Technical Efficiency of renewable electricity production in SSA
Though institutional quality has been identified to improve economic performance, the literature on renewable electricity has conspicuously neglected the role institutional quality plays in ensuring the efficiency of renewable electricity production in developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This paper addresses this gap by investigating the role of economic and political institutional quality in technical efficiency of production of renewable electricity.. Using stochastic frontier model, the paper finds that technical efficiency of production of renewable electricity is 57%, suggesting that most countries in SSA are farther away from their production frontier. Both economic and political institutional quality contribute significantly to reducing technical inefficiency of production of renewable electricity. The paper recommends for enforcement of existing laws that enhance economic and political institutional quality to raise efficiency of production of renewable electricity.

Artificial Intelligence for Renewable Energy Storage Roadmap for 2030
Renewable energy plays a key role in the journey to net zero carbon emissions, helping to reduce the demand for fossil fuels by providing cleaner sources of energy. But as the world derives an increasing amount of its electricity from these renewable energy sources, there's a growing need for technologies that can capture and store it. Renewable energy generation mainly relies on naturally-occurring factors - hydroelectric power is dependent on seasonal river flows, solar power on the amount of daylight, wind power on the consistency of the wind - meaning that the amounts being generated will be intermittent. Similarly, the demand for energy isn't constant either, as people generally tend to use different amounts of energy at different times of the day and the year. So, when the amount of renewable energy being generated is greater than what's needed, it makes sense to store that excess energy so it can be used at a time when the demand exceeds the generation.

Critical analysis of the work carried out by artificial intelligence
This book identifies sources of solution on the contribution of human resources, taking into account the new form of workers to be paid but not now in 2024. Because they are not living beings and because they have a physical form of robot or equipment connected to artificial intelligence not needing material goods such as food, housing, clothing, etc.The fact of not having to provide professional income in exchange for the contribution of remuneration to this new category of workers, is an incentive that pushes employers to prefer the preparation of artificial intelligence to put them to work, instead of financing institutions that prepare human beings for trades and arts. This choice seems to be a very clever human alienation, because the act of programming an artificial intelligence by teaching a job to an object, risks being dangerous because of the disorder of competition created by this human alienation. The wake of artificial intelligences that work in an invisible unpaid way abuses the acquired know-how of humanity. The reader of this analysis is a professional with the knowledge to distinguish human law from the law related to objects.
