The world is moving towards renewable sources of energy for its energy needs and solar and wind power are one of the most promising sources of ‘clean’ energy. There is a high level of uncertainty and variability associated with these sources of en...

In this dissertation, I present the findings of a formative evaluation of the changes in the electricity markets of states that implemented renewable portfolio standards (RPS policies) from 2000 to 2010. The formative evaluation is an assessment o...
This study establishes a decision making procedure using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for a U.S. national renewable portfolio standard, and proposes technology-specific targets for renewable electricity generation for the country. The study pr...
Renewable forms of energy are being intensively pursued and investigated in systems connected to the grid as well as in standalone applications. The global energy generation is expected to grow 2.7 times by the year 2035. Today, renewable energy r...

Increased share of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in the generation mix requires higher flexibility in power system resources. The intermittent nature of the RES calls for higher reserves in power systems to smooth out the unpredictable power fluc...
Presently, governments are focused on the development of diverse energy sources from renewable supplies. A major part of that is the development of pico-hydro and micro-hydro power generation in low head, low flow rate rivers and streams. Numerous...
