Abstract:
Rapid consumption of renewable energy resources has led to development of an alternative source of energy. Fuel cell technology is a reliable and sustainable source of energy which was developed. Microbial fuel cell is a type which uses active micro-organisms as catalysts for production of electricity. The micro-organisms degrade the organic substrate to release protons and electrons which generate a potential difference across the cell. Our study focused on the generation of electricity from human urine using microbial fuel cell system. Specific bacteria were used as inoculum at anaerobic anode chamber and salt solution was supplied at aerobic cathode. The chambers were connected using salt bridge which would facilitate ion transfer. This made the system cost effective. The potential difference generated was measured using digital multi-meter.

Abstract:
A deterministic quantitative model has been developed to compare the technical, economical and environmental feature of various electric power generating plants. The model, which is based on matrix operations, is used in evaluating the various aspects of energy sources available for electricity generation systems in a developing country. Several energy sources which could be considered for production of electricity to meet current and future electricity demands have been chosen. These will include fossil fuel fired, nuclear, and natural-renewable energy power plants. And, a set of criteria for optimized selection includes five area of concerns: energy economy, energy security, environmental protection, socio-economic development and technological aspects for the electric power generations. The model developed in this study is applied to the Indonesian’s electric power sector development. Most of the data required are obtained from various sources related to power industry in Indonesia, such as the electricity generating authority of Indonesia (Perusahaan Listrik Negara, PLN), Government of Indonesia, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, United Nations, and other sources, both in published and public domains. The result of this study will be a ranking of energy sources for Indonesia power generation systems based on the Euclidean composite distance of each alternative to the designated optimal source of energy.

Abstract:
The purpose of this Paper is to assess and select the preferable and optimum biomass energy source using Analytic Network Process (ANP) for making an efficient Policy in Iran electricity generation industry. There are four major biomass energy sources in Iran comprising agriculture and forest wastes, biodegradable municipal waste, animal manure, and Municipal and industrial wastewater. In this paper, we assess and compare these resources, systematically, based on different Criteria and Sub-criteria derived from literatures and expert’s views to choose the most preferable biomass source for producing required fuel for power plants. The required data will be gathered from experienced experts in Iran Renewable Energy Organization (SUNA). Results show that the criterion “economic and legal factors” has the highest importance (weight) among other identified criteria used in biomass source assessment. In addition, “biodegradable municipal waste” recognized as the most preferable biomass energy source for generating electricity in Iran power plants.

Abstract:
Electric energy has become a basic and essential thing in human life. The electricity is not only utilized for entertainment, it also helpful in powering many devices utilized in medicine, emergency and assisting. Generation of electric power is not a simple task in any medium. There are several medium of power generation is possible in the present scenario. At present, renewable source of energy generation has become popular because of its atmosphere friendly nature and reduced cost of installation for generating station. Hydro power generation is one among such method of power generation produces electricity by means of rotating a turbine blades with running water. The traditional hydro power plants were made to produce electric energy from the river water movement and falls water movement. The proposed MPH (Multiple Pico Hydro) power generation scheme is developed to make power generation from the domestic running water flowing in the pipeline of a home or apartment. The produced power is stored to a battery source and inverted in to an alternating current supply for powering the home. To make an efficient model the pico power generators are fixed to multiple pipelines. The performance of the proposed model is analyzed and it can be connected to another renewable energy sources for making a hybrid structure of power generation.

Abstract:
Ghana thought of nuclear energy early in the 1960s but has not been able to realize this dream of generating electricity from nuclear power. Ghana’s electricity generation dates back to the Gold Coast era where the main source of electricity supply (isolated diesel generators) was owned by industrial establishments, municipalities, and other institutions. The electricity sector has developed over the years and has diversified its power generation development to take advantage of available and sustainable sources of energy, mainly hydro, natural gas, liquefied petroleum products, and renewables. These sources sought to increase the electricity production capacity in the country, but unfortunately, it has not been able to catch up with the rate of economic growth, urbanization, industrialization, and rural electrification projects. This has led to Ghana’s persistent energy crisis, with inadequate and unpredictable power supply coupled with erratic and prolonged cuts of electricity to homes, industries, and businesses which is now colloquially referred to in the local parlance as “dumsor.” The Government of Ghana and key stakeholders have therefore decided to add nuclear energy to the energy mix of the country to complement the country’s two main energy sources being hydro and thermal electricity. The details of the developments in the electricity sector leading to the choice of nuclear energy as the best solution for Ghana have been outlined.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on state intervention in the pricing of electricity from renewable power sources in the Czech Republic when compared with the pricing in the Slovak Republic, Germany, France and Italy. In these countries the state intervention is implemented in different forms, but the critical part of the price is regulated everywhere by the state. The price of electricity is determined by its production costs, which depend on the source from which electricity is produced. The highest cost of electricity is required to generate renewable energy, particularly solar power, while the lowest costs of power are associated with its production by coal-fired and natural gas-fired thermal power plants. However, hydroelectric power plants attain clearly the lowest cost for generating electricity. State intervention includes supporting power generation from renewable power sources by guaranteeing purchase prices.

Abstract:
The increased use of renewable energy is imperative as a countermeasure to climate change. As with conventional electricity generation technologies, public acceptance of renewables is an important issue, and willingness to pay (WTP) is a widely used indicator to assess such public attitudes. Unfortunately, the literature to date mostly covers developed countries, with few WTP surveys in developing countries. Tackling climate change is an urgent issue for these developing countries; therefore, understanding of public attitudes toward renewables in developing countries is crucial. This study conducted the first survey on WTP for introducing renewable energy in Myanmar. Although Myanmar boasts abundant renewable energy resources, including solar power and biomass in addition to large-scale hydro plants, its resources are not being properly utilized to generate electricity. This study surveyed WTP for power generation by solar photovoltaics, small hydropower, and biomass facilities. The results showed the highest WTP for solar power (USD 1.92) with 10% share in the energy mix, and lower WTP for biomass and small hydropower electricity generations (USD 1.13 and USD 1.17, respectively). Careful public communication is thus crucial for expanding biomass and small-scale hydro power plants.

The present study is basically on electricity generation in which solar cell or module is used to power an inverter. This can also be called photovoltaic system, because it consists of solar modules, solar charge controller, 24V.d.c battery and an inverter. Solar modules serve as source of charger through solar charge controller to the battery and inverter are used in converting the direct current into an alternating current for the domestic appliance. This study is very useful in electricity generation especially in a developing country such as Nigeria where there is epileptic power supply. It-’s use is far better than generating set because it needs less maintenance, it does not use fuel, it is not heavy, it is rugged, it does not need an alternating current for its charging and it is noiseless.

Full text
Abstract:
Cyprus is an island in the Mediterranean Sea. It has an isolated electricity grid and energy system which is fully reliant on imported fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels for electricity generation has a negative impact on the environment due to the greenhouse gas emissions and importing the fuels places a huge burden on the economy of the country and a risk in terms of the electricity supply security of the island. One way to reduce dependency on imported fuels is to implement renewable energy solutions in the island. There are many studies assessing the availability of renewable energy sources, evaluating future electricity demand and investigating methods of demand reduction in Cyprus but there are a very limited number of studies specifically produced for Cyprus that address the integration and cost of renewable energy sources and explore their effects on the grid system. This thesis illustrates the big picture of Cyprus in terms of availability of exploitable renewable energy sources, current electricity generation and electricity demand characteristics. In order to address the grid code barrier, the grid codes of developed European countries are investigated. From this research, amendments to the current grid are produced. These additional mandatory codes will form the infrastructure for renewable energy projects and bring knowledge to the current system operator from other experienced countries. In addition renewable energy technologies worldwide are investigated in terms of output capacity, energy pricing, investment, and operation costs. Pricing and cost information is applied to the case of Cyprus. By further optimizing the technologies appropriately to Cyprus conditions, current and future cost analysis is produced. By producing reliable data on the cost and performance of renewable energy technologies the significant barrier to the uptake of these technologies is lowered. This will enable governments and financial bodies to arrive at an accurate assessment of which renewable energy technologies are the most appropriate for their particular circumstances.

Abstract:
The electricity system is particularly susceptible to climate change due to the close interconnectedness between not only electricity production and consumption to climate, but also the interdependence of many European countries in terms of electricity imports and exports. This study provides a country based relative analysis of a number of selected European countries’ electricity system vulnerability to climate change. Taking into account a number of quantitative influencing factors, the vulnerability of each country is examined both for the current system and using some projected data. Ultimately the result of the analysis is a relative ranked vulnerability index based on a number of qualitative indicators. Overall, countries that either cannot currently meet their own electricity consumption demand with inland production (Luxembourg), or countries that experience and will experience the warmest national mean temperatures, and are expected to see increases in their summer electricity consumption are found to be the most vulnerable for example Greece and Italy. Countries such as the Czech Republic, France and Norway that consistently export surplus electricity and will experience decreases in winter electricity consumption peaks were found to be the least vulnerable to climate change. The inclusion of some qualitative factors however may subject their future vulnerability to increase. The findings of this study enable countries to identify the main factors that increase their electricity system vulnerability and proceed with adaptation measures that are the most eective in decreasing vulnerability.

Abstract:
This dissertation presents the feasibility study for integration of microgeneration of electricity with photovoltaic power in telecommunications stations. From the Resolution 482/2012 of ANEEL, April 2012, microgeneration (installed capacity equal to or less than 100 kW) began to have the capacity considered in the reckoning power of the Brazilian electric system. As the Brazilian telecommunications system is present in all locations with more than 100 residents there is the possibility of creating a network of distributed micro generation, using the similarities between these two systems, telecommunications and power generation using photovoltaic source. For this, there is a need to analyze the generation capacity in contrast to the electricity consumption of the telecommunications stations. After, was carried out the application of concepts of Economic Engineering and Simplex Method of Linear Programming to evaluate the proposed system on the financial feasibility, considering the energy saving and some scenarios sale of energy used for the distribution system of electric power of the local concessionaire. From these analyzes was made possible to verify that the system proved to be attractive both for its assessment of Engineering Economy, as the Simplex Method, proving that its application can bring benefits to telecommunications companies and distribution network that will have less load to cater. However, the sale of energy from microgeneration this may decrease the reliability of the telecommunications system and therefore is not recommended.<br>Esta dissertação apresenta o estudo de viabilidade para inserção de microgeração de energia elétrica com fonte fotovoltaica nas estações de telecomunicações. A partir da Resolução 482/2012 da Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL), de abril de 2012, a microgeração (até 100 kW de potência instalada) passou a ter sua capacidade considerada no cômputo de energia do sistema elétrico brasileiro. Como o sistema brasileiro de telecomunicações está presente em todas as localidades com mais de 100 habitantes há a possibilidade de criar uma rede de microgeração distribuída, utilizando as similaridades entre esses dois sistemas: telecomunicações e geração de energia com fonte fotovoltaica. Para isso, verificou-se a necessidade de analisar a capacidade de geração em contrapartida com o consumo de energia elétrica das estações de telecomunicações. Após, realizou-se a aplicação de conceitos da Engenharia Econômica e o Método Simplex da Programação Linear para avaliar o sistema proposto quanto à viabilidade financeira, considerando a economia de energia e alguns cenários de venda desta energia produzida para o sistema de distribuição de energia elétrica da concessionária local. A partir destas análises efetuadas foi possível verificar que o sistema mostrou-se atrativo, tanto pela avaliação da Engenharia Econômica, quanto pelo Método Simplex, comprovando que sua aplicação pode trazer benefícios às empresas de telecomunicações e à rede de distribuição de Baixa Tensão que terá menos carga para atender. No entanto, a venda de energia a partir desta microgeração pode diminuir a confiabilidade do sistema de telecomunicações e, portanto, não é recomendada.

Abstract:
The problem addressed in this thesis is the medium-term generation planning over a yearly horizon of a generation company participating in a liberalized electricity market with pool auction of generation and consumption and with bilateral contracts between generation companies and distributions companies or big consumers. It is assumed that the generation portfolio of several generation companies includes a significant proportion of dispatchable renewables (hydro generation with storage reservoirs and pumping schemes) and non-dispatchable renewables as wind power and solar photovoltaic generation. It is also assumed than more than one generation company are able to influence market-price levels through their bidding in the auction so that the market could be oligopolistic. The results obtained are of interest to price-maker generation companies, but also to price-taker generators, and to the market operator to check whether the participants in the market behave as a cartel or seeking an equilibrium. The stochasticity of parameters in the medium-term planning is modeled in two ways. Regarding consumers load and generation unit outages, through the use of the probabilistic method of load matching: by representing the load through predicted load-duration curves of each period into which the yearly horizon is subdivided, by considering the capacity and an outage probability of each generation unit and by using the existing convolution techniques and the linear-inequality load-matching constraints. Regarding renewable energy sources, stochastic programming is used. Hydro-generation scenarios of inflows are developed for each period. As for non-dispatchable renewables (wind power and solar photo-voltaic generation), a novel model of representing them through two pseudo-units: one base unit with small outage probability and a crest unit with large outage probability is proposed, and scenarios are developed for the relevant parameters of the pseudo-units. The solar photo-voltaic generation model requires splitting each period into three subperiods with the dark hours, with the medium-light hours and with the bright hours. Quasi-Monte Carlo techniques have been employed to create a large scenario fan later reduced to a scenario tree with a reduced number of scenarios. Market prices are taken into account through an endogenous linear market-price function of load duration whose intercept depends on total hydro generation level and on wind power and solar photovoltaic level in each node of the scenario tree. With such market price function, the endogenous cartel solution and the equilibrium solutions to the medium-term planning can be obtained. To avoid having to consider the total exponential number of load-matching constraints, a load matching heuristic has been employed where small batches of new load matching constraints are generated after successive optimizations considering only the generated load matching constraints. For equilibrium solutions, the Nikaido-Isoda relaxation algorithm of successive solutions is employed using the successive optimizations of the load-matching heuristic. In mixed-market systems with auction and bilateral contracts, a time-share hypothesis is formulated and the profits function for generation companies with the generation left after honoring their bilateral contracts is formulated. The profit function obtained is non-convex, and a direct global optimization solver was tried, but proved not to be practical for the size of problem to be solved. A non-linear interior-point constrained optimization solver, also employed for problems in pure pool markets, was tried with several special techniques to circumvent the troubles caused by the non-convexity of the objective function and satisfactory results were obtained. A novel model of multi-period medium-term pumping was presented and employed. Results for several realistic test cases having different generation settings have been presented and analyzed.<br>El problema adreçat en aquesta tesi és el de la planificació a mig termini de la generació elèctrica d'una companyia que participa dins d'un mercat elèctric. S'ha assumit que aquestes companyies generadores disposen d'una proporció significant d'energies renovables despatxables (com la generació hidràulica amb embassaments d'emmagatzematge i sistemes de bombeig) i d'energies renovables no-despatxables tals com l'energia eòlica i la generació d'energia solar fotovoltaica. També s’ha tingut en compte que més d'una companyia generadora és capaç d'influir en els nivells de preu de mercat a través de les seves ofertes dins de la subhasta tractant-se, doncs, d'un mercat oligopolístic. Els resultats obtinguts són interessants per a companyies generadores del tipus 'price-maker', però alhora també ho són per companyies 'price-taker' i, finalment, també ho són per a l'operador del mercat per tal de comprovar si els participants en el mercat es comporten com si hi hagués 'cartel' o si bé busquen l'equilibri. L'estocasticitat de la càrrega i les panes de les unitats de generació dins de la planificació a mig termini es modela mitjançant l'ús del mètode probabilístic de recobriment de la càrrega: tot representant la càrrega a través de corbes predites de durada de la càrrega per a cada període tractat, utilitzant tècniques existents de convolucions i les anomenades constriccions de recobriment de la càrrega que són de desigualtat i lineals. Pel que fa a les energies renovables s'ha emprat programació estocàstica. Per a cada període s'han desenvolupat escenaris d'hidràulica per a les aportacions naturals d'aigua. Pel que fa a les renovables no-despatxables (eòlica i solar), es presenta un nou model per a representar-les a través de dues pseudo-unitats: una unitat de base amb una probabilitat de pana molt petita i una unitat de cresta amb una probabilitat de pana gran. La generació solar requereix un model més complex ja que s'han dividit les hores solars en tres subperíodes: sense sol, sol mig i sol. També s'han creat escenaris per als paràmetres més rellevants d'aquestes pseudo-unitats. S'han emprat mètodes de Quasi-Monte Carlo per a crear un gran arbre d'escenaris de tipus FAN que, posteriorment, s'ha reduït a un arbre d'escenaris d'una determinada mida. La funció de preu de mercat respecte a la durada de la càrrega és una funció endògena on es té en compte la variació observada del nivell dels preus amb la generació hidràulica, la generació eòlica i la solar a cada node dins de l'arbre d'escenaris. Amb aquest tipus de funció de preu de mercat, les solucions de cartel i les d'equilibri poden ser obtingudes. Per tal de no haver de considerar un nombre exponencial de constriccions de recobriment, s'utilitza una heurística on petits subconjunts de restriccions es van generant després de successives optimitzacions considerant només les constriccions de recobriment generades. Per a les solucions d'equilibri, s'ha utilitzat l'algoritme de relaxació de Nikaido-Isoda en les successives optimitzacions de l'heurística. Pels mercats mixtos (amb subhasta i contractes bilaterals) s'ha formulat una hipòtesi de 'time-share' i s’ha presentat una funció de beneficis de les empreses generadores on només es té en compte la generació que resta després d'haver satisfet els contractes bilaterals. La funció obtinguda és no convexa i s'ha utilitzat un resolutor d'optimització global, però s'ha vist que no era pràctic per a la mida del problema que s'estava solucionant. Per aquest motiu, s'ha utilitzat un resolutor no lineal de punt interior (Ipopt) amb diverses tècniques especials per tal d'eludir els problemes causats per la no convexitat de la funció objectiu tot obtenint resultats satisfactoris. Finalment, s'ha presentat i s'ha utilitzat un nou mètode per introduir els esquemes de bombeig multi-període i a mig termini. Es mostren i s'analitzen els resultats obtinguts per a diversos casos de prova (realistes) amb diferents configuracions de generació.

Abstract:
With the increasing share of variable renewable generation, balancing electric powersystems could become a major concern for system operators because of their variableand hardly predictable nature. However, gas technologies appear as a solutionto provide this flexibility, but the impacts on the gas power system have hardly beeninvestigated. In this thesis, consulting reports on the subject matter, regulator suggestions andgas-electricity interaction models in scientific literature are studied and four sourcesare identified to be used for balancing: linepack, storage facilities, liquefied natural gasand intraday gas supply from adjacent areas. Then, a gas-electricity model for flexibility supply is designed and three case studies are simulated in order to analyze bothgas and electric power systems’ behaviors. In these case studies, electricity generation,contribution of gas sources and costs are analysed. The study concludes that critical situations on gas market that can occur, e.g. incases of large variation in the net electricity demand and limited availability of linepackand storage facilities, the need of intraday modulation can exceed the possibilities toprovide for it. Then, gas cannot be supplied to power plants during peak periods, andmore gas than necessary is used during off-peak periods. The case studies also showthat day-ahead forecast errors in variable renewable generation can be handled mucheasier than variations by the gas system but leads to higher costs.

Abstract:
Recent research shows that combining distributed generation (DG) with renewable resources will reduce fossil fuel dependency and carbon dioxide (C02) emissions. This thesis presents a framework to evaluate the benefits of DG in terms of C02 emission and transmission line losses with respect to the use of centralized power production through 2050. Due to availability of complete data, Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) in California is the main focus of this thesis; however other utility companies such as PG&E, SDG&E and SCE are also discussed. The test results based on SMUD show a decrease of about 11% to 4% in line losses when a 500 MW DG is placed at the consumption site. This thesis also shows that by adding a 40 MW DG at the central location, C02 can be reduced by 71% when compared to current standard business practices. By adding 40 MW DG every year near consumers, SMUD can eliminate inhouse electricity generation thus completely eliminating C02 emissions by 2034.

The document reviews the current and projected electricity demand until the year 2030 along with the fuel mix. Several projections based on different agencies were studied in order to understand the trend of fuel mix projected to be used. Clearly, the fuel mix being used or projected is unsustainable. Depletion of fossil fuels, increasing demand and environmental impacts are some of the factors that emphasize the use of Alternative Sources of Electricity. Three of the upcoming Alternative Sources - Solar, Wind and Landfill Gases - are discussed and compared in the document. Based on the comparison, Landfill Gas projects seem to be very favorable, despite the higher costs related with such projects, several advantages over the other two Alternative Sources are discussed in the document. The several advantages of Landfill Gas projects, such as emissions reduction, better power quality, reduction in transmission losses, and several others are discussed in the document

Thesis (MDF)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Coal export mines in the Mpumalanga Highveld region of South Africa generate growing volumes of discard coal estimated to be in excess of a billion tonnes. It presents a significant pollution hazard. Discard coal has a usable carbon content that can be used in the generation of power through the application of fluidized bed combustion technology. The objective of this study was to evaluate its potential as an economically viable fuel source for generation of electricity at the Witbank coalfields. This study was motivated by advances in fluidized combustion technology and significant changes in the South African electricity market in recent years. A holistic approach was adopted considering regulatory policy, market, technical, environmental and economic factors in the use of discard coal as an alternative fuel source. The policy and regulatory environment was assessed from the perspective of the private sector as project developer and the most likely source of funding, given government’s funding constraints. An evaluation of the future pricing structure of electricity, energy resource mix, demand growth, future development of the coal market, production of discard coal and the cost of coal was conducted. Levelised cost of electricity methodology was used to conduct the economic feasibility for comparison with the cost of Eskom’s pulverised coal technology for its new power stations. The study found that generating electricity from discard coal presents a significant commercial opportunity as its levelised cost of electricity was found to be lower than Eskom’s levelised cost of electricity for its new power stations. Plant sizes of 125 MW to 1 000 MW were considered. For plant capacities of about 500 MW and larger, the cost of electricity was found to be competitive with the current average electricity price taking into account the cost of transmission/distribution and interest charges. This is on condition that the electricity is sold to Eskom or wheeled through Eskom’s grid and sold to third parties. Otherwise, plant capacity will be limited to the maximum demand from large local users, which is expected to be considerably less than 500 MW. Currently there is no regulatory certainty on wheeling mechanisms and charges and it is an area where major policy development is required. The development of a project could be hampered by policy uncertainty and because of Eskom’s monopoly position as single buyer. The favourable results and findings of the economic evaluation conducted during this study warrant further detailed feasibility studies.

Abstract:
Due to the continuous resources’ reduction and cost increase of conventional fossil fuel along with the global trend to decrease the greenhouse effect, clean energy production from renewable sources has been given a global great concern. Among renewable energy sources, wind energy conversion systems have received a worldwide notable attention. It is expected that more than 10% of the global electricity demand will to be generated by wind energy conversion systems by the year 2020. During their early implementation stage, wind turbines were to be disconnected during abnormal and fault conditions within the electricity grid it is connected to. Owing to the fact that current wind installations supply a significant portion of the load demand, disconnecting windfarms may lead to business interruption and discontinuity of power supply to the end user. As such, transmission line operators have developed strict grid codes that wind turbine generator must meet to maintain its connection to support the grid during various fault conditions. To comply with these codes, flexible AC transmission systems have been widely used with current wind energy conversion systems to modulate reactive and/or active power at the point of common coupling of the wind turbine generator and the grid. This book presents the applications of various flexible ac transmission system devices to wind energy conversion systems. Devices such as unified power flow controllers, superconducting magnetic energy storage and static synchronous compensator are covered in this book. Topologies, control systems along with case studies of the aforementioned devices are presented and discussed. This book will be useful for postgraduate research students, upper-division electrical engineering students and practicing engineers.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article analyses the contribution of sugar-cane bioelectricity to the distribution and diversification of power generation in Brazil. A transition is currently underway towards an energy mix characterized by natural gas and new renewable energy sources, mainly wind and solar. Energy security and industrial development priorities have created political and economic challenges for bioelectricity governance. However, meta-discourses of energy transition and bioeconomy are giving rise to selection pressures that are promoting institutional changes towards an expansion of the ethanol market. By using the multi-level perspective of transitions, this paper concludes that, given the technology in use for bioelectricity production, the critical financial state of the sugar-cane industry and the current priorities of the electricity marketing model, sugar-cane bioelectricity, which has a key role to play in the energy matrix, remains uncompetitive and dependent on specific public policies to support its expansion.

Abstract:
AbstractThe lack of affordable, clean, and reliable energy in Africa’s rural areas forces people to resort to poor quality energy source, which is detrimental to the people’s health and prevents the economic development of communities. Moreover, access to safe water and food security are concerns closely linked to health issues and children malnourishment. Recent climate change due to global warming has worsened the already critical situation.Electricity is well known to be an enabler of development as it allows the use of modern devices thus enabling the development of not only income-generating activities but also water pumping and food processing and conservation that can promote socioeconomic growth. However, all of this is difficult to achieve due to the lack of investors, local skills, awareness by the community, and often also government regulations.All the above mentioned barriers to the uptake of electricity in rural Kenya could be solved by the coordinated effort of government, private sector, and academia, also referred to as Triple Helix, in which each entity may partially take the other’s role. This chapter discretizes the above and shows how a specific county (Marsabit) has benefited from this triple intervention. Existing government policies and actions and programs led by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and international agencies are reviewed, highlighting the current interconnection and gaps in promoting integrated actions toward climate change adaptation and energy access.

Abstract:
A deterministic quantitative model has been developed for use to compare the technical, economical and environment feature of various electric power generating plants. The model, which is based on matrix operations, is used in evaluating the various aspects of energy sources available for the electricity generation systems in a developing country. Several energy sources are chosen which could be considered for production of electricity to meet current and future electricity demands. A complete set of energy sources will include fossil fuel fired power plants, nuclear power plants, and natural-renewable energy power plants. A customized computer code is developed to evaluate the overall function for each system from the performance corresponding to the selected energy attributes includes five area of concerns; energy economy, energy security, environmental protection, socio-economic development and technological aspects for the electric power generations. The model developed in this study is applied to the Indonesian’s electric power sector development. Most of the data required for the model application are obtained from various sources related to power industry in Indonesia, such as the Electricity Generating Authority of Indonesia (Perusahaan Listrik Negara, PLN), Government of Indonesia, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, United Nations, and other sources, both in published and public domains. The optimization technique is kept flexible so that it can accommodate other attributes that will be found to be important according to the decision maker’s preference. By so doing, the model virtually can be used to attack any decision problem with various different attributes to reach an optimal decision concerning the selection of energy sources for electricity generation. The result of this study will be a rank of energy sources for Indonesia power generation systems based on the composite distance of each alternative to the designated optimal source of energy.

Abstract:
We present a universal dielectric elastomer energy generator that can be scaled to match the requirements of the energy source. The design couples mechanical energy directly into an out of plane deflection that deforms the film. Cycling the generator between high and low strain states while applying a bias electric field switches the device between high and low energy states; charge that is injected at low energy can then be extracted at a higher potential. We present an analysis of the energy generation capacity and mechanical stability of the device and demonstrate its scalability via a compact, low energy/low deflection device and a larger, higher energy device. We demonstrate the capability of generating approximately 40 mJ per cycle in a single layer device with an active elastomer volume of only 0.57 cm3 and a maximum observed energy conversion efficiency of over 55%. We use recently developed advances in dielectric elastomer technology including interpenetrating polymer network films and carbon nanotube electrodes to improve operational reliability and present comparative results that demonstrate an increase in lifetime by several orders of magnitude over prestrained VHB acrylic films with carbon grease electrodes.

Abstract:
Electrical power is a resource humans heavily rely on, and it has become a basic human need. Today, the major sources of electricity generation are fossil fuels, renewable energy, and nuclear power. This paper concentrates on electricity generated through nuclear power and compares it to the other electricity generation technologies. The objective behind this paper is to discover the impact that nuclear power has on the total electricity generated in Canada, and in addition on a global scale. The paper presents the current role that nuclear power plays in the global electricity generation, and also the expansions that need to be made in the nuclear power industry to fulfill the future electrical power demands. A number of projections have been made based on the current rate of nuclear reactors being put into operation, which is approximately 4 reactors per year, and current term of reactor operation, which is 45 years. These projections were made for the nuclear power in the world. A major outcome of this analysis projects that between 2030 and 2035, the number of operating nuclear reactors in the world can drop by 50%. If this dangerous trend is not addressed, we can lose a viable, and reliable source of energy. The datasets that were analyzed during the process were taken from multiple open literature sources such as journals, reports, and online databases. The paper presents a comparison between nuclear power and other energy sources, and the positive impact nuclear power can have on the world if needed advancements were made in building new nuclear power plants.

Abstract:
As world trade grows, fuel prices increase, and International Maritime Organization (IMO) emissions requirements tighten, there is more demand for the marine industry to employ innovative means of reducing the fuel consumption and emissions of shipping vessels. The main engines of large shipping vessels produce a large quantity of low temperature heat, but this valuable heat energy is transferred to cooling systems and rejected to the oceans as waste. At the same time, the electrical needs of shipping vessels are sustained by burning diesel fuel to run generators. Calnetix Technologies, in partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, has developed the Hydrocurrent™ 125EJW Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), a modularized system capable of absorbing the waste heat of main engine jacket water and converting it into grid-quality electric power. By combining this renewable source with the existing non-renewable source (engine gensets) a unique renewable-non-renewable hybrid power system is realized with minimal changes to overall ship power train. This novel hybrid system can be applied to all new and existing ships and allow for further integration into ship systems with available waste heat. Shipping vessels such as tankers, bulk carriers, and container vessels are typically equipped with a category 3 marine diesel engine for main propulsion. A 30 MW engine, a most common engine size, utilizes 200–300 m3/hr of jacket water regulated to a heated temperature of 80–95 C. When integrated into the jacket water and sea water loops, the ORC can produce up to 125 kW of gross grid-quality electric power. This adds an immense benefit to the ship. To produce the same amount of power, a diesel generator consumes as much as 250 metric tons of diesel fuel per year, generates emissions, and requires significant maintenance. Calnetix Technologies has leveraged its core technologies to develop the ORC into a reliable, high efficiency, compact and modular design. The turbo-generator or Integrated Power Module (IPM) is a hermetically sealed, high speed radial turbine coupled to a permanent magnet generator supported by magnetic bearings. Power from the IPM is converted by a high efficiency power converter supplying the ship with reliable power. The integrated design of the ORC along with the sophistication of its controls systems ensures essential ship functions are undisturbed under all conditions. The ORC is designed to comply with Nippon Kaiji Kyokai and Lloyd’s Register marine regulations and sea trials are anticipated to take place in 2015.

For small developing countries such as Fiji being devoid of conventional energy resources such as petroleum products, coal or natural gas, there is always heavy, and in many cases total, reliance on conventional energy sources for transportation, industries and for electricity generation. Fiji, like most of its South Pacific island neighbours, has relied very heavily on petroleum products for all of these, except for electricity generation since 1983, when hydro-electricity became the major source of electricity for the country.

Abstract:
Threats of climate change and depleted petroleum supplies have prompted the need for eco-conscious alternative energy. This paper introduces a ground-breaking concept for harnessing the sun’s power that is significantly more efficient than existing systems. Solar collectors gather the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun and heat a propylene glycol to a high temperature that will then transfer the heat to a working fluid (Care30) through a plate heat exchanger. The Care30 then exits the heat exchanger in a gaseous state, and is passed through a Tesla turbine, which in turn rotates a shaft. The shaft is connected to a generator, which transforms the mechanical energy into electricity. The absorption efficiency of the solar collectors allows for mechanical loses while maintaining the overall efficiency at higher levels than any existing PV based system. Ambient temperatures drastically reduce the effectiveness of flat plate solar collectors, cooling the liquids inside before the heat can be efficiently consumed. In contrast, an evacuated tube collector maintains efficiency during such conditions. The collectors are insulated from ambient temperatures by the vacuum pressure inside the tube. A stainless steel flat plate heat exchanger is used to transfer the heat from the glycol/water solution to the refrigerant, which is sent to the turbine after it has been converted to its gaseous state. The solution also provides freeze protection in colder climates. A heat exchanger then cools the gas, returning it to its liquid state, which completes the cycle for the working fluid. The water used in the heat exchanger is then used as a supplementary heating source for the home, for domestic or radiant heating needs. As it is effective even in environments that compromise the functionality of existing PV systems, the proposed system responds effectively to the need for more efficient alternative energy sources.
