This monthly PUDL data release updates US electricity data (EIA-860M, EPA CEMS, FERC Form 1, etc.) through early 2026, adds new LNG inventory tables, and improves data package output to Frictionless v2. It provides open, standardized data f…

Lipari, Samadhi

This paper presents fieldwork notes from the Simeto Valley in Sicily, documenting the socio-ecological impacts of the renewable energy transition. Through interviews with farmers, investors, and local administrators, it reveals how photovol…

Qosimov, Oybek

Proposes intelligent voltage control using on-load tap changer (OLTC) transformers to mitigate reverse power flow issues from high photovoltaic penetration. Integrates AI forecasting and smart grid approaches for enhanced voltage regulation…

Using 25 years of roughness data from ~80% of Chinese airports, this study shows pavement roughness increases aircraft taxiing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by over 5×10^7 g annually. A Carbon Condition Index (CCI) is proposed; impleme…

Sellami O, Youssef SB

Using US data from 1980-2023, this study examines the impact of government R&D spending on renewables and fossil fuels on CO2 emissions and renewable energy consumption with ARDL/NARDL models. It confirms the Environmental Kuznets Curve and…

Orabi A, Harb H, Khedr A

This paper proposes a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework for climate change and renewable energy knowledge synthesis. It combines dense retrieval (FAISS, HNSW) with LLMs to ground responses in authoritative sources like IPCC and…

Domínguez-Garabitos MA, Báez-Santana R, Ocaña-Guevara VS +3

This paper proposes a market-based framework for co-optimizing energy and operating reserves in data-constrained island power systems. Reserve requirements are determined from historically observed extreme deviations, avoiding explicit prob…

The Samuel Neaman Institute conducted a research for Noga on a roadmap for the independent system operator of electricity in 2040. It reviews policies of 18 countries, challenges in renewable integration, and recommends steps for Israel inc…

Alcides, Feitosa Neto, Ana Karen, Silveira Pereira Caracas, Esaú, Aguiar Carvalho +12

This paper analyzes the impacts of the global energy transition on economics, technology, resources, and geopolitics, exploring Brazil's potential to leverage its abundant strategic resources and diverse energy matrix for sustainable develo…

Vourdoubas John

This paper examines decarbonization possibilities for food processing industries in Crete, including olive mills, wineries, and cheese plants. It finds that mature renewable technologies (solar PV, solar thermal, biomass, heat pumps) can me…
