The world is undergoing a rapid energy transformation dominated by growing capacities of renewable sources, such as wind and solar power. intrinsic variable nature sources calls for affordable storage solutions. This paper proposes using lifts empty apartments in tall buildings to store energy. Lift Energy Storage Technology (LEST) gravitational-based solution. stored lifting wet sand container...

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have a high dependency on fossil fuels for energy, water, and food production. This has negative implications the carbon footprint resilience of SIDS. Wind power is one most promising options renewable energy in coastal areas To account seasonal intermittent nature wind ammonia can be used storage. In this paper, as an vector, examined to reduce costs islan...

In this study, removal of methylene blue by electro-coagulation method using aluminum and iron electrodes was investigated. The influence of the operating parameters such as contact time, current density, anode type, inter-electrodes distance, initial and final pH and energy consumption rate was determined. Dye removal was increased with increases in solution pH, current density and c...

As the largest carbon emission source in China, the power sector grows rapidly owing to the country’s unprecedented urbanization and industrialization processes. In order to explore a low carbon urbanization pathway by reducing carbon emissions of the power sector, the Chinese government launched an international low carbon city (ILCC) project in Shenzhen. This paper presents a feasibility anal...

The power system utility has started to think about the green power technology in order to have an eco-friendly environment. The green power technology utilizes renewable energy sources for reduction of GHG emissions. Odisha state (India) is very rich in potential of renewable energy sources especially in solar energy (about 300 solar days), for installation of grid connected photovoltaic syste...

The electricity economy and its excessive consumption have become one of the main concerns of the Iranian government for many years. This issue, along with recent droughts, shows the need to use renewable energy that is free and clean and does not require water. In addition, due to the high cost of cable-laying and maintenance of power lines, it is not at all an option at all distances over the...

The amount of wind power generation aims for three millions kWh by 2010 in Japan. It is very few offshore construction in Japan compared with European countries. It is generally said that offshore wind energy is greater than in land area, and few disturbance. In Japan, suitable construction sites for wind power generation in land are decreasing, then, the construction of wind power generation i...

Modeling of wind speed variation is an essential requirement in the estimation of the wind energy potential for a typical site. In this paper, the wind energy potential in Ibadan (Lat. 7.43N; Long. 3.9E; Alt. 227.2m) is statistically analyzed using daily wind speed data for 10 years (1995-2004) obtained from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria. The daily,...

An influence of initial nitrogen monoxide (NO) concentration on removal efficiency with a multipoint-to-plane electrode dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor was investigated experimentally. Several hundreds ppm NO was diluted with nitrogen and oxygen gas mixture (N2:O2=9:1) and was fed to the DBD reactor as a diesel exhaust simulated gas. The experimental results were evaluated using a si...

Wind power forecast is essential for a wind farm developer for comprehensive assessment of wind potential at a particular site or topographical location. Wind energy potential at any given location is a non –linear function of mean average wind speed, vertical wind profile, energy pattern factor, peak wind speed, prevailing wind direction, lull hours, air density and a few other parameters. Win...
