Summary: This research proposes a unique empirical approach that integrates data-driven and physics-based modelling capabilities to assess the potential and enablers of net-zero energy communities (NZECs) in Kuwait. The results show that NZECs are not competitive compared to the business-as-usual scenario of electricity grid purchase at subsidized tariffs. It is recommended to increase electricity rates, invest in energy efficiency, and enable grid sell-back capabilities to promote NZEC adoption.

Summary: This study explores the performance evaluation of recently developed metaheuristic optimization techniques used to address the sizing problem for five different stand-alone hybrid renewable energy systems applied to a rural community in India. The findings suggest that a hybrid system integrating solar power, battery storage, and a diesel generator is the most cost-effective option. Among the algorithms compared, the honey badger optimization algorithm shows superior performance in terms of both economy and stability.

Summary: This paper analyzes the techno-economic and environmental factors of hybrid solar wind vehicle charging stations in Southern Tamil Nadu, India. The sensitivity analysis is performed at different highway locations to determine the feasibility of using renewable energy sources for electric vehicle charging. The results show that the designed charging station is capable of charging 17 electric vehicles and Virudhunagar is the most cost-effective location with a 50% reduction in emission. Madurai produces the highest amount of electrical energy compared to other locations, making it an ideal choice for establishing charging stations.

Summary: The use of renewable energy to meet power demand is inevitable in global developmental dealings. However, there are challenges hindering the penetration of renewable energy into the global power sector, particularly in off-grid isolated communities. The implementation of integrated hybrid renewable energy systems can mitigate intermittent behaviors, and optimization algorithms such as ACO, FPA, GA, and PSO can provide solutions for optimal sizing configurations. Among these algorithms, FPA shows better results in terms of cost and power supply probability. The study suggests that the configuration of PV/DG/BS performs the best in terms of overall technoeconomic results.
