Energy is one of the essential requirements of livinghood. In present scenario conventional energy resources for producing energy to sustain our lives has become a necessity. Since these sources are depleting at faster rate and cost of energy is increasing simultaneously, so conversion of renewable form of energy is much desired and solar energy is a good resource. The present work is based on ...

Careful planning of the electrical power sector is of great importance since the decisions to be taken involves the commitment of large resources, with potentially serious economic risks for the electrical utility and the economy as a whole. There are different types of techniques available for analysis and prediction of randomly varying parameters. They are classified as statistical, intellige...

This paper discusses four interrelated topics regarding energy production from photovoltaic systems and prediction of that energy production. Together these topics support high kWh/kWp performance of SunPower modules and accurate prediction of that performance across a wide range of applications. The first topic is an analysis of attributes which influence energy production from SunPower module...

The energy consumption of IT and communication infrastructure is dramatically increasing. In the year 2000 the power consumption of servers, routers, and PCs in Germany was about 5 billion kWh per year [1]. For the year 2010 a power consumption of more than 55 billion kWh per year is expected for the IT and communication infrastructure in Germany [2]. In the face of global warming the reversal ...

Renewable energy sources have become necessary for long-term sustainability due to the increased demand electric cars and worrisome rises in carbon dioxide emissions from traditional sources. Furthermore, transportation is one of sectors that uses most on planet, accounting 24% overall consumption. Fossil fuels are still dominant source balancing global demand/supply dynamics. Supporting laws r...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a promising technology for energy-efficient domestic wastewater treatment, but the effluent quality has typically not been sufficient for discharge without further treatment. A two-stage laboratory-scale combined treatment process, consisting of microbial fuel cells and an anaerobic fluidized bed membrane bioreactor (MFC-AFMBR), was examined here to produce high ...
