The high cost of energy supplies as well as the concern over the availability of oil have brought much pressure on many countries to search for renewable energy sources, especially after the oil crisis in 1973. Vegetable oil fuels such as palm oil fuel provide one of the alternative forms of energy that are currently being studied, particularly as a diesel fuel substitute. The purpose of this note is to review the potential of palm oil as an alternative fuel in automotive and industrial diesel engines with respect to its performance and tribological, environmental, economic and social implications.

Due to the opening of the energy market and agreements for the reduction of pollution emissions, the use of microgrids attracts more attention in the scientific community, but the management of the distribution of electricity has new challenges. This paper considers different distributed generation systems as a main part to design a microgrid and the resources management is defined in a period through proposed dynamic economic dispatch approach. The inputs are obtained by the model predictive control algorithm considering variations of both pattern of consumption and generation systems capacity, including conventional and renewable energy sources. Furthermore, the proposed approach considers a benefits program to customers involving a demand restriction and the costs of regeneration of the pollutants produced by conventional generation systems. The dispatch strategy through a mathematical programming approach seeks to reduce to the minimum the fuel cost of conventional generators, the energy transactions, the regeneration of polluted emissions and, finally, includes the benefit in electricity demand reduction satisfying all restrictions through mathematical programming strategy. The model is implemented in LINGO 17.0 software (Lindo Systems, 1415 North Dayton Street, Chicago, IL, USA). The results exhibit the proposed approach effectiveness through a study case under different considerations.

The article is devoted to the problem of an environmental-economic assessment of consequences of using renewable energy sources. The existing system for assessing environmental-economic consequences of energy production can be applied only to traditional energy sources — combined heat and power plants (CHP plants), thermal power plants (TPP), and atomic power plants, since it is unviable to apply it for renewable energy sources. The reason lies in the peculiar features of renewable energy sources — they do not use exhaustible energy resources for the purpose of energy generation and have a small minimum size of a power station, which makes renewable energy sources more mobile and available for the use in the private sector of economy. This article proposes a methodology of an environmental-economic assessment of the consequences of energy generation from renewable energy sources, which takes into account the features of renewable energy sources use in comparison to traditional ones. In this paper, we analyze shortcomings of the existing methodology for assessing consequences of harmful substances emissions into the atmosphere and propose our own methodology. It includes a life cycle theory of an energy product, which allows to identify environmental-economic consequences at every stage of the life cycle of an energy product and to assess them. For an objective assessment we used statistical data and existing calculations from domestic scientists on a correlation between the number of diseases and volume of harmful substances emissions into the atmosphere. The methodology allows to assess and compare environmental-economic consequences of the development of a particular energy source in relation to other sources. Despite the generally accepted opinion that there are no environmental and economic consequences of the use of renewable energy sources, this paper proves that renewable energy sources have such an impact at different stages of their life cycle. Research findings and calculations in this paper allow to use existing mathematical tools to develop optimal models for the energy sector development of Ukraine. The proposed methodology can be applied to other countries in order to identify its shortcomings and develop further this methodology of assessment.
