Abstract
Industry’s electricity consumption will comprise an increasing share of the global energy demand during the next two decades. It is expected that the growth rate of electricity consumption will be more than that of the consumption of other sources of energy (e.g., liquid fuels, natural gas, and coal). The increasing prices of fossil fuels such as crude oil and the increasing concerns about the environmental consequences of greenhouse gas emissions have renewed the interest in the development of alternative energy resources. In particular, the Fukushima Daiichi accident was a turning point in the call for alternative energy sources. Renewable energy is now considered a more desirable source of fuel than nuclear power plants because of the absence of fatal risks.
