Case studies for Australia and Hawaii are presented to conclude that low-load diesel is a natural precursor to storage due to its accessibility and also benefits low and high-penetration isolated power systems. The book continues with Structural Equation Modelling of building occupants attitude, knowledge and behaviour to propose the inclusion of motivational factors in a Building Occupant Environmental Behaviour model for sustainable building energy performance. The following section presents an analysis of different levels of renewable energy integration and energy storage to suggest the most suitable in terms of the reduction of CO2 emissions and expected earnings from a lower LCOE. Further on, a proof-of-concept heat pipe technology for passive cooling to improve the performance of photovoltaic panels in the hot climate of Oman is presented using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The application of an uncontrolled diode rectifier-high voltage direct current transmission system for the Jeju Island power system with an off-shore new wind farm is simulated to demonstrate cost reduction and increased reliability and stability. The book concludes with view factor computations of bifacial solar photovoltaic based on the finite element method using two programming languages to demonstrate that Python offers a better platform than Microsoft Excel-Visual Basic for Applications where computation time is a significant modelling challenge. 517 $aDevelopment of Sustainable Energy 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $abuilding energy exchange 610 $aview factor 610 $aPython programming language 610 $abifacial solar photovoltaic (PV) 610 $adiode rectifier 610 $aHVDC 610 $aJeju Island power system 610 $aoffshore wind farm 610 $aCFD 610 $aheat pipe 610 $atemperature 610 $aphotovoltaic 610 $aspanwise 610 $awind energy 610 $astorage 610 $aislanded systems 610 $aenergy consumption 610 $aStructural Equation Modelling (SEM), occupant environmental attitude 610 $aKnowledge and Behaviour 610 $abattery storage 610 $ahybrid power system 610 $alow-load diesel 610 $amicrogrid 610 $aremote area 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aMuneer$b Tariq$4edt$0786428 702 $aGul$b Mehreen Saleem$4edt 702 $aGago$b Eulalia Jadraque$4edt 702 $aMuneer$b Tariq$4oth 702 $aGul$b Mehreen Saleem$4oth 702 $aGago$b Eulalia Jadraque$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910673906403321 996 $aDevelopment of Sustainable Energy$93059370 997 $aUNINA
