dc.description.abstract | According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), global energy demand is expected to increase considerably in the coming years as the result of population growth and economic development [1]. The vast majority of the world’s energy is generated from non-renewable sources, specifically oil, coal and natural gas. The increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by burning these fossil fuels are believed to be the primary sources of global warming and the long term climate changes [2]. Furthermore, global warming is considered to be the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time, responsible for raising sea levels, raging storms, ferocious fires, and severe drought [3]. Electricity is mainly considered to be an environmentally friendly source of energy. However, electricity is largely generated by burning fossil fuels in power plants. This process releases substantial amounts of carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere. Therefore, it is very important to utilize the generated electricity in an efficient way in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately the climate change effects. | |
