Action mechanism of nano titanium carbide (nTiC), nano zirconium carbide (nZrC), and nano silicon carbide (nSiC) was studied using a concentrated ignition experimental system, an X-ray diffractometer and a scanning electron microscope. Each nano-carbide was mixed with B in mass ratio of 2/8 and...

The main purpose of this work is to establish and analyzedistinct scenarios for the evolution of the energy system of the island of Santiago in Cabo Verde in the long term, that is, within the time horizon of 2040. The LEAP (Long-Rang Energy Alternatives Planning) simulation tool was used to...

This paper has done research on the current situation of energy development and its problems in Yulin for improving the coordinated development between economy and ecological environment. Through the current situation analysis of the principal energy development and environmental pollution, it...

Iranian agriculture has been supported by cheap energy for decades. So the question of whether this policy had brought any real outcome in terms of sector growth and export is of high importance for policy making. This paper tries to empirically identify such relation by using time series...

The mismatch between photovoltaic generation and residential load leads to relative modest rates of self-consumption of solar electricity unless expensive storage solutions are locally available. One alternative to batteries is the aggregation of demand of different prosumers, as the collective...

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between economic growth (EG) and energy consumption (EC) for the 34 OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries over the period 1990-2015.Analyze the static and especially dynamic sense of relation...

There is growing concern about the decline of the ore grade in mines and the increased energy usage for processing and refining metals. In the limit, where no concentrated deposits exist, minerals must be obtained from bare rock. A method for quantitatively assessing the "free bonus" granted by...

This paper estimates the impact of renewable energy on economic growth in West African countries using panel dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) by employing a sample of 15 West African countries covering the 1995-2014 period. The results indicated that renewable energy consumption slows down...

The recent ban on conventional incandescent lamps for residential use led Brazilian consumers to choose from three main lighting technologies: incandescent halogen, CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp), and LED (Light Emitting Diode). Despite the fact that their electrical performances are well known,...
