Abstract:

Although the thermodynamic advantages of using solar energy to replace the bled off steam in the regeneration system of Rankine cycle coal fired power stations has been proven theoretically, the practical techno/economic feasibility of the concept has yet to be confirmed relative to real power station applications. To investigate this concept further, computer modelling software THERMSOLV was specifically developed for this project at Deakin University, together with the support of the Victorian power industry and Australian Research Council (ARC). This newly developed software simulates t

Abstract:

Cooling, Heating and Power (CHP) systems have been recognized as a key alternative for thermal energy and electricity generation at or near end-user sites. CHP systems can provide electricity while recovering waste heat to be used for space and water heating, and for space cooling. Although CHP technology seems to be economically feasible, because of the constant fluctuations in energy prices, CHP systems cannot always guarantee economic savings. However, a well-designed CHP system can guarantee energy savings, which makes necessary the quantification of non-conventional benefits from this tec

Abstract:

High data rate, reliable communication, and low power consumption are the foremost demands for next generation of wireless communication systems. The key challenge to the design of communication systems is to combat the detrimental effects of channel fading, noise, and high power consumption. Wireless systems are often impaired by non-Gaussian noise, and the performance of systems designed for Gaussian noise can degrade if non-Gaussian noises are present but are not taken into account. Thus, it is imperative to analyze systems that are impaired by non-Gaussian noise and to manage their resourc

Abstract:

The Achilles heel of the heat pump technology has for long been the low efficiency occurring during domestic hot water production. The problem is the high condensation pressure needed to reach high temperatures. To produce domestic hot water, the system need to deliver a supply temperature of about 60 °C, to be compared with a supply temperature of around 30-50 °C when heat is delivered to a radiator circuit. This drawback has for long held the heat pump technology back and instead gave room for alternative technologies on the market, like district heating.The Energy Machine is a heat pump sys

Conversely, direct sunlight is immediately lost upon shading by clouds and sunset.

This indicates the need to challenge the benefits of continued fossil fuel consumption due to the growing devastation on humanity associated with accelerating global climate disruption.

The study uses the estimate of the PV potential of an area under consideration using the PVGIS online software. The study divides the total geographic area of into a grid of „mxn‟. The PVGIS evaluated the value of incident solar radiation and generated PV energy at central coordinate of each grid. The evaluation of ener

Abstract:

Harnessing Ocean Wave power is a potential source of renewable form of energy. Our project was aimed at finding the constraints and proposing a suitable solution to utilize this form of energy. Ocean Wave Power is the most predictable, periodic and concentrated source among all renewable sources, but the constraints imposed on its harnessing are a result of its Ocean environment. Ocean wave dissipates energy in several strata of circular oscillation. But with depth induced water pressure these circular oscillation are squished into ellipse that approximates to back & forth motion. Statisticall

Abstract:

We study theoretical circuit operation of zero voltage switching over the basic premise of boost converters (step-up dc chopper circuits). Zero-voltage switching technique is studied which, in contrast to zero-current switching, eliminates the switching loss and dv/dt noise due to the discharging of junction capacitances and the reverse recovery of diodes Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) including various switching techniques in resonant converters is studied. Also a working model of a Zero Voltage Switched Boost Converter is constructed in the laboratory and its working and waveforms observed.

Abstract:

The aim of the project is to use Soft Computing Techniques (SCT) in order to model the breakdown voltage of solid insulating materials. Since the breakdown voltage behaviour is non-linear, it can be best modeled using SCT such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Radial Basis Function (RBF) Network, Fuzzy Logic (FL) Techniques etc. In order to obtain the experimental data on the breakdown voltage, experiments are conducted under AC and DC conditions and then all the SCT model are applied on it. The prediction of the breakdown voltage of solid insulating materials is indeed a challenging task.

Abstract:

Vast use of fossil fuels is leading to energy deficiency. Hence the renewable energy sources like wind energy and solar energy are being used. Classical asynchronous induction generators are being used in wind energy based power generation system. In markets of micro electric energy generation unit system, induction generators are getting popularized, as it is cheap, robust and maintenance free. But generally induction machines are used as motor, hence the catalogues have only information about motoring mode. This report gives a comparative analysis between motoring and generating mode of indu
