چکیده

Renewable energy systems provide a resilient access pathway to affordable and sustainable for millions of people in regions with no or undeserved grid. In this work, multi-objective Hybrid Optimization Model Electric Renewables (HOMER) software has been applied design assess the techno-economic feasibility Energy Systems (HRESs) Malawi’s off-grid communities. The study targeted use decentralized photovoltaic (PV), wind, diesel generator, battery storage technologies electrify three villages Chigunda, Mdyaka, Kadzuwa, which had estimated daily electrical peak demands 14.53, 8.09, 6.40 kW, respectively. Wind solar resource data were used as inputs generate multiple combinations HOMER. sensitivity output was tested by varying wind velocity pump prices. optimization results showed that optimal configuration comprised PV-wind-battery, while Mdyaka PV-battery ideal. all cases, more sensitive changes velocity. were, however, found be infeasible economically costs higher than per kilowatt-hour cost US$ 0.120 electricity Malawi.

Techno-economic analysis of hybrid layered manufacturing

Subtractive manufacturing (CNC machining) has high quality of geometric and material properties but is slow, costly and infeasible in some cases; additive manufacturing (RP) is just the opposite. Total automation and hence speed is achieved in RP by compromising on quality. Hybrid Layered Manufacturing (HLM) developed at IIT Bombay combines the best features of both these approaches. It uses ar...

Techno-economic and resource analysis of hydroprocessed renewable jet fuel

Background Biomass-derived jet fuel is an alternative jet fuel (AJF) showing promise of reducing the dependence on fossil fuel and greenhouse gas emissions. Hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) concept is also known as one of the pathways for producing bio jet fuel. HEFA fuel was approved by the American Society for Testing and Materials in 2011, and can be blended up to 50% with conven...
