Abstract

This study systematically evaluates Phototovoltaic (PV) system energy losses and performance quality across selected locations in sub-Saharan African (SSA). Utilising a computational model for a hypothetical 10 kWp crystalline silicon (c-Si) PV system, the research categorises energy losses into irradiance (kWh/m²) and electricity production (kWh/kWp). Key contributors to irradiance losses include angular reflectivity, dirt, dust, and soiling, while inverter and radiation conversion, spectral correction, transformer and cabling, and mismatch are identified as main sources of PV system energy losses. Tilt and orientation impact the transformation of Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) into Global Tilted Irradiance (GTI), with the highest gain in Pretoria (215.4 kWh/m²) and the least in Kinshasa (3.6 kWh/m²). The study notes the highest PV system energy loss in Pretoria (346.2 kWh/kWp) and the least in Kinshasa (267.4 kWh/kWp). Despite variations in energy loss sources, the cumulative degradation rate is reported as 12.8% for all locations over a 25-year lifespan. The annual average performance ratio (PR) and capacity factor (CF) range from 77.4%/19.7% in Pretoria to 77.4%/15.6% in Kinshasa. Ambient conditions, including wind speed, relative humidity, precipitation, and temperature, are identified as key factors influencing solar irradiance and PV system losses. The study suggests preventive measures such as optimal system design, the use of bypass diodes, and high-quality PV panels.

Abstract

Solid electrolyte is the essential part in all-solid-state battery (ASSB), in which the sintering step is vital to get a dense and high ionic conductivity. However, Li-loss frequently occurs at a high temperature, causing ionic conductivity to drop. This research investigated a dry-cold sintering process (dry-CSP) to Ta doped-LLZO (LLZTO), in which the LLZTO powder was pressed by cold isostatic pressing (CIP) at 40 MPa without solvent addition and then heated at 300oC for 2h. XRD analysis found that LLZTO300C40P remains crystallized in a single cubic with ionic conductivity of (3.02 0.53) x 10-5 Scm-1, which is higher than another result in Al doped-LLZO by CSP uniaxial pressing and with moistened-solvent (wet-CSP). The feasibility was tested by preparing a coin cell with a LiCoO2 cathode and Li metal anode. Cyclic voltammogram of the LCO-LLZTO300C40P-Li ASSB provides a high current density representing a higher electrochemical reaction rate inside the full cell. The battery ran well with an initial charging capacity of 88 mAh/g, and a discharge capacity of 50 mAh/g, providing 56.8 % Coulombic Efficiency. An interface engineering between electrode-solid electrolyte is essential to develop the ASSB performance.

Abstract

As long as buildings face various climate change impacts in recent decades, such as increased heat, particularly in the residential sector. Therefore, energy retrofit, and climate-adaptive designs may contribute significantly to climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. At the same time, these strategies do not only improve the sustainability of dwellings/houses/residences but also contribute to broader goals of increasing energy efficiency, reducing environmental impact, offering economic benefits, and enhancing the community's resilience in the challenges they face impact from the effects of climate change. This study aims to examine and present the development of energy retrofitting, energy efficiency and climate-adaptive design for dwellings/ residential buildings in hot weather publications through bibliometric research. The research has been examined within the Web of Science™ Core Collection (W.O.S.) online database spanning from 2012 to November 2023 by using the "Title/Abstract/Keywords" category, and a comprehensive data visualisation has been conducted utilising the VOSviewer and CiteSpace programmes. The findings indicate the research trends in the literature and future challenges, and the results from these findings demonstrate the need for sustainable and energy-efficient buildings to preserve the environment and climate. These sustainable developments focus on improvements in energy retrofitting technologies, energy efficiency and saving targets, indoor thermal comfort, optimising passive design and minimising energy demand. This study will probably be a source to provide valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, experts, and policymakers to understand the implications of energy retrofitting and climate-adaptive design in hot arid climates. As well as it would offer theoretical and practical initiatives to be applied in this field.

Abstract

The sustainability can be maintained by utilizing the available waste as feedstock and catalyst such as dairy and eggshell waste respectively for biodiesel production. In this study, the calcium oxide (CaO) synthesized from calcined eggshell was doped with potassium hydroxide (KOH-ECaO) via wet impregnation method and analyzed the catalyst performance on biodiesel production from dairy waste scum oil (DWSO) via microwave assisted transesterification. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy equipped with Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) contents were deduced by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The KOH-ECaO catalyst showed a good potential based on the characterizations analysis such as high pore size (25.5 nm) which supported by SEM pattern analysis. The highest biodiesel production (75%) was obtained at optimum reaction parameters conditions. The optimized conditions were discovered to be 3 wt.% of catalyst, 16:1 of methanol to oil molar ratio, reaction temperature of 65°C and 15 minutes of reaction time as microwave provided faster reaction for the transesterification. These innovative results showed that KOH-ECaO could enhance the biodiesel production from DWSO which encouraged the usage of waste for wealth product.

Abstract

The focus of this study is to investigate the energy performance of a direct-expansion solar-assisted heat pump water heating system (DX-SAHPWH). The system consists of an unglazed solar collector-evaporator, which can absorb heat from solar energy and air ambient simultaneously, a condenser in the form of a coil immersed in a hot water storage tank, a thermostatic expansion valve and a hermetic reciprocating compressor. The performance of the heat pump system is evaluated using a developed mathematical model under Matlab code. The modelling method is based on lumped and distributed parameter approach of different system components. Numerical calculations were carried-out to study the influence of different parameters, such as ambient temperature, solar radiation intensity and polytropic index on the system performance. Additionally, in order to evaluate the long-term system performance, the system’s model was applied on a case study of a single-family building located in Djelfa (Algeria), which represents the coldest arid region of the country. The results showed that the solar radiation intensity and ambient temperature have significant effects on the heat pump performance. A COP of 5.9 and a collector-evaporator efficiency of 1.9 were obtained at high solar radiation of 850 W/m2 resulting in lower heating time (29 min). In addition, results revealed that the system can operate even at lower ambient temperature due to its ability to take advantage of heat from the ambient air. The results from the case study gave a COP ranging from 2.3 to 3.8, which enhance the promising adoption of this system in domestic hot water production to respond to people daily life needs with clean, abundant and renewable energy.

Abstract

As a sustainable replacement for fossil fuels, biodiesel is a game-changer in the energy sector. There is no strategy to minimize biodiesel's significance as a sustainable, clean fuel source in light of the increasing climate change and environmental sustainability concerns. Nevertheless, conventional biodiesel production methods often run into problems like inadequate conversion efficiency and inappropriate fuel properties, which impede their broad adoption. The revolutionary potential of nanotechnology to circumvent these limitations and revolutionize biodiesel consumption and production is explored in this review paper. There are new possibilities for improving biodiesel output and engine efficiency, thanks to nanotechnology, which can alter matter at the atomic and molecular levels. Using nano-catalysts, nano-emulsification processes, and nano-encapsulation procedures, researchers have made significant advances in improving biodiesel qualities such as stability, combustion efficiency, and viscosity. Through a comprehensive analysis of current literature and research data, this article elucidates the crucial role of nanotechnology in advancing biodiesel technology. By shedding light on the most current advancements, challenges, and potential future outcomes in nano-based biodiesel manufacturing and consumption, this review hopes to add to the growing corpus of knowledge in the field and inspire additional innovation. In conclusion, there is great hope for a sustainable energy future, increased economic growth, and reduced environmental impacts through the application of nanotechnology.

Abstract

In recent years, the conventional control schemes for renewable energy-based inverter-dominated microgrids have been expeditiously replaced by Virtual Oscillator-based Control (VOC). The method of VOC ensures fast synchronisation and efficient load-sharing capabilities in inverter-based renewable energy systems. This work evaluates the effectiveness of VOC-based inverters in mitigating the transient dynamics of power system parameters like voltage, frequency and current under different types of switching events involving active and reactive load combinations. Further, to enhance the control efficiency of VOC under such load-switching scenarios a modified form of VOC is proposed utilizing the ability of the feedback mechanism to strengthen the state space trajectory of dynamical systems. In the proposed method, the control oscillator of conventional VOC driven by the inverter current is modified by providing a feedback signal in the form of an integral function of the error between the drive oscillator and the trajectory of the inverter output. The efficiencies of different forms of feedback are quantified in terms of percentage deviation in power system parameters as well as THD. The proposed feedback strategy can improve the control performance by bringing down the voltage deviation from 57 % in conventional VOC to around 4%. Likewise, the frequency deviation is brought down to 0.14% from 19.26 %. These advantages are achieved without any significant adverse impact on the THD. The proposed approach can be utilized in multi-inverter-based systems serving sensitive loads in microgrids.

Abstract

The relevance of the examined problem is connected with the necessity to develop measures to combat conductor galloping and the design of power transmission lines (ETL). The purpose of the research – to analyse statistical observation data on conductor galloping and apply a mathematical model to determine the parameters of galloping, to develop effective measures to combat conductor galloping and to improve the design of power lines. A sophisticated mathematical model was developed using Mathcad software to analyze conductor galloping in overhead power lines. This model, based on the equations of motion, predicts various galloping parameters under different conditions such as wind speed, span length, and initial mechanical stress. Time diagrams were constructed to represent linear and torsional motions, revealing correlations between amplitudes and frequencies. A comprehensive statistical analysis was performed on wire characteristics and split phase parameters to evaluate their impact on galloping patterns. Numerical methods, including the Runge-Kutta method, were employed to solve the equations and compute time-dependent behaviors. Results were visualized through graphs and diagrams to facilitate interpretation. The results revealed that conductor galloping occurs at wind speeds between 5 to 18 m/s, with significant occurrences at temperatures from 0°C to -10°C. The study identified that conductor galloping occurs within a wind velocity range of 5 to 13 m/s, predominantly with wind orientations between 30˚ and 90˚. The analysis showed that the frequency of galloping closely matches the natural oscillation frequency at low wind speeds but diverges with increasing wind speed and span length. These findings provide insights into the conditions under which conductor galloping is likely to occur and can inform design and operational strategies for overhead power lines.

Abstract

The mixing and sludge recirculation interval is one of the key successes of the solid-state anaerobic digestion process, a promising technology for converting high-solid agro-industrial wastes to renewable energy. This study employed a pilot-scale completely stirred tank reactor to examine biogas production from sweet corn waste, including corn cobs, husks, and seeds. The reactor was operated as solid-state anaerobic digestion at an ambient temperature. The mixing and recirculating intervals were set to non-mixing and mixing for 10 minutes every 3, 6, and 12 hours. The initial total solid of the feedstock was 25%, while the hydraulic retention time was 30 days. The results showed that during the mixing and recirculation every three hours, the highest chemical oxygen demand, total solid, and volatile solid (VS) removal efficiencies were 85.42%, 62.92%, and 64.59%, respectively. The ratio between volatile fatty acid and alkalinity ranged between 0.20 and 0.30 without any sign of system failure. The highest specific methane yield of 766 L/kg VSadded was obtained in the experiment with mixing and recirculating intervals every 3 hours. It was found that the modified Gompertz model could effectively fit the methane yields with an R2 of 0.9667. The modeled methane production potential and the maximum methane production rate were 867.40 NL/kg VSadded and 132.01 NL/kg VSadded-d, respectively. Additionally, the levelized cost of the biogas produced from the solid-state anaerobic digestion of the sweet corn waste was calculated to be 0.61 USD/kg. The findings of this study can serve as a guide for the design and operation of the SS-AD system, which aims to transform various types of lignocellulosic waste into environmentally friendly energy.

Abstract

To improve the prediction accuracy of energy-saving design for homestay buildings, a multi-objective optimization model is studied. A model of multi-objective optimization algorithm for energy efficiency design of home stay buildings based on decomposition multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is proposed. Decomposition based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm is selected. To select the preliminary algorithm for achieving energy-saving design of homestay buildings, it divides the objectives into algorithm determination and model construction and uses multi-objective optimization algorithms to solve the proposed optimization model. The validation results show that the minimum discomfort time calculated using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is 555.30 and the energy consumption is 7.68, while the minimum discomfort time calculated using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm method is 896 and the energy consumption is 8.92. With alternative model, the speed of multi-objective Evolutionary algorithm is the fastest, reaching 6105.44 seconds, which is 68.80% lower than the proposed method. With the help of substitutes, the computational speed of the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm has been greatly improved. Its computational speed has reached 1217.231 seconds, while the fastest multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm among the four comparison methods is only 3868.591 seconds. Although the individual improvement is not significant, the overall optimization is still considerable and has strategic foresight in the decision-making plan of decision-makers.
