Powering an island system by renewable energy—A feasibility analysis in the Maldives

In this study we have designed and fabricated a household solar water desalination unit for the arid regions of rural areas of Sindh like Tharparkar district. Drought conditions, shortage of drinking water and relying on saline water in arid regions of Sindh is a serious problem. In areas under these tracts, it is difficult to obtain drinkable water. This study focuses on the development of a cost effective and affordable desalination unit having simple construction, easy to use, repair, maintain and can be operated by an unskilled man. The solar desalination unit comprises of a solar oven, condenser, and collector pot. In this research various water samples were collected from three arid regions of Tharparkar district i.e., Islamkot, Diplo and Mithi. The performance of solar water desalination unit was assessed by analysing the Total Dissolve Solids (TDS), pH and Electrical Conductivity (EC) of all samples. The sample collected, before treatment had maximum TDS, conductivity, and pH values as 10421 mg/L, 20842 μS/cm and 8 respectively. Those sample after treatment reduced to TDS of 230 mg/L, conductivity of 460 μS/cm and pH of 7.4. This portable solar desalination unit showed remarkable results and found as effective in the removal of TDS from all water samples. The efficiency of unit was calculated as 35.2% with maximum daily output of 5 litres. This unit was constructed at very low cost of PAKPKR 4500/- and its complete rely on solar energy which makes it quite affordable for those which cannot afford expensive treatment techniques. This unit has very minimal maintenance cost and does not require electricity. The values for pH, TDS, and EC achieved from this unit are satisfying the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for drinking water quality.

Estimating the EROI of whole systems for 100% renewable electricity supply capable of dealing with intermittency

Base station sites (BSSs) powered with renewable energy sources have gained the attention of cellular operators during the last few years. This is because such “green” BSSs impose significant reductions in the operational expenditures (OPEX) of telecom operators due to the possibility of on-site renewable energy harvesting. In this paper, the green BSSs power supply system parameters detected through remote and centralized real time sensing are presented. An implemented sensing system based on a wireless sensor network enables reliable collection and post-processing analyses of many parameters, such as: total charging/discharging current of power supply system, battery voltage and temperature, wind speed, etc. As an example, yearly sensing results for three different BSS configurations powered by solar and/or wind energy are discussed in terms of renewable energy supply (RES) system performance. In the case of powering those BSS with standalone systems based on a fuel generator, the fuel consumption models expressing interdependence among the generator load and fuel consumption are proposed. This has allowed energy-efficiency comparison of the fuel powered and RES systems, which is presented in terms of the OPEX and carbon dioxide (CO2) reductions. Additionally, approaches based on different BSS air-conditioning systems and the on/off regulation of a daily fuel generator activity are proposed and validated in terms of energy and capital expenditure (CAPEX) savings.

As part of carbon neutralization policies to cope with global warming, policies and legislation are being prepared to make renewable energy (solar, geothermal, biomass, etc.) the main sources of power instead of fossil energy. Korea is Act On The Promotion Of The Development, Use And Diffusion Of New And Renewable Energy of 2020 renewable energy policy and carry out. This Act establishes a basic plan for new and renewable energy and implements new and renewable energy policies. Currently, the 5th Basic Plan for Renewable Energy (2020-2034) is being implemented. According to the 5th Basic Plan for Renewable Energy (2020-2034), the goal is to increase the proportion of renewable energy generation to 25.8% by 2034. However, in order to effectively increase the proportion of new and renewable energy generation aimed at this plan, it is necessary to prepare a legal system that can effectively produce and distribute power of new and renewable energy and supply it stably to the people. In other words, it is necessary to establish a new and renewable energy power distribution and supply legal system. In this context, this paper consider to Japanese renewable energy power distribution and supply legal system in a comparative study so that Korean renewable energy power distribution and supply legal system can function as an act that can stably distribute and supply renewable energy. The reason why Japan to compare the legal system, Japanese entire power supply and distribution of new and renewable energy by 2030 to increase by 36 to 38 percent because legislation to encourage active. To understand to Japanese new and renewable energy power distribution and supply, it is necessary to overall the legal system on power distribution and supply in Japan. In addition, based on the discussion on Japanese power distribution and supply legal system, the new and renewable energy power distribution and supply legal system is considered. Finally, the writter suggests solution to improve Korean new and renewable energy distribution and supply legal system based upon Japanese new and renewable energy distribution and supply legal system. In this way, by setting the direction of improvement of Korean legal system compared to Japanese legal system, it can be expected to function as a renewable energy legislation that can stably supply power to the public despite rapid power price fluctuations or crises.

A multi-period MILP model for the investment and design planning of a national-level complex renewable energy supply system

The first purpose of this paper is to describe ACES technologies and their potential impact on the environment, the US energy supply system and economy. The second purpose is to recommend an R,D&D program to the US Department of Energy which has as its goal the rapid development of the most promising of the new technologies. ACES supply thermal energy to groups of buildings, communities and cities in the form of hot or chilled water for building space heating, domestic hot water or air conditioning. The energy is supplied via a network of insulated, underground pipes linking central sources of supply with buildings. ACES, by definition, employ very high energy efficiency conversion technologies such as cogeneration, heat pumps, and heat activated chillers. These systems also use renewable energy sources such as solar energy, winter cold, wind, and surface and subsurface warm and cold waters. ACES compose a new generation of community-scale building heating and air conditioning supply technologies. These new systems can effect a rapid and economical conversion of existing cities to energy supply by very efficient energy conversion systems and renewable energy systems. ACES technologies are the most promising near term means by which cities can make the transition from our present damaging dependence on fossil fuel supply systems to an economically and environmentally sustainable reliance on very high efficiency and renewable energy supply systems. When fully developed to serve an urban area, ACES will constitute a new utility system which can attain a level of energy efficiency, economy and reliance on renewable energy sources not possible with currently available energy supply systems.

Case Study Feasibility Analysis of Renewable Energy Supply Systems in a Small Grid Connected Resort By Jody Robins Dr. Robert Woods, Committee Chair Professor of Hotel Management University of Nevada, Las Vegas This paper presents a case study on the feasibility of a small grid connected resort in the marine west coast climate of Canada to implement a renewable energy supply system. The current industry conditions of three renewable energy systems are explored including small and large wind energy conversion systems, solar photovoltaic cell systems, and energy cell systems. Furthermore, these three systems are evaluated using the power load, wind, and solar radiation information from a specific resort. The renewable energy source assessment and optimization software HOMER (National Renewable Energy Laboratory, US) is used to evaluate the costs and benefits of each system. The software evaluates the payback period, the net present cost, and renewable factor of new systems to find the optimal system for the resort. The findings in the case study result in recommendations for the specific resort being tested as well as general recommendations for any small resort interested in implementing a renewable energy system. Furthermore, this paper will help guide small resort owners in simulating and testing, using the HOMER software, renewable energy systems specific to the needs of their resort.
