Clustering and Fuzzy Logic-Based Demand-Side Management for Solar Microgrid Operation: Case Study of Ngurudoto Microgrid, Arusha, Tanzania
(Hindawi, 2021-02-15)
Permanent electricity availability should not be taken for granted since grid sustainability and reliability are at stake when there is no balance between supply and demand. This paper employs a load balancing demand-side ...
Catalytic tar conversion and the prospective use of iron-based catalyst in the future development of biomass gasification: a review
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2020-06-27)
Biomass is a promising renewable energy source which is available globally, mostly in developing countries where access to clean and affordable energy is a critical problem. Biomass gasification is an interesting technology ...
Catalytic hydrothermal liquefaction of orange peels into biocrude: An optimization approach by Central Composite Design
(Elsevier B.V., 2023-06-01)
Global instability, persistent increase in pump-price, inflation and depletion of fossil fuel resources amidst the continuous discharge of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels combustion call for urgent attention. The ...
Propane (HC – 290) as an Alternative Refrigerant in the Food Transport Refrigeration Sector in Southern Africa – a Review
(Universitas Muhammadiyah, 2022)
Most of the food transport trucks in Sothern Africa are equipped with refrigeration and air
conditioning systems filled with fluorocarbon refrigerants such as R404A to facilitate the heat
transfer process. These refrigerants ...
The Potential of Underutilized Plant Resources and Agricultural Wastes for Enhancing Biodiesel Stability: The Role of Phenolic- Rich Natural Antioxidants
(Hindawi, 2023)
Growing concerns about energy security and environmental sustainability have fueled demand for sustainable and renewable energy sources in recent years. Biodiesel, a renewable alternative to conventional fuels, has gained ...
Characteristics of briquettes from plastic pyrolysis by-products
(MESI, 2023)
Pyrolysis has been proven as a method to reduce plastic waste and produce useful products,
especially liquid fuels. However, plastic pyrolysis also produces gases and char as by-products
which are being investigated for ...

(Elsevier, 2023)
Global instability, persistent increase in pump-price, inflation and depletion of fossil fuel resources amidst the continuous discharge of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels combustion call for urgent attention. The ...
Viability of non-edible oilseed plants and agricultural wastes as feedstock for biofuels production: A techno-economic review from an African perspective
(Biofpr, 2023)
Given the benefits of biofuels over conventional fuels, there is concern that widespread production of biofuels from edible feedstocks to meet demand will lead to food insecurity and other socioeconomic challenges. Thus, ...
Recent advances in thermochemical conversion of biomass into drop-in fuel:a review
(Elsevier, 2022)
The global evolutional changes towards the use of renewable energy sources for trans-
portation purposes are on the increase in an attempt to mitigate the environmental haz-
ard and the proposed depletion associated with ...
Experimental Investigation of Soapstone and Granite Rocks as Energy-Storage Materials for Concentrated Solar Power Generation and Solar Drying Technology
(ACS Omega, 2023)
The intermittence of solar energy resource in concentrated solar power (CSP) generation and solar drying applications can be mitigated by employing thermal energy storage materials. Natural rocks are well recommended thermal ...
