Regional disparity in total factor efficiency under renewable energy inputs (TFREE) constrains balanced green development amid the global energy transition. This study covers 256 prefecture-level cities in China (2005–2024). TFREE is measured u...
The misallocation of renewable (RE) and non-renewable energy (NRE) resources may lead to the inefficiency of economic development, thereby hindering the achievement of sustainable development goals. Basing data on 282 Chinese cities during 2005&ndash...
In the fight against climate change, the utilization of renewable energy resources is being encouraged in every country all over the world to lessen the emissions of greenhouse gases. However, not all countries are able to efficiently utilize these r...
Using the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) model, this research measures total-factor energy efficiency (TFEE) and disaggregate input efficiency for 10 countries across the Baltic Sea from 2004 to 2014. Real capital, labor, energy use, and carbon d...
This study implements a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) under both input- and output-orientation specifications to measure tourism technical eco-efficiencies and changes in total factor productivity for Eurozone countries from 1996 to 2019. Instead o...
This study examines the relationship between energy efficiency in agricultural production and its determinants, considering technological, economic, political, and social factors. The aim was to determine the impact of the CAP on the energy efficienc...
The economics of integrated community energy system (ICES) dispatch schemes are influenced by the accuracy of the parameters of the different energy-conversion-equipment models. Traditional equipment efficiency correction models only take into accoun...
With the growth of global population and economic development, people are facing the problem of increasing scarcity of renewable energy and unsustainable energy use. To achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations,...
Sustainability evaluation of wastewater treatment helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as it emphasizes the development of green technologies and optimum resource use rather than the end-of-pipe treatment. The conventional approaches for treatin...
Global efforts towards de-carbonization give rise to remarkable energy challenges, which include renewable energy penetration increase and intermediate energy carriers for a sustainable transition. In order to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels, a...
The eco-agricultural park is a new comprehensive agricultural technology system integrating agricultural production, rural economic development, ecological environment protection, and efficient resource utilization. Therefore, an in-depth analysis of...
This paper proposes a new hybrid flyback-Cuk (HFC) converter. The new converter consists of a single switch, a single isolated input, and dual output based on flyback and Cuk topologies. The new HFC topology is proposed to reduce switching losses and...
Over the past three decades, China’s economy has witnessed remarkable growth, with an average annual growth rate over 9%. However, China also faces great challenges to balance this spectacular economic growth and continuously increasing energy use li...
This paper presents a case study of the Honduran electricity system and evaluates the technical impact of integrating distributed generation through modeling and simulation using Pandapower, (version 3.1.0) an open-source Python tool. A multi-criteri...
