Corporate Financial Strategy in the Energy Transition: Investment, Risk, and Policy Frameworks | Chapter 3 | New Advances in Business, Management and Economics Vol. 6

Corporate finance strategies play an important part in this transformation, providing a link between existing energy practices and a more sustainable future. The shift toward sustainable energy requires a significant transformation in corporate financial strategies, particularly in the allocation of capital for renewable energy projects. The aim of this study is to explore the critical financial considerations influencing the transition, including investment mechanisms, the cost of capital, and risk mitigation strategies. Green bonds and sustainability-linked loans are two crucial factors that corporations in the energy sector increasingly rely on to raise capital for renewable energy projects. These instruments offer financial incentives for organisations to meet sustainability targets, lowering borrowing costs and ultimately enhancing corporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance. Many corporations have been known for entering joint ventures and strategic partnerships by which they share financial risks and leverage complementary expertise. By leveraging these adaptive financial approaches, corporations are able to better navigate the evolving energy landscape and ensure long-term sustainability.

Study of Controllers for an Isolated Full Bridge Boost Converter Topology in Fuel Cell Applications: A Comparative Approach | Chapter5 | Newest Updates in Physical Science Research Vol. 13

In recent years, renewable energy sources have become a fascinating study topic, and fuel cells have emerged as a viable alternative for generating power to address the energy crisis. This sparked interest in power conditioning systems, which connect the fuel cell to the grid. Among the several converter topologies, the isolated full bridge boost converter (IFBC) is the most suitable for fuel cell applications. This paper proposes a Predictive Switching Modulator (PSM) Control for the converter architecture, and its performance is compared to Linear Peak Control. Non-Linear Carrier Control (NLCC) and Current Mode Control (LPCM) (NLC). Three controllers (LPCM, NLC, and PSM) are used to operate the chosen IFBC converter, and simulation is performed using MATLAB with a fuel cell as the input source. The three controllers are then evaluated in terms of time response parameters, with the suggested PSM control emerging as the superior controller for obtaining quick responses while overcoming uncertainties and maintaining steady state stability.
