What is Renewable Energies

Optimization and Decision-Making in the Renewable Energy Industry
Renewable energies all energies produced via a so-called “inexhaustible” energy source, which regenerates easily. There are five major families of renewable energies. Solar photovoltaic and thermal energy refers to electricity produced from photovoltaic panels and heat produced via thermal collectors. Wind power is energy created from the wind. There are two types: onshore and offshore. In both cases, the wind turns blades connected to the wind turbine generator, which transforms the mechanical energy of the wind into electrical energy. Hydraulic energy is obtained by harnessing the motive power of water. Energy is created by passing water through turbines, thereby transforming the force of currents into electrical energy. Biomass energy is energy from combustion or anaerobic digestion. Geothermal energy is the use of energy contained in the basement to transform it into a source of heat and electricity. It is inexhaustible, stable, clean energy that is available all year round without interruption.

Abstract
The electric vehicle segment is gaining momentum around the globe, and Morocco will not be the exception in this regard. The present study serves to look into the question of the current and future electricity needs of this segment of the means of transport. The main contribution is preparing the necessary adaptations in the frame of electricity production capacity at the national level. This chapter aims to highlight the enablers to be seized and the main barriers to be overcome by the use of an integrated SWOT-PESTEL analysis in combination with the analytical hierarchy process. First, the SWOT-PESTEL framework is dedicated to identifying the main criteria that enable and hinder the viability of implementing electric freight vehicles (EFV) in Morocco from a sustainability perspective. Afterwards, the quantification process of the output is realized through the application of the AHP method.
