This study models a multi‐player environment consisting of grid operator responsible for meeting electricity demands, photovoltaic (PV) manufacturer, customers who might install (solar) PV systems, and regulator must set an optimal feed‐in tariff (FIT). The meet exogenous demand also buy back all (produced by systems) at the FIT regulator. Customers decide whether or not to invest in system. Adoption rates affect manufacturer (respectively) establishing systems determining how much is fed...

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused critical challenges for e-commerce warehouses that strive to fulfill surging customer demand while facing a high virus infection risk. Current literature on picking optimization overlooks warehouse safety under conditions. Meanwhile, scattered storage and zone-wave-batch have been used in parallel by many large warehouses, these two operational policies not considered together studies. This paper fills gaps solving an order batching problem considering...

This paper models a multi-player environment comprising grid operator responsible for meeting electricity demands, photovoltaic (PV) manufacturer, customers who might install PV (solar) systems, and regulator charged with setting an optimal feed-in tariff (FIT). The must meet exogenous demand also buy back all (produced by systems) at the FIT set regulator, which seeks to minimize costs. Customers decide whether or not invest in system. Adoption rates affect manufacturer (respectively)...

Abstract Hydrogen trucks (HTs) offer promising potential for decarbonizing the transportation sector. Based on current technologies, they have significant advantages over electric (ETs) in terms of range, refueling time, and performance cold conditions. However, HTs are costly, there insufficient hydrogen stations (HRSs). Gradually integrating into existing diesel truck (DT) fleet is a practical approach many freight logistics companies. In this article, we formulate mathematical model to...

Solar Chimney Power Plant (SCPP) is a renewable energy system that indirectly converts solar to electricity. However, the efficiency of SCPP not sufficient for practical applications. Integrating SCPPs with Photovoltaic-Thermal systems (PVT) could enhance their performance levels acceptable industrial adoption. This study investigates combined - PVT weather conditions Austin (Texas), San Diego (California), and Phoenix (Arizona), all on similar latitude. Various configurations this are...

Producing green hydrogen from wind energy is one potential method to mitigate curtailment. This study develops a general approach examine the economic benefit of adding production capacity through water electrolysis along with fuel cell and storage facilities in farm north Texas. The also investigates different day ahead market bidding strategies existence these technologies. results show that profitable when price greater than $3.58/kg, optimal strategy changes as changes. suggest both...

The authors gratefully acknowledge the support of Qatar National Research Fund (project n. NPRP 5 - 873 133) It is now widely accepted that investment in renewable energy sources one most effective solutions to amend emission greenhouse gasses. By providing emission-free and sustainable energy, these energies are main alternatives fossil fuels. Yet, notwithstanding advantages fact they have experienced a substantial growth over last decade, market penetration still remains below levels...

Climate change, caused by excess green house gas (GHG) emissions from human activities is becoming a pressing problem as the Earth's mean surface temperature has increased about 0.8 °C since early 20th century (America's Choices, 2011). It now widely accepted that investment in renewable energy sources one of most effective solutions to amend emission GHGs. Yet technologies only account for small fraction world's primary supply. Several technical, economical and behavioral reasons hinder...

*The increasing attention received by environmental problems in general and global warming particular reignites the debate around sustainability of energy sources renewable technologies. Renewable energies (RE) are considered one most effective least risky solutions to curb greenhouse gas emissions. By providing emission-free sustainable energy, these main alternatives fossil fuels. Yet, notwithstanding advantages fact that they have experienced a substantial growth over last decade, RE...

We examine empirically how different information types and channels affect both the intention decision to adopt photovoltaic (PV) technology as affected by adoption stage. Analyzing data on a large European utility’s current potential clients reveals effects of various drivers can change across phases process. Our results challenge common wisdom that necessarily homogeneously supports innovation adoption; instead, they strongly support hypothesis have distinct rates. These also highlight...
