Abstract Inadequate electricity supply is a global challenge that needs solutions. This situation has compelled the purchasing of fossil fuel-generating units for use in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors to generate electricity. However, using fossil fuel generating units cause greenhouse gas e [...] 117 751 |
Local Authority Waste Management Strategies, the Circular Economy and the Generation of Energy from Waste in Englandby
Peter Jones
and
Martin Wynn
Abstract The purpose of this article is to examine the approach to waste management of local authorities in England, to investigate their strategic objectives, and to ascertain to what extent sustainability and circular economy practices are in evidence in this context. A qualitative, inductive research meth [...] 84 581 |
Wind Farm Layout Optimization Subject to Cable Cost, Hub Height, and a Feasible 3D Gaussian Wake Model ImplementationAbstract We address the Wind Farm Layout Optimization (WFLO) problem and tackle the optimal placement of several turbines within a specific (wind farm) area by incorporating additional aspects of an economically driven target function. With this, we contribute three refinements for WFLO research: First, whil [...] 109 722 |
A Review of North American Prospects for Power and Hot-Water Generation with Thermal EnergyAbstract This article outlines an innovative approach to explore thermal energy extraction for power generation or industrial hot water applications. Unlike traditional steady-state models, this approach embraces time-variant scenarios, explicitly incorporating a cyclical fluid circulation strate [...] 110 855 |
Nonlinear Optimal Control for a PMLSG-VSC Wave Energy Conversion UnitAbstract This article aims to treat the nonlinear control problem for the complex dynamics of a wave energy unit (WEC) that consists of a Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Generator (PMLSG) and a Voltage Source Converter (VSC). The article has developed a globally stable nonlinear optimal control method fo [...] 143 915 |
Floating Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converters: A Review of DevelopmentsAbstract The main challenge in designing offshore renewable energy structures is to ensure their structural integrity on a life cycle basis while operating in harsh environments and, in parallel, being financially competitive and environmentally friendly concerning other types of energy systems. The Oscillat [...] 161 1506 |
Monitoring Energy-Loss-Driven-Cost by Using Earned Value Simulation in Complex SystemsAbstract The economic impact of energy loss stemming from end-user electricity consumption is a significant concern, with historical trends revealing escalating costs. Effectively managing both peak and off-peak demands remains a formidable challenge due to the unpredictable nature of consumer behaviors, lea [...] 107 936 |
LFO Damping Enhancement in Multimachine Network Using African Vulture Optimization AlgorithmAbstract The prolonged presence of low-frequency oscillation (LFO) in power system networks (PSN) poses a significant threat to their stability. Hence, engineers and researchers have continuously developed effective strategies to mitigate the issue and enhance the stability of the PSN. This article proposes [...] 92 1033 |
Proposal for the Sustainable Electrification of a Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC) Facility in NigeriaAbstract Energy is a prerequisite to running health facilities and is, therefore, key to the success of the service. Karshi primary healthcare centre (PHC) facility is confronted with an unreliable power supply that leads to a high cost of generating power from diesel to operate its equipment. This facility [...] 165 1178 |
