READ MORE1. Introduction. In Iran, power outages have become a major issue for the Ministry of Energy (MOE). Different enviro-social reasons such as the low volume of water behind the country''s dams as a result of global warming, annual population growth, and more importantly natural disasters (e.g., floods, heavy rainfalls, widespread fires, and
READ MORESolar energy technologies can play an important role in strengthening our energy system''s resilience. Two key attributes make solar a unique asset for resilience. The first is that solar generation can be distributed, as opposed to centralized. This means individual buildings can host their own solar systems to meet some or all of their power
