Abstract

Renewable power sources and technologies are increasingly being adopted due to the benefits of environment friendly operations. This is because renewable power sources do not emit any environment pollutants. An equally important environmental goal is the realization of carbon removal. However, the influence of renewable power sources on carbon removal has not received sufficient attention. Nevertheless, this is necessary because light waves which drive the process of photosynthesis and carbon removal in plants can be reflected off renewable energy systems. This can result in an increase or reduction of light intensity. However, existing research is yet to address the realization of carbon removal from the perspectives of the operation of renewable energy systems. The proposed research addresses this challenge and presents a network architecture which ensures that the process of carbon removal is not hindered due to the siting of renewable energy systems. The discussion in the paper considers solar and wind renewable energy sources.
