Solar rotation is the rotation of the Sun about its own axis. The Sun is not a solid body, but is composed of a gaseous plasma, and different latitudes rotate with different periods. The solar rotation period is 25.67 days at the equator and decreases with increasing latitude, reaching 33.40 days at 75 degrees of latitude. The source of this differential rotation is an area of current research in solar astronomy.
This paper provided a comprehensive yet a concise overview of the potential, deployment, outlook, and barriers to renewable energy, including small-scale hydropower,
Based on a systematic review of the literature, this chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the profile and trajectory of research on energy in Central Asia
In this study, the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis, spectrum analysis, and correlation analysis are employed to reveal the possible link between the summer
Hydroclimatic changes over arid central Asia (ACA) are not fully understood, primarily due to the paucity of accurate, high-resolution climatic records. Here we reconstruct hydroclimatic
As various countries converge to confront the challenges associated with traditional energy sources, the collective efforts to pivot towards solar power reflect a paradigm

The energy transition implies difficult political decisions that governments and societies are not fully ready for. It also requires enhanced regional cooperation and coordination that would allow Central Asian countries to have more diversified and reliable energy systems. The obstacles are substantial but not unsurmountable.
Energy grids in Central Asia, inherited from the Soviet times, are run down and ineffective. Major investments are needed for upgrading them and making them sufficiently flexible to integrate intermittent resources into national power systems.
At present, there is an alignment of domestic, regional, and international factors conducive to making substantial progress in the green transition in Central Asia. In October 2022, the Program on Central Asia launched the Renewable Energy Transition in Central Asia (RETCA) project to support the transition to renewables in Central Asia.
Renewable Energy in Central Asia Context Five countries of Central Asia - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan - face significant environmental challenges, including high levels of pollution and impacts of climate change.
