With the rapid development of DG, especially the access of large-scale renewable energy, traditional simple distribution network with unique source turns into ADN with multiple sources, making the distribution network more complicated. In this paper, The power source and grid planning of traditional and intelligent distribution network are discussed, based on which the problems ADN faces and the research difficulty are focused on. The key technology of ADN planning is analyzed, including the uncertainty of load forecasting, the ADN absorption capacity for DG and the cost-effectiveness of ADN planning. Some suggestions for the research direction of ADN in the future are made at the end, providing reference for the ADN planning with large-scale renewable energy access.

In recent years, with the gradual depletion of traditional energy, as renewable energy representatives, new energy has developed rapidly. We know that distributed photovoltaic power generation with clean, pollution-free, easy installation, and therefore has been rapid development. However, the large number of distributed photovoltaic power generation connected to the distribution network would have a negative impact on the grid with a safe and reliable operation because of its randomness and volatility intrinsic properties. In this paper, in terms of power flow, voltage distribution, load characteristics, power quality, system protection and reliability departure, through MATLAB simulation analysis, the distribution network transformation strategies of primary and secondary devices has been proposed. It laid an important foundation for renewable energy development and the Third Industrial Revolution.

The article analyses the EU policies of promoting renewable energy sources (RES), including the role of state subsidizing and the change of EU policy in 2013. First EU actions in this area were implemented in late 1990s. In mid 2000s the European Commission developed integrated approach of the encouragement of renewables. Promotion of RES was integrated with other areas of the EU energy policies in the framework of the Climate and Energy Package in 2007. The paper evaluates EU achievements and development of particular types of RES in the EU in 2000s. A comprehensive comparative analysis of the cost of different types of RES and the use of incentive measures in the European Union and EU member states is carried out. The conclusion is made that despite the impressive technological progress the renewable energy, with rare exception, is still uncompetitive with the traditional sources of energy in terms of costs. A large-scale state support was the reason for the rapid development of renewables in the EU. Article investigates distorting effects of RES subsidies on the market price of electricity. Feed-in tariffs, investment grants, quotas and tax benefits were the most widespread forms of direct and indirect RES subsidies in the EU. During the economic crisis, these subsidies have become a heavy burden for the budgets of the EU countries and population. Now the EU is modifying its strategy on RES in order to reduce the volume of subsidies. In 2013 European Council substantially changed the priorities of the EU energy policies: instead of «sustainable energy» it accentuated the need to provide a “competitive energy”. Strategic decision to reform the existing methods of RES subsidizing and to develop an «economically reasonable» support scheme was made. The reduction of subsidies will inevitably lead to a sharp reduction in the rate of growth of renewables and the failure to achieve previously agreed EU targets.

Looking at the history of solar energy and renewable energy in general, the authorities and scientists have been paying much attention to the recent period, due to the depletion of fossil energy resources and the growing difficulties in solving environmental problems. The development of solar energy has led to the use of solar energy concentrators. Concentrators are used to concentrate sunlight onto PV cells. This allows for a reduction in the cell area required for producing a given amount of power. The goal is to significantly reduce the cost of electricity generated by replacing expensive PV converter area with less expensive optical material. In this chapter, the authors talk about concentrators in solar energy, especially about modules based on holographic films. Holographic solar panels (HSP) in recent decades have appeared in large-scale production and been actively used in solar energy. Evaluations of other types of existing concentrators are presented.

With the rapid development of mobile networks and smart terminals, mobile crowdsourcing has aroused the interest of relevant scholars and industries. In this paper, we propose a new solution to the problem of user selection in mobile crowdsourcing system. The existing user selection schemes mainly include: (1) find a subset of users to maximize crowdsourcing quality under a given budget constraint; (2) find a subset of users to minimize cost while meeting minimum crowdsourcing quality requirement. However, these solutions have deficiencies in selecting users to maximize the quality of service of the task and minimize costs. Inspired by the marginalism principle in economics, we wish to select a new user only when the marginal gain of the newly joined user is higher than the cost of payment and the marginal cost associated with integration. We modeled the scheme as a marginalism problem of mobile crowdsourcing user selection (MCUS-marginalism). We rigorously prove the MCUS-marginalism problem to be NP-hard, and propose a greedy random adaptive procedure with annealing randomness (GRASP-AR) to achieve maximize the gain and minimize the cost of the task. The effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed approaches are clearly verified by a large scale of experimental evaluations on both real-world and synthetic data sets.

Decarbonisation, energy security and expanding energy access are the main driving forces behind the worldwide increasing attention in renewable energy. This paper focuses on the solar photovoltaic (PV) technology because, currently, it has the most attention in the energy sector due to the sharp drop in the solar PV system cost, which was one of the main barriers of PV large-scale deployment. Firstly, this paper extensively reviews the technical challenges, potential technical solutions and the research carried out in integrating high shares of small-scale PV systems into the distribution network of the grid in order to give a clearer picture of the impact since most of the PV systems installations were at small scales and connected into the distribution network. The paper reviews the localised technical challenges, grid stability challenges and technical solutions on integrating large-scale PV systems into the transmission network of the grid. In addition, the current practices for managing the variability of large-scale PV systems by the grid operators are discussed. Finally, this paper concludes by summarising the critical technical aspects facing the integration of the PV system depending on their size into the grid, in which it provides a strong point of reference and a useful framework for the researchers planning to exploit this field further on.

Most recent research on renewable energy resources main one goal to make Jordan less dependent on imported energy with locally developed and produced solar power, this paper discussed the efficient system of Wind/ PV Hybrid System to be than main power sources for south part of Jordan, the proposed hybrid system design based on Smart Grid Methodology,  the solar energy will be installed on top roof of  electricity subscribers across the Governorate of Maan, Tafila, Karak and Aqaba and the wind energy will set in one site by this way the capital cost for project will be reduced also the  simulation result show   the feasibility  is a very competitive and feasible cost . Economics analysis of a proposed renewable energy system was made using HOMER simulation and evaluation was completed with the cost per kilowatt of EDCO company, the net present cost is $2,551,676,416, the cost of energy is 0.07kWhr with a renewable fraction of 86.6 %.
