Energy communities (ECs), intended as collective action initiatives in the energy field involving citizens’ participation, have been gaining relevance for the past decades as an alternative way to organize the energy chain to challenge the incu...

Spain has become one of the leading countries in the world in promoting electricity generation from renewable energy sources (RES), due to their positive socioeconomic and environmental impacts, through highly favorable regulatory frameworks and publ...

A regional integrated energy system is an important carrier of the energy Internet. It is a major challenge for the operation of a regional integrated energy system to deal with the uncertainty of distributed energy and multiple loads by using the co...

This study assessed suitable smart grid areas for power generation and distribution from solar and small hydro energy resources in Western Uganda by employing the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) based on geographic information system (GIS) dat...

A regional integrated energy system (RIES) is an electricity-centric multi-energy system that can realize the mutual conversion of electricity, heat, cold, and other energy. Through multi-flexible resource interaction and the transaction of multi-inv...

Plasma parameters of radiofrequency discharge generated at low pressures in an argon-oxygen mixture addressed for biomedical surface sterilization have been optimized. Numerical results illustrate the density distributions of different species and el...

In the case of the energy sector (including mining companies) and the implementation of their development projects, it is necessary to obtain a social license to operate for a given project, which is associated with the involvement of various groups...

Both long-distance oil and gas pipelines often pass through areas with unstable geological conditions or natural disasters. As a result, they are prone to bending, displacement, and deformation due to the action of an external environmental loading,...

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is a well-known problem, and has received wide attention in the next generation industrial applications and consumer electronics. On the other hand, frequency diverse array (FDA) is a new concept with the ability to gene...

The magnetic levitation reaction flywheel (MLRW) is a novel actuator of spacecraft attitude control because of its significant advantages, including lack of friction and active suppression of vibration. However, in a vacuum environment, the poor heat...
