With the advancements in the wind energy production industry, the demand for a cost effective and safe design of wind turbine structures is growing rapidly. The wide deployment of wind turbines in locations with high seismic hazard has lead engineers to take into account a more …
This study was done to explore the feasibility of providing solar energy, at a household level using photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, to three states in northern Nigeria. Nigeria is a country that is limited by political and economic uncertainties as well as lack of a constant su…
Congress passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 to reduce dependency on foreign oil by increasing the use of biofuels. EISA mandates 36 billion gallons of biofuel production in 2022, representing an increase of 118% in ei…
The continuous use of fossil fuels causes a significant pollution impact on the atmosphere. As a result of such pollution effects, unwanted greenhouse and climate change effects are seen in every part of the world. In order to keep the environment friendly, research is ongoing t…
Water is the root of life and the engine that drives agriculture, industry, economy and services. The demand for water often necessitates desalination, particularly in arid coastal environments where there are several desalination technologies in use today such as Multi-Effect D…
Saudi Arabia is a major oil-producing nation facing a rapidly-growing population, high unemployment, climate change, and the depletion of its natural resources, potentially including its oil supply. Technology transfer is regarded as a means to diversify countries' economies bey…
In recent years, the energy demand is increasing leads to use and utilization of clean energy becomes target of countries all over the world. Thermoelectric generator is one type of clean energy generators which is a solid-state device that converts heat energy into electrical e…
Modern technology and materials science, coupled with an understanding of our energy consumption patterns, allows for the opportunity to realize large-scale energy savings through the implementation of more efficient, adaptive technologies. More efficient heating and cooling of …
The purpose of this thesis is to study the impacts of the penetration of wind power on the Libyan power system with reference to voltage profile improvement and system reliability. The well-known loss of load probability and expectation concepts was employed. Brief description o…
Kuwait is an important producer of oil and gas. Its rapid socio-economic growth has been characterized by increasing population, high rates of urbanization, and substantial industrialization, which is transforming it into a large big energy consumer as well. In addition to urban…
The major concern in electric grid operation is operating under the most economical and reliable fashion to ensure affordability and continuity of electricity supply. This dissertation investigates the effects of such challenges, which affect electric grid reliability and econom…
The rapid growth of Photovoltaic (PV) technology has been very visible over the past decade. Recently, the penetration of PV plants to the existing grid has significantly increased. Such increase in the integration of solar energy has brought attention to the solar irradiance fo…
The objective of this thesis is to study the impact of high penetration wind energy in economic and reliable operation of microgrids. Wind power is variable, i.e., constantly changing, and nondispatchable, i.e., cannot be controlled by the microgrid controller. Thus an accurate …
Here we document and explain a general trend in the performance of refrigeration and heat pump systems: larger installations are more efficient. We show analytically why the performance of the system must increase with the size of the installation. The second law efficiency of r…
The importance of renewable energy technologies is more critical than ever now in 2020. Among the different types of renewable energy sources, solar energy is especially promising because of its abundance. This Ph.D. dissertation focuses on harnessing solar energy on two differe…
Son yıllarda fosil yakıt kullanımı arttıkça ortaya çıkan çevre sorunları, kaynakların tükenmesi, petrol fiyatlarındaki artış gibi sebepler bilim dünyasının yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları hakkında yaptığı çalışmaları yoğunlaştırmıştır. Bu kapsamda da dizel yakıta en yakın altern…
Yenilenebilir ve sürdürülebilir enerjiler hayatımızda daha fazla önem kazanmaktadır. Dünyada güneş pilleri, rüzgâr türbinleri, biyokütle enerjisi ve diğer temiz enerji kaynakları hakkında birçok araştırma yayınlanmaktadır. Son yıllarda, SnS ince film güneş hücrelerinde fotovolta…
When we look up today’s energy consumption and production levels, it is obvious that the energy planning of the cities should be done by up-to-date and scientific methods with the help of sustainable road maps. To achieve this, one must analyze the needs of the cities, have suff…
