This work presents an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) artificial intelligence methodology of predicting the 2nd law efficiency and total irreversibility of a refrigeration system running on LPG/TiO2-nano-refrigerants. For this purpose, substractive clustering and grid partition...

One of the important optimization applications (minimization and maximization) is the power grid systems. National electricity grids should be interconnected to develop larger regional grids (supergrids), and further integrated to build up a worldwide grid (global grid) for minimizing...

This paper presents a statistical analysis of wind characteristics of five locations covering the North-Central (NC) geo-political zone, Nigeria, namely Bida, Minna, Makurdi, Ilorin and Lokoja using Weibull distribution functions on a 36-year (1971-2007) wind speed data at 10 m height...

This paper evaluates small hydropower (SHP) development and examines the current situation in Nigeria with respect to the established policies and Energy Power Sector Reform (EPSR) Act 2005. Hydropower sector witnessed about 360% growth between 1971 and 2005 and yet only about 5% of the vast...

This paper evaluates wind speed data of 37 years, 1971-2007 periods measured at 10 m height for five meteorological stations in North-East geo-political zone, Nigeria, namely Bauchi, Nguru, Maiduguri, Yola and Potiskum that have been analyzed statistically to examine the monthly and seasonal...

This paper presents an assessment of wind energy potentials of six selected high altitude locations within the North-West and North-East geopolitical regions, Nigeria, by using 36-year (1971–2007) wind speed data subjected to 2-parameter Weibull distribution functions. The results showed that...
