In this study, tin antimony sulfide (SnSb2S5) thin films with 200 nm, 312 nm, and 431 nm thicknesses were successfully fabricated using thermal evaporation. These films' structural, optical, and photoanode properties were meticulously characterized to assess their suitability for photovoltaic applications. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the presence of an orthorhombic symmetry phase within the Pnma space group, ensuring the crystalline quality of the films. Raman spectroscopy further validated the cryst [...]

Increasing local energy access in developing countries, particularly in off-grid regions where mini-grids are often overloaded, remains a critically underexplored area in energy transition. These regions often face significant technical and economic challenges, such as low generation capacity, high energy costs, limited energy access, and heavy reliance on diesel fuels. This study explores capacity expansion by integrating small-scale geothermal energy into such a mini-grid system to enhance the local energy supply [...]

This research introduces a blockchain framework to improve security and transparency for the use of renewable energy in power systems. The framework utilizes a permissioned blockchain architecture and IoT-based real-time monitoring to ensure data integrity and confidentiality and support efficient peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading. Compared with traditional centralized energy management systems, the proposed design increases transaction security by 35%, decreases verification wait times by 28%, and decreases the ri [...]

Taiwan relies heavily on imported fossil fuels, with over 98% of its energy demand supplied by foreign sources, posing significant challenges to national energy security. To explore alternatives, this study investigates the potential of marine renewable energy by developing a 20 kW floating hydrokinetic turbine prototype designed for deployment in the Kuroshio Current. The research encompasses system design, model validation, and both tank and at-sea testing to evaluate hydrodynamic performance and power generation [...]

As the demand for cleaner-greener energy surges owing to more nations adopting Net Zero Emission by 2050, wind turbine (WT) technology is increasingly poised as one of the technologies to match the demand. Capacity building in the development of cost-effective WT tower with improved reliability and safety has become critical to delivering Net Zero mandate. This research demonstrates implementation of Taguchi Design of Experiment (DoE) in conjunction with Signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) to optimise both structural desig [...]

The effective neutron multiplication factor (keff) of a fissile system is a function of space and time f(x, y, z, t), where (x, y, z) are the coordinates of the reference point in space, and t is time. The evidence of the time-dependence of the neutron multiplication factor of a fissile system was published in 2017. The spatial dependence is as important as the time dependence, as interacting arrays of fissile material during storage can lead to an increase in the system (keff). Therefore, evaluation of how the sto [...]
