Since concentrated power generation by Stirling engine has the highest efficiency therefore efficient power generation by concentrated systems using a Stirling engine was a primary motive of this research. A 1 kW Stirling engine was used to generate solar power using a Fresnel l…
Extensive increase of distributed generation (DG) penetration and the existence of multiple DG units at distribution level have introduced the notion of micro-grid. This thesis develops a detailed non-linear and small-signal dynamic model of a microgrid that includes PV, wind an…
Malaysia's transportation sector accounts for 48% of the country's total energy use. The country is expected to become a net oil importer by the year 2011. To encourage renewable energy development and relieve the country's emerging oil dependence, in 2006 the government mandate…
Renewable energies such as wind power and solar energy have become alternatives to fossil energy due to the improved energy security and sustainability. This trend leads to the rapid growth of wind and Photovoltaic (PV) farm installations worldwide. Power electronic equipments a…
Degradation of the solar cell over the time under different mechanical and loading during the manufacturing or use is one of the most common problems in the solar industry. One of the major reasons for this degradation is the cracks and/or film damage of one of the conductive la…
The objective of this work has two major tasks that investigation the use of CHHP system at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T;) campus and studying solid waste as renewable source of energy: current and future possibility in Libya. Task one has thre…
Perovskite structured oxides; La1-xSrxMnO 3-δ and LaxSr1-xCoyFe1-y O3-δ are widely used as cathode for oxygen reduction reaction in a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). To study the electrode mechanism, a model system was developed using dense thin-film electrodes. Polycrystalline na…
Energy issues in the United States are currently receiving a very high priority. There is a strong desire to replace fossil fuels with alternative sources of energy since fuel prices are rising dramatically, and for the harming effect on the environment. Biomass is one of the mo…
Microalgae harvesting is a labor- and energy-intensive process. For instance, classical harvesting technologies such as chemical addition and mechanical separation are economically prohibiting for biofuel production. Newer approaches to harvest microalgae have been developed in …
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) as a recently formed state has undergone a transition, the speed of which has brought the country to the forefront of promoting a global sustainability discourse. Through the introduction of numerous sustainable development initiatives, a self-cont…
Scientist and policy makers alike have identified renewable energy technologies as a means to reduce global greenhouse gas admissions and remediate some of the negative effects of climate change. The global campaign to promote renewables is particularly strong among European cou…
In recent years, interest in wide bandgap materials such as diamond, SiC and GaN has grown due to their ability to withstand operation in high temperature and high-power environments as well as their ability to absorb light in the ultraviolet spectrum while not showing a signifi…
Distributed renewable energy resources have attracted significant attention in recent years due to the falling cost of the renewable energy technology, extensive federal and state incentives, and the application in improving load-point reliability. This growing proliferation, ho…
The increasing amount of food waste (FW) is one of the most challenging problems around the world. The remarkable amount of FW produced is driven by various factors such as population growth, modernization, safety policy, culture, lifestyle, and human behavior. FW commonly will …
One of the pressing challenges to economic development in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is access to electrical power. The region is endowed with natural resources that can meet this challenge. Yet, 620 million people in SSA lack access to electricity from a central grid, most of the…
Esta dissertação centra-se no estudo de Viabilidade das Energias Renováveis em Angola; deste modo, primeiro, é apresentada uma visão geral sobre o histórico mundial na área das energias renováveis, aborda-se a independência energética de Angola, a descarbonização do setor produt…
This dissertation develops a systematic approach to comprehensively investigate the application potential of Solar PV, wind and fuel cells in reducing GHGs emissions for energy intensive global manufacturing industry. This systematic approach is developed by integrating the tech…
In this thesis, in order to investigate the impact of charging load from plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), a stochastic model is developed in Matlab. In this model, two main types of PHEVs are defined: public transportation vehicles and private vehicles. Different chargi…
