Renewable Energy is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on renewable energy, sustainable energy and the energy transition. It is published by Elsevier and the editor-in-chief is Soteris Kalogirou (Cyprus University of Technology). According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 8.634. [1]
It covers research on all aspects of solar energy such as photovoltaics and solar heating, but also its indirect usages like wind power or bioenergy. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 6.7. [1]
This is a list of countries and dependencies by electricity generation from renewable sources each year.. Renewables accounted for 28% of electric generation in 2021, consisting of hydro (55%), wind (23%), biomass (13%), solar (7%) and geothermal (1%).
An inverter-based resource (IBR) is a source of electricity that is asynchronously connected to the electrical grid via an electronic power converter ("inverter"). The devices in this category, also known as converter interfaced generation (CIG), include the variable renewable energy generators (wind, solar) and battery storage power stations. [1]
Much of China's PV capacity was built in the relatively less populated west of the country whereas the main centres of power consumption were in the east (such as Shanghai and Beijing). [38] Due to lack of adequate power transmission lines to carry the power from the solar power plants, China had to curtail its PV generated power. [38] [39] [40]
GE Renewable Energy was created in 2015, combining the wind power assets GE purchased from Alstom with those previously owned by GE and operated under the Power & Water division. [4] Upon the division's creation, the headquarters of GE Renewable Energy moved from Schenectady, New York to Paris, France, part of conditions for the Alstom purchase.
At the 2011 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP17) in Durban, the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme (REIPPP) was introduced to implement the objectives of the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP 2010-2030); [6] of which are to diversify the country's energy mix away from fossil-fired power generation like coal and crude oil, add 30 GW to the grid before 2030, [5] take ...
The penetration of intermittent renewables in most power grids is low: global electricity generation in 2021 was 7% wind and 4% solar. [6] However, in 2021 Denmark, Luxembourg and Uruguay generated over 40% of their electricity from wind and solar. [6] Characteristics of variable renewables include their unpredictability, variability, and low ...
