Demand-SideManagement of Solar Microgrid Operation: Effect of Time-of-Use Pricing and Incentives
(Hindawi, 2020-06-05)
Over 17% of the world’s population lack access to electricity, the majority being in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa and South
Asia. Microgrid technologies are a promising solution towards rural and remote area ...
Performance analysis of a runner for gravitational water vortex power plant
(Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2022-02-14)
Micro-hydropower can be used to meet the needs of both isolated and rural com munities for electricity. Due to its inexpensive initial investment, simple design,
easy maintenance and low-head utilisation, the gravitational ...
Sub- and Supercritical Water Gasification of Rice Husk: Parametric Optimization Using the I-Optimality Criterion.
(ACS Publications, 2021-05-18)
In this study, rice husk biomass was gasified under sub- and supercritical water conditions in an autoclave reactor. The effect of temperature (350-500 °C), residence time (30-120 min), and feed concentration (3-10 wt %) ...
Experimental Study of a Lab Scale Hybrid Fixed Bed Gasifier
(Science Publishing Group, 2020-02-04)
Thermo-chemical conversion technologies (incineration, gasification and pyrolysis) have emerged as potential technologies for municipal solid waste management (MSWM). This is happening due to the increase of the need for ...
Water Boiling Test of carbonized briquettes produced from charcoal fines using African Elemi (Canarium schweinfurthii) resin as an organic binder
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2021-10-10)
The study evaluated carbonized briquettes produced from charcoal fines using African Elemi (Canarium schweinfurthii) resin as a binder. Briquette samples (B25, B30, B35, B40) with the ratio of charcoal fines:binder of 3:1, ...
Simulation and performance analysis of municipal solid waste gasification in a novel hybrid fixed bed gasifier using Aspen plus
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2020-08-27)
Thermochemical conversion technologies (incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis) have emerged
as potential technologies for municipal solid waste management. Incineration is the most common
thermo-chemical technology ...
Production of carbonized briquettes from charcoal fines using African Elemi (Canarium Schweinfurthii) resin as an organic binder
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2021-09-25)
This study investigated the use of African Elemi (Canarium Schweinfurthii) resin as a binder for the production of carbonized briquettes from charcoal fines. The binder and charcoal fines were characterized through proximate ...
A Review on Computational Fluid Dynamics Applications in the Design and Optimization of Crossflow Hydro Turbines
(Hindawi, 2021-10-15)
In recent years, advances in using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software have greatly increased due to its great potential to
save time in the design process compared to experimental testing for data acquisition. ...
Catalytic supercritical water gasification of biomass waste using iron-doped alkaline earth catalysts
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2022-05-18)
The objective of this study is to optimise the process of supercritical water gasification of rice husk biomass utilising a low-cost catalyst made from alkaline-earth materials. The interactions between catalyst loading ...
Simulation and optimisation of the pyrolysis of rice husk: Preliminary assessment for gasification applications
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-09)
Thermochemical conversion of biomass into useful products is a promising route to harness biofuels. This process is clean, renewable and can reduce the use of fossil fuel. In this study, SuperPro Designer (SPD) software ...
