A government plan was announced to expand the share of renewable energy to 20 percent by 2030 in Korea and to construct additional pumped hydro storage (PHS) to prepare for the uncertainty of renewable generation. However, due to the distortion of the Korean electricity market, pumped storage...

The Irish Seafood agency reports that 15% of global energy is consumed by operations related to refrigeration and air conditioning in the fish industry which stresses the importance of integration with clean renewables and adoption of smart energy management solutions. While fish processing...

Optimal sizing with energy management strategy as a transition pathway towards a sustainable 100% renewable energy-based microgrid is investigated in this paper. Due to the challenges of intermittency of renewable energy, microgrid operations are complicated. Hence, in order to overcome some of...

In this work, the layered compound of LiCo0.525Ni0.475O2, (LCNO) was prepared by self-propagating combustion reaction for the cathode of lithium-ion battery. We used self-propagating combustion reaction to prepare the compound of LiCo0.525Ni0.475O2, (LCNO) as a cathode material of lithium-ion...

In this work, the catalytic upgrading of a bio-oil model compound via esterification with ethanol was studied using 12-tungstosilicic acid as the catalyst. The response surface method was used to investigate and optimize the process variables, which include the ethanol to acid molar ratio,...

The scarcity of fossil fuels and their environmental impact as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, have prompted governments around the world to both develop research and foster the use of renewable energy sources (RES), such as biomass, wind, and solar. Therefore, although these efforts represent...

High performance and cost-effective ferry boats are of capital interest for customers and marine industry companies. On the other hand, the traditional ferry boats, operated by diesel generators, spatter the atmosphere with CO2 emissions and detrimental particles. Hence, electric propulsion in...

Electricity is very important for daily living and plays a major role in national development in Thailand with around 20.5% proportion in national final energy consumption, mainly from burning fossil fuels which have a direct effect to the greenhouse gas emission level of the country. Hence, the...
