Identification of Critical Locations and Reduced Model State Estimation for Power System Analysis (Electrical Project)
In order to reduce the carbon footprint and the cost of electric energy, the owners of electric power utilities today are faced with the task of reducing the use of expensive and carbon intensive fossil fuels and significantly increasing the Continue reading
A Techno-economic Analysis of a Residential Solar Photovoltaic System (Mechanical Project)
With environmental concerns and energy needs increasing, many regions in the world are promoting renewable energy technologies making use of various policy instruments. Although today the PV systems price is decreasing, which gives it a Continue reading
Using Simple Drip Irrigation Systems for Small-scale Vegetable Production (Civil Project)
By producing vegetables year-round, small-scale growers can increase their incomes and enhance the diets of their families and communities. Vegetable crops respond well to irrigation, which helps to improve yield and quality, and increases the Continue reading
Modular Hybridization of Solar Thermal Power Plants for Developing Nations (Mechanical Project)
The current energy scenario in the developing nations with abundant sun resource (e.g. southern Mediterranean countries of Europe, Middle-East & North Africa) relies mainly on fossil fuels to supply the increasing energy demand. Although this long adopted pattern ensures Continue reading
Modelling and Simulation of Temperature Variations of Bearings in a Hydropower Generation Unit (Mechanical Project)
Hydropower contributes around 20% to the world electricity supply and is considered as the most important, clean, emissions free and economical renewable energy source. Total installed capacity of Hydropower generation is approximately 777GW in the world (2998TWh/year). Furthermore, estimated technically feasible hydropower potential in Continue reading
How to develop onshore wind farm projects in France under the new Grenelle 2 law (Mechanical Project)
With the rising global warming issue and an ever-increasing dependency oil problem, wind power seems to be an alternative source of energy which is clean, non-polluting, and cost effective. The European 20-20-20 goals as well as national targets for the Continue reading
