Electric vehicles are now recognized as a crucial answer in the worldwide effort to achieve sustainable and environment-friendly transportation. As the automotive industry moves towards using electric power, it is crucial to assess and improve the powertrain configurations in electric vehicles. This study aims to meet this need by conducting an in-depth comparative analysis of single, double, a...

Climate and solar radiation levels are two major environmental elements that affect the operation of photovoltaic (PV) pumping systems. Rising temperatures cause a decrease in PV modules' electrical efficiency because of the fall of fill factor and open-circuit voltage. They may also cause a decrease in motor efficiency because of the growing winding resistance losses. Besides, the increased ph...

This study presents a pioneering analysis of the network properties within the Mexican power grid (MXPG). The study included the 400 kV and 230 kV grids. Both grids were analysed independently and as a single combined grid. Based on complex network theory, several topological metrics were calculated, and the vulnerability of the power grid to random failures and intentional attacks was investig...

Bioethanol is a renewable energy that is gaining popularity globally. It’s biochemical production requires the use of enzyme, especially cellulase. Cellulase is an enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of cellulose and related polysaccharides which finds applications in food, textiles, detergents, biofuels etc. However, the worldwide use of cellulase is limited by its relatively high production...

To play a full role in decarbonisation, hydrogen must be produced economically at scale; the role of nuclear power is interesting to national governments as it is capable of supplying both low-carbon electricity and high-quality heat. Depending on the hydrogen production technology choice, a plant may require electricity and/or heat input. This techno-economic evaluation considers not only the ...

The electricity utility industry is undergoing rapid and irreversible changes resulting from volatile fuel costs, transmission access, less predictable load growth and a more complex regulatory environment. Due to the rising importance of renewable (and variable) energy sources, power systems are now more vulnerable to uncertainties and intermittent in supply. Hydropower plays an important role...

Community solar is a concept where a large number of entities (consumers, businesses, charitable foundations, investors, etc.) can participate with or without having 100% ownership of the solar hardware. The objective of this paper is to provide an in-depth review of community solar. Although we have kept the global picture in mind, the United States has been our focus. The authors have provide...

CaSrFe_0.75Co_0.75Mn_0.5O_6-δ, an oxygen-deficient perovskite, had been reported for its better electrocatalytic properties of oxygen evolution reaction. It is essential to investigate different properties such as the thermal conductivity of such efficient functional materials. The thermal conductivity of CaSrFe_0.75Co_0.75Mn_0.5

The escalating demand for solar thermal energy, coupled with the current inefficiencies in existing systems, underscores the critical need for innovative advancements in thermal storage solar collectors. The efficiency of solar collectors relies not solely on design effectiveness but also on the thermophysical properties, such as heat capacity and thermal conductivity, inherent in the working f...

Cavitation wear and hydraulic efficiency decrease in hydroelectric power plants have frequently been the subject of various research and studies. A hydroelectric power plant built on the Kızılırmak River in Türkiye started operating in 1960 and has not been subjected to any large-scale rehabilitation work other than general maintenance until today. The power plant has 4 Francis-type turbines, e...

Consistent probing into building integrity has led to the exploration of clean energy options such as building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV). BIPV has proven to be aesthetically pleasing, architecturally feasible, and capable of making buildings energy producers instead of mere energy consumers. Despite the enormous benefits of BIPV, its adoption and diffusion have been relatively sluggish and...

This study presents an innovative approach to enhancing thermal management in satellite applications by utilizing an embedded aluminum-ammonia heat pipes honeycomb sandwich panel (HPA-PNL) as a high-performance heat sink. The study focuses on developing and evaluating this advanced heat sink technology, addressing the challenges associated with assessing its performance and suitability for sate...
