As reported in the “Clean energy for all Europeans package” set by the EU, a sustainable transition from fossil fuels towards cleaner energy is necessary to improve the quality of life of citizens and the livability in cities. The exploitation of renewable sources, the improvement of energy performance in buildings and the need for cutting-edge national energy and climate plans represent important and urgent topics to be faced in order to implement the sustainability concept in urban areas. In addition, the spread of polygeneration microgrids and the recent development of energy communities enable a massive installation of renewable power plants, high-performance small-size cogeneration units, and electrical storage systems; moreover, properly designed local energy production systems make it possible to optimize the exploitation of green energy sources and reduce both energy supply costs and emissions. In the present paper, a set of key performance indicators is introduced in order to evaluate and compare different energy communities both from a technical and environmental point of view. The proposed methodology was used in order to assess and compare two sites characterized by the presence of sustainable energy infrastructures: the Savona Campus of the University of Genoa in Italy, where a polygeneration microgrid has been in operation since 2014 and new technologies will be installed in the near future, and the SPEED2030 District, an urban area near the Campus where renewable energy power plants (solar and wind), cogeneration units fed by hydrogen and storage systems are planned to be installed.

The purpose of the study was the comparative analysis of Russian and foreign practices of alternative energy development at the local level. The object of this research is the set of administrative influences that act as determinants of the formation of generation based on renewable energy as part of sustainable development of local communities and green economy. The subject of study is mechanisms, tools and practices of development of alternative energy. The main methods of research work are general theoretical research methods: analysis and synthesis, as well as methods of measurement, comparison, grouping and graphics. To assess the "gaps" between the current and target status of "green" energy as a set of controlled subsystems, the authors propose a method of GAP analysis, at this the main subsystems are allocated as the share of clean energy in the total volume of its generation, the average share of domestic equipment and components in the composition of power plants for alternative energy, the average level of depreciation of power plants to alternative energy, the average time to receive a construction permission for installations of renewable energy sources and connection to the central power grid. The article analyzed and systematized to-date mechanisms to stimulate the development of alternative energy in municipalities and regional governments in foreign countries. General constraints in the development of alternative power generation are revealed. The differentiation of regions of Russia according to the share of "green" power generation in its total production is made. Practices for effective implementation of infrastructure projects of "green" energy in municipalities of the Russian Federation are described and incentives for alternative energy development at the local level are defined. On the basis of generalization of experience of infrastructure projects in the field of alternative energy in cities and regions of Russia the most significant "barriers" in the development of renewable energy infrastructure at the local level are selected and classified , which include economic, administrative, institutional, technological and climatic ones. Several recommendations for the development of incentives to overcome constraints are formulated.

Abstract--The matter is considered in the scope of sustainability and initially the basis and content of the term is defined. Based on this definition, the qualities of water and water energy are inspected as water is one of the most important type of clean energy source. Water energy is a time-honored renewable energy whose use dates back to earliest periods in history. The subject titled “A Generator” is a small but significant support to environmental protection as it defines a patented object which generates energy from water with a mini apparatus. Protection of future lives of creatures and keeping them in infinite existence necessitate taking measures in advance. Concepts such as environment protection, sustainability, green energy, green economy etc. have also been under consideration by the UN since the 1970s. The subject is very comprehensive. This paper inspects as required hydroelectric power plants which produce clean energy and date back to ancient times. Water, as main source of hydroelectric power plants, is collected in proper basins and thus provided with potential energy. Water is then dropped from heights to trigger its kinetic energy and canalized to turbine wheels, moving which it turns kinetic/mechanical energy into electric power. This basic characteristic of water is evaluated in a mini apparatus this time. And an apparatus of unaccustomed size is obtained, which could support electricity production in household wet areas.

AbstractWind power, solar power and water power are technologies that can be used as the main sources of renewable energy so that the target of decarbonisation in the energy sector can be achieved. However, when compared with conventional power plants, they have a significant difference. The share of renewable energy has made a difference and posed various challenges, especially in the power generation system. The reliability of the power system can achieve the decarbonization target but this objective often collides with several challenges and failures, such that they make achievement of the target very vulnerable, Even so, the challenges and technological solutions are still very rarely discussed in the literature. This study carried out specific investigations on various technological solutions and challenges, especially in the power system domain. The results of the review of the solution matrix and the interrelated technological challenges are the most important parts to be developed in the future. Developing a matrix with various renewable technology solutions can help solve RE challenges. The potential of the developed technological solutions is expected to be able to help and prioritize them especially cost-effective energy. In addition, technology solutions that are identified in groups can help reduce certain challenges. The categories developed in this study are used to assist in determining the specific needs and increasing transparency of the renewable energy integration process in the future.

The need for renewable and green energy sources to replace fossil fuel with the incrementally rising prices is driving many researchers to work on narrowing the gap between the most scientific innovative clean energy technologies and the concepts of feasibility and cost-effective solutions. The current paper aims to introduce one aspect of Green Energy; the use of Hydrogen as fuel for marine power plants, to replace all kinds of fossil fuels which are the major responsible of harmful emissions. There are three applications for hydrogen in marine field. These applications include hydrogen internal combustion engines, hydrogen gas turbines, and fuel cells. The main problems associated with the application of hydrogen in internal combustion engines are the engine knocking; air fuel ratio and intake temperature. The research programs for the application of hydrogen in gas turbines concentrate on studying the characteristics of hydrogen combustion inside gas turbine combustors. The third application of hydrogen is fuel cells. Huge developments have been achieved in this sector over the past few years. But for the marine field only the naval vessels market used it for auxiliary power generation.

Inspection Task

Renewable energy sources will represent the only alternative to limit fossil fuel usage and pollution. For this reason, photovoltaic (PV) power plants represent one of the main systems adopted to produce clean energy. Monitoring the state of health of a system is fundamental. However, these techniques are time demanding, cause stops to the energy generation, and often require laboratory instrumentation, thus being not cost-effective for frequent inspections. Moreover, PV plants are often located in inaccessible places, making any intervention dangerous. In this paper, we propose solAIr, an artificial intelligence system based on deep learning for anomaly cells detection in photovoltaic images obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with a thermal infrared sensor. The proposed anomaly cells detection system is based on the mask region-based convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) architecture, adopted because it simultaneously performs object detection and instance segmentation, making it useful for the automated inspection task. The proposed system is trained and evaluated on the photovoltaic thermal images dataset, a publicly available dataset collected for this work. Furthermore, the performances of three state-of-art deep neural networks, (DNNs) including UNet, FPNet and LinkNet, are compared and evaluated. Results show the effectiveness and the suitability of the proposed approach in terms of intersection over union (IoU) and the Dice coefficient.

Environmental protection pressures and green energy strategies have created major challenges for a cleaner production of China’s coal-fired power generation. Although China’s electric power dispatching department has tried to prioritize clean energy, the current dispatching models lack environmental indicators related to coal-fired power generation. The main purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive environmental indicator for the cleanliness evaluation of coal-fired power plants. In this paper, the (Emergy-based Life Cycle Assessment) Em-LCA method is used to measure and analyze environmental related resource consumption, socio-economic investment, and emissions in the whole life cycle of coal-fired power plants. At the same time, based on the above three environmental impacts in the whole life cycle, this paper constructs the (Em-LCA based Cleaner Production Comprehensive Evaluation) ECPCE index to guide a green dispatching plan. By comparing the calculation results of the index, this paper finds that there are differences in the environmental advantages of different generating units in green dispatching, which are closely related to the process management of coal-fired power plants in production and the environment.

Thermal energy created by heating the Earth and the atmospheric air by sunlight exists in the Earth’s atmosphere in quantities many times greater than humanity’s energy needs. The authors formulated and patented the basic principles of concentration and use of this low-potential thermal energy scattered in the atmosphere. The SWEM technology proposed in the article is a way to convert this natural energy into usable electrical energy, in calculated quantities. SWEMtechnology isbasedonmechanisms that canbeobservedinsuchanaturalphenomenon as a hurricane. The SWEM module replicates the chain of transitions of aggregate states of atmospheric moisture, starting with heating the surface of the world’s oceans and evaporating water that saturates the air. The energy accumulated in the water of the sun, as a result of the chain of conversions, is converted into electricity. At the same time, as a by-product of enthalpy of cross-aggregation, fresh water is released, falling out of the air in the form of precipitation. Fresh water, like energy, is the most valuable and vital product for many people on the planet. TheSWEM water-electric module is versatile, lightweight, operationaland portable. The energy generation providing for energy or water consumption can be scaled up in the form of a synchronized battery of basic size SWEM modules or a mega-installation. SWEM modules can be placed on the ground or on the water surface, in steppe or urban landscape conditions. The technology does not require external energy sources and is absolutely green. The fundamental principles of concentration and management of the earth’s low-potential thermal energy, on which SWEM technology is based, can form the basis of a new, clean energy industry that exceeds current and future energy and water needs
