large-scale variable renewable energy source (VRES) integration, ultimately contributing to shaping a resilient and sustainable energy transition.

“…Indeed, wind energy is an important component of the existing and future Danish energy system. Jacobsen, Hevia-Koch & Wolter [168] examine the advantages, disadvantages and cost drivers of nearshore and offshore wind energy; Ladenburg, Hevia-Koch, Petrović, & Knapp [169] examine the differences between onshore and offshore wind farms and public attitudes towards them; Berg, Apostolou & Enevoldsen [170] examine the wind energy market in Denmark and the economic feasibility of integrating various capacities of water electrolysis systems; Jørgensen, Anker, & Lassen [171] examine wind energy support and compensation schemes; Koivisto, Gea-Bermúdez, Kanellas, Das & Sørensen [172] examine wind energy opportunities and prospects across the North Sea region, comparing the connection of each offshore wind farm to the main system individually and the collective advantages and disadvantages; Lund and Mathiesen [173] predict different scenarios for Denmark to achieve 100% RES use and confirm that this is technically possible.…”

Energy policy affects the functioning of the economic and financial systems of countries worldwide. This paper provides a theoretical overview of the economy–energy nexus and discusses the particular cases of the energy policy dynamics amid the sustainability goals. This paper integrates multiple perspectives on the energy–economy nexus, with a particular focus on the energy trilemma, 4As of energy security and PESTEL approach. This allows the development of a comprehensive framework for the analysis of energy security and the sustainability interaction. A review of manifestations of the different dimensions of energy security and sustainability is carried out to identify the most topical facets of the issue. Then, the cases of the selected European Union countries (Ireland, Greece, Denmark and Lithuania) are presented to highlight the effects and features of the recent energy policy changes there. Indeed, these countries apply a PSO levy mechanism on electricity tariffs and are diverse in their geopolitical situation, economic development, geographical situation and energy dependency level. The analysis of the situations of such different countries applying the PSO levy mechanism makes it possible to perform a broader and more in-depth assessment and comparison of electricity tariff regulations. Thus, the developed theoretical model is applied to identify the major outcomes of the energy policy regimes (with a focus on tariff regulation) in the selected countries.
