Malaysia has abundant renewable energy resources like solar, mini-hydro, biomass, biogas, geothermal, and waste energy sources that can be managed optimally. This study uses qualitative method. In this study, we analyze about the potential and policy Malaysia's renewable energy. Renewable energy helps to strengthen its defense as well. Malaysia also has an authority organization that makes policies and programs to develop renewable energy. Therefore, the development of renewable energy in Malaysia is very effective and efficient with the support of abundant natural resources and the application of renewable energy technology that is supported through government policies hopefully increasing national energy security.
China is the most densely populated country in the world with high rate of economic growth resulting in higher demand for energy resources and in strive to guarantee stable supply of these resources. Chinese annual GDP growth in 2012 and 2013 was down to 7.7% comparing to 10% in 2000-2011 [7]. In 2012 and 2013 economic growth stumbled because of slowdown in manufacturing and exports, taking into account that Chinese government was eager to cut inflation and excessive investments in some segments of the market. Speaking about energy sector Chinese government is aimed at promotion of market-based pricing systems, activities for advanced energy efficiency and higher competition between energy companies, and increased investment in renewable energy resources. Considering renewables as one of many ways to diversify energy supplies, lower dependence on coal and improve environmental situation Chinese government actively supports and develops programs aimed at support of renewable energy industry in China. Chinese economic development is tightly attached to five-year plans. It seems important to mention the fact that main energy goals for current 12-th "five-year plan" are to achieve 15% renewables consumption and CO2 sequestration up to 40-45% by2020 in order to lower dependency on coal and improve environmental situation. As a result of Chinese state policy to develop renewables China achieved certain results in wind energy, helioenergetics, hydroenergetics and energy from waste recycling.
Due to the exhaustion of the fossile fuel reserves of the Earth, the increase of fossile fuel prices and the difficulties concerning stable fuel supply, the increase of electricity production from renewable energy sources has a special strategic importance. In this study, I am going to evaluate the circumstances of the production and use of renewable energy sources in Hungary and in the European Union. I present the Hungarian economic, energy policy-related and social circumstances which make it necessary to support renewable energy production. I am going to give an overview on the related EU strategies concerning the sector and the Hungarian development plan in this field. I pay particular attention to the examination of development opportunities and the R&D activities going on in this area in Hungary, as well as the efficiency of the means used to improve renewable energy use.
In the paper characteristic of the renewable energy sources in Poland was presented. The sustainable development concept which makes the renewable energy sources necessary and these sources were defined. Polish legislation one a given problem was presented. The basic statistics of the production and consumption of energy from renewable sources in Poland and in the world were shown. ; Stanisław Borkowski
Renewable sources of energy play a marginal role in Russia. This will change little in the coming years. Moscow is putting its betting merely on the development of large hydroelectric power stations - but even more so on new nuclear and coal power plants. In addition, selected plants that run on other 'non-traditional' renewable energies are to be connected to the national grid. The equipping of independent plants so that they may use renewable energy sources that could replace or at least supplement the electricity generated by diesel generators or coal power plants remains subject to the initiative of local and regional authorities. The same goes for the joint production of electricity and heat in small installations where renewable energy sources can also be used. Adapted from the source document.
"With the growth in renewable energy (RE) generation installed capacity, many countries such as the UK are relying on higher levels of RE generation to meet targets for reduced greenhouse gas emissions. In the face of this, the integration issue is now of increasing concern, in particular to system operators. This updated text describes the individual renewable technologies and their power generation characteristics alongside an expanded introduction to power systems and the challenges posed by high levels of penetrations from such technologies. Features of this edition: Covers power conditioning, the characteristics of RE generators, with emphasis on their time varying nature, and the use of power electronics in interfacing RE sources to grids. Outlines up to date RE integration issues such as power flow in networks supplied from a combination of conventional and renewable energy sources. Update on the economics of power generation and the role of markets in delivering investment in sustainable solutions by specialist contributors. nsiders the challenge of maintaining power balance in a system with increasing RE input, including recent moves toward power system frequency support from RE sources. Offers an insightful perspective on the shape of future power systems including offshore networks and demand side management. Worked examples enhance this edition's suitability as a textbook for introductory courses in RE systems technology. Firmly established as an essential reference, Renewable Energy in Power Systems, Second Edition will prove a real asset to engineers and others involved in both the growing power and renewables sector. This text should also be of particular benefit to students of electrical power engineering and will appeal to non-specialists through the inclusion of background material covering the basics of electricity generation"--
