The focus of this chapter is to assess green or sustainable development concept because of its increased importance throughout the world. Droughts, environmental degradation, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions are important problems that the humankind have been facing since the Industrial Revolution. Renewable energy sources can be used to overcome these problems. The general tendency of modern-day societies is to transform traditional production techniques and development models to new renewable energy sources and also move towards to sustainable development path. Therefore, this study tries to explain current status of Norway, China and Turkey in terms of their renewable energy sources and policy implementations.

This paper has presented a comprehensive review in the area of microgrid from the design to implementation. The aim is to evaluate the current status, problems and research efforts toward realising functional microgrids in the power system. The expectations about microgrid are many; therefore the study is divided into three main sections. Recent advancements in the wind energy, solar energy and their future prediction are summarised. States of arts in optimum design of renewable energy microgrid are also investigated. In addition, critical literature review in the reliability analysis of microgrids consisting of renewable energy sources is also reported. Control of microgrids consisting renewable energy sources have been presented. Some examples of existing microgrids across the globe are critically reviewed. The work therefore recommends that energy planners and all stakeholders should consider environmental and regional difference in microgrids planning. Finally, future research areas and directions in these areas are highlighted.

The energy sector is constantly changing. Electromobility, improvement of energy efficiency, smart cities these are just some of the challenges that the present power industry is facing. The main goal for the power industry is to ensure the energy security of its customers, to develop low-community technologies which are mainly based on renewable energy sources and local raw materials. The transition from a centralized energy sector based mainly on conventional power plants to a distributed energy sector requires constant control and management of the generation and demand for energy. One of the solution existing since 2016 are energy clusters. The concept of their functioning is based on the civil-law agreement of locally operating entities that produce, sell, store and consume electricity, heat and cold. The main purpose of introducing energy clusters is the development of distributed energy. Energy clusters ensure the improvement of local energy security with relatively low outlays and low environmental impact. Technological development and installations based on renewable energy sources make energy clusters a beneficial and cost-effective solution for local energy sector. The article presents the idea of energy clusters functioning, and describes the current status of development. It also includes the hybrid systems characteristics of RES systems as an effective source of energy. The conclusion includes the legitimacy of the energy cluster development based on RES installations.

Serbia is dependent on imports of crude-oil and natural gas, but is endowed by reserves of lignite and the potential of renewable energy sources. Serbia has a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the energy sector and to increase the share of renewable in gross final energy production 27% by 2020. Serbia?s total estimated technically usable potential of renewable energy sources is 5.65 Mtoe per year. Biomass has the highest potential for use in Serbia (3.448 Mtoe), followed by hydro power (1.679 Mtoe), solar energy (0.240 Mtoe), geothermal energy (0.180 Mtoe), and wind energy (0.103 Mtoe). This paper presents the potential of renewable energy sources available in Serbia, with current status of their use and prospects for further exploitation.

Wind energy sources and technologies have the potential to provide solutions to the long-standing energy problems being faced by developing countries. Renewable energy sources like wind energy can be used to overcome energy shortages in India. To meet the energy required for such a fast-growing economy, India will require an assured supply of 3–4 times more energy than the total energy consumed today. Renewable energy is one of the options to meet this requirement. In this paper, efforts have been made to summarize the availability, current status of wind energy, wind power potential, wind power growth, repowering wind farms in India, and future potentials of renewable energy options in India. This paper also discusses the wind real contribution to the electricity demand of India and aspects for the improvement of wind technology. This paper also assesses specific policy interventions for overcoming the barriers and enhancing the deployment of renewable for the future.

There is a huge renewable potential found in Nigeria which is yet to be explored. The heavy reliance on fossil fuels such as crude oil for its energy production has made it a top contributor to greenhouse gases up to 1.01 % of global emissions. Pertinent efforts have been placed on exploring renewable energy sources given the increased awareness of its sustainability. Furthermore, indicators suggest that crude oil will become a much less significant driver of the energy sector in the coming years. In the light of these issues, this paper presents the potentials that renewable energy has to offer, challenges that could limit its exploitation, and the current status of energy initiatives, including the decade-old renewable energy master plan. Meanwhile, we also discuss the benefits of adopting renewable energy technologies for urban and rural communities. In conclusion, the adverse effect of the exploitation of fossil fuels on the environment, including global warming, glacial meltdown, and acid rain, can be mitigated. Overall, the carbon footprint can be reduced if the potentials are appropriately utilized and converted into an accessible and affordable energy source. Although renewable energy projects have a high initial cost of running over a long life, the cost is small or no compared to conventional sources. The authors recommend the need to explore alternative energy sources that will be environmentally friendly and meet present energy demands.

Ensuring energy security, reducing GHG emissions and boosting the competitiveness of a country?s economy by attracting investments and technical knowhow are of paramount importance considering the targets of ?20-20-20? set by the European community. Being the cradle of civilization, Greece appears today as a country caught in a prolonged hard economic and social crisis, the way out of which its citizens are looking forward as well as the entire European Union. Establishment of the leading renewable energy sources like solar and wind in Greece will not only increase the independence of its own electrification but will also provide with a foundation for developing the market of international trade of ?green? energy. This paper initially highlights the current status of photovoltaics and wind turbines in Greece. Furthermore, this study evaluates whether a higher penetration of the above mentioned green energy sources would have positive impact in the economy of the country or not and in what extent they could decline the CO2 emissions until 2020, comparing to the corresponding levels in 2010.
