Abstract

Solar energy is a renewable energy that can produce heat via a thermal system and generate electricity via a photovoltaic (PV) module. A photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collector is a system that has a PV module combined with a thermal collector system. The PVT collector is a popular technology for harvesting solar energy. A PVT collector can generate both electrical and thermal energies simultaneously. The study aims to validate the PV and outlet temperature for various mass flow rates and solar radiation. To develop a predictive model, a steady-state energy analysis of a PVT air collector was performed. An energy balance equation was solved using the matrix inversion method. The theoretical model was developed and validated against the experimental results, which have a similar trend and are consistent with the experimental results. On the other hand, the validated model was used to study the performances of PVT air collectors using exergy analysis for the mass flow rate ranging from 0.007 kg/s to 0.07 kg/s and solar radiation ranging from 385 W/m2 to 820 W/m2. The result from the mathematical model was found to be consistent with the experimental data with an accuracy of about 95 %. The average PVT exergy efficiency was found to be 12.7 % and 12.0 % for the theoretical and experimental studies, respectively.

Abstract

A photovoltaic (PV) system integrated with a bi-fluid cooling mechanism, which is known as photovoltaic thermal (PVT) system, was investigated. The electrical characteristics of flexible solar panel were evaluated for PV and PV with bi-fluid (air and water) cooling system. The integration of monocrystalline flexible solar panel into both systems was tested under a fixed solar radiation of 800 W/m2. A total of 0.04–0.10 kg/s of air flow was utilised in PV with cooling system with a fixed water mass flow rate of 0.025 kg/s. The efficiencies of flexible panel for PV and PV with cooling system were explored. For PV with bi-fluid flow, the highest obtained efficiency of module was 15.95% when 0.08 kg/s of air and 0.025 kg/s of water were allowed to flow through the cooling system. Compared with PV without cooling mechanism, the highest efficiency of module was 13.35% under same solar radiation. Current–voltage and power graphs were also plotted to present the electrical characteristics (current, voltage and power) generated by both systems.

Abstract

Degradation of components and system failure within the microgrid system is deteriorating the performance of electrification. The aim of this study is to discuss the relationship and connections between issues resulting from degradation and deterioration in the microgrid system, in addition to introducing the prominent impacts which may eventually lead to the premature termination of the microgrid system. This study explored the microgrid degradation and deterioration issues within four microgrid sections: generation section, storage section, transmission section, and distribution section. Subsequently, this study analyzes, derives, and classifies all emerging issues into four types of prominent impacts. The degradation and deterioration invoked many component performance issues into four main damaging outcomes, namely (i) deteriorated transmission line yielded issues regarding expected energy not achieved; (ii) energy deficit and unpredicted blackout come after the depth of discharge (DOD) reduction and invoke a loss of power supply; (iii) a shorter battery life cycle, shorter transformer lifespan, and decreased DG lifetime concluded as a shorter microgrid life expectancy; and (iv) rapid microgridbroke down and the crash of the key component inadvertently fastened the time to failure and gave rise to the early failure of a microgrid system. It is envisaged that the discussion in this study can provide useful mapped information for the researcher, stakeholder, operator, and other parties for thoroughly addressing various degradation and deterioration issues and anticipating the early termination of the microgrid system.

Abstract

Interest in utilizing new and renewable energy sources, commonly known as bioenergy, has significantly grown in the past decade due to the mounting environmental concerns, such as air pollution, global warming, and ozone layer depletion, resulting from the accelerated consumption of fossil fuels. Biogas, derived from the anaerobic decomposition of organic materials like cow dung, presents a viable solution due to its high methane content and calorific value. This study aims to assess the performance of biogas-fueled generator sets utilizing cow dung as the raw material for biogas production. The generator set employed has a power capacity of 2,500 Watts, and various load variations ranging from 150 to 350 Watts were applied. The parameters measured include voltage, current, biogas discharge, and efficiency. The findings indicate that the generator's output power for the five load variations of 150, 200, 250, 300, and 350 Watts are 150, 226.7, 266, 298.3, and 372.3 Watts, respectively. Moreover, the fuel consumption rates range from 0.013 to 0.009 kg/minute for the 150 to 350 Watts load, respectively. Notably, the 350 Watts loading exhibits the highest efficiency compared to other load variations, with an efficiency percentage of 14.51 %. This research advances our knowledge of the useful uses of biogas in generating systems, where its use is growing.

Abstract

There is a lot of untapped potential for low-head and very low-head (VLH) hydroelectric power in Indonesia. The challenge in developing VLH is that the locations are very difficult to access by vehicle. One example is in the interior of South Kalimantan Province, where it takes more than 12 hours to reach the location on foot. This paper discusses an experimental study of a pico hydro propeller turbine prototype for VLH applications which is suitable for use in remote areas of Indonesia. Its design is simple and lightweight, and it is made from PVC. The turbine's specifications include a power output of 250 W with a net head of 1.53 m. The turbine was designed with four different runner models, including variations in the number of blades and their geometric shapes. The runner models are type 1 and 2 with five and four blades, respectively, and type 3 (in a shallow configuration) and type 4 (in a steep configuration) with 3 blades. The generator used was a DC, 36 V, with a maximum power of 500 W, 2,500 rpm, and 1 phase. An AC lamp was used as the generator load, so an inverter from DC to AC was used in this test. The propeller turbine was tested in the laboratory. The experiments were conducted at various flow rates by adjusting the rotational speed of the supply pump and the electrical load using incandescent lamps. The test results are presented as graphs showing the relationship between flow rate and rotational speed, hydraulic and electrical power, and efficiency. The experimental results indicate that the turbine with a type 3 runner model featuring three blades in a gentle slope configuration has the highest efficiency, approximately 72.5 %.
