Growing Pains: Current Disadvantages of Renewable Energy
As renewable energy projects continue to be a growing piece of global energy production, it is easy to assume that they will automatically have less of an impact on the environment and people than conventional fossil fuels. Renewable energy is an appealing way to avoid carbon emissions, use fewer resources and provide energy security and jobs. But it is not perfect, and despite the many positives ...

Opportunities and obstacles: integrating energy efficiency into the transmission and distribution planning process
This paper seeks to highlight issues that warrant further evaluation associated with more precisely incorporating energy efficiency (EE) into a utility's system wide transmission and distribution (T&D) plan from a financial and load forecasting perspective while accounting for system reliability and ratepayer concerns. This paper also analyses how EE is integrated into grid operators' ...

Sure Green Island, Palawan, Phillipines - Case Study
Our PP20 Power Pallet was Installed in Green Island, a small village island located about 14 kilometers off the coast of Roxas, Palawan, in the Philippines. The project is being developed by Solutions Using Renewable Energy (SURE) who are building a microgrid system tying a 2.5 kW solar array and a 5 kW wind turbine to our 20 kW Power Pallet. This grid is supplying power not only provide light ...

Water Line Project - Holloway Bar Placer Mine (archived)
One of the biggest problems with living in a remote area is access to facilities that we take for granted. If you want to watch TV, you need both a satellite dish and power to run the dish and TV. If you want to have a shower, you'll need some way to pump the water as well as heat it. If you want to cook some ham and eggs, you'll need to find a way to keep the food cool, or it'll turn into Dr. ...

Energy use efficiency of on-farm- and post-pineapples production in Nigeria
The energy use and energy use efficiency in a group of pineapples plantations of a research institute in Nigeria was estimated. Total energy expenditure was 6,117.81 MJha –1 and energy output was 21,760 MJ/ha. The output/input energy ratio was 3.56. The different categories of energy input estimated are: direct energy (51.21%), indirect energy (48.79%), renewable energy (14.08%) and ...

An experimental investigation of hydrogen-enriched unmodified DI diesel engine in dual fuel mode
In recent years, the concern for cleaner air, along with strict air pollution regulation and the desire to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels have rekindled the interest in hydrogen as a vehicular fuel. Internal combustion engines continue to dominate in many fields like transportation, agriculture and power generation. Diesel engines are the most trusted power sources in the transportation ...

Sustainable development with renewable energy resources: a review
The most visible effects of the sustainable development movement are found in several global issues such as the greenhouse effect, stratospheric ozone depletion, and loss of biodiversity. Combustion of fossil fuels and global warming are closely associated with each other. There is an urgent need to replace fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Renewable energy is one of the few means by ...

Generation using gas-fuelled engines in South Africa – an overview
Most gas engines are Otto cycle spark ignition internal combustion reciprocating engines using natural gas as the primary fuel. Smaller models utilise stochiometric combustion while the larger engines are lean burn engines with pre-chamber ignition systems. The engines are coupled with packaged generator sets, cogeneration and, even, trigeneration units to optimise energy utilisation in the fuel ...

Chelinda Lodge, Nyika Plateau, Malawi, East Africa - Case Study
Located in the middle of the Malawi’s Nyika National Park at an altitude of over 7500 feet on the Nyika Plateau, the Chelinda Lodge is a remote eco and game resort. Serviced only by aircraft and almost 50 miles of tortuous backroads. This elevates the cost of diesel to power their generators resulting in electricity costs of over $.50 cents USD per kilowatt hour, and promising to do nothing ...

Optimal location of DG for maintaining distribution system stability: a hybrid technique
To enhance the distribution power quality and maintains the voltage stability is a challenging tasks in the complex distribution network. This can be achieved through the distributed generation (DG). In this paper, a hybrid technique has been proposed which improves the distribution stability by allocating the DG at the optimal place. This technique uses the artificial neural network (ANN) and ...

Mission Goundi, Republic of Chad, Central Africa - Case Study
Installed for testing at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain, this PP20 is destined to be transported to the village of Goundi, Chad in Central Africa. The project is being done through the University, also known as Barcelona Tech, with support from Misión y Desarrollo para Goundi, a Chad based NGO. One of the reasons they chose to develop a biomass-based power ...

Optimal allocation and sizing of DG and shunt capacitors using differential evolutionary algorithm
In the last few years, a number of factors have led to an increased interest in distributed generation (DG) scheme because placement of DG is the most effective method in reducing the power loss of the distribution networks to serve remote loads. Placement of shunt capacitors improves voltage profile but unable to serve remote load as it can provide only reactive power. So, combination of both ...

BYD F3CNG details Highlights resolve
BYD oil and gas of hybrid F3CNG models of oil and gas mixed three-box sedan design concepts borrowed from the Japanese, Korean automakers successful development experience and mode. The design concept of the "mm" (ie able to enjoy the interior space to maximize, car machine must occupy a minimum of space). The biggest bright spot of this model is the use of dual-fuel system can be dramatic ...

CSP Thermal Energy Storage vital for utilities and grid operators
The modern age of CSP can arguably be traced back to the 354MW Solar Energy Generating Systems (SEGS) in the Mojave desert, which now make up the oldest operating plant in the world, as well as one of the largest. However, recent developments in the industry will see SEGS eclipsed by 5 projects that are scheduled to come online in 2013-14, with a combined total of 1312MW. The five plants in ...
