Autoignition of blends of n-butanol and ethanol with diesel or biodiesel fuels in a constant-volume combustion chamber

The following conclusions can be drawn from the present study: The increase in alcohol content in diesel or biodiesel fuels always led to an increase in both IDCF and IDM. Such an increase was sharper at high alcohol contents. This implies that weight or volume averaging of autoignition parameters (such …

Heat extraction of novel underground well pattern systems for geothermal energy exploitation

Novel underground well pattern systems. replacing fracturing reservoir with horizontal wells. were proposed for geothermal energy exploitation in this paper. The most important feature of the well pattern systems was the wholly closed circulation inside the wellbores. Compared to the fractured reservoir system where the fluid flowed in the porous …

The empirical reality & sustainable management failures of renewable energy projects in Sub-Saharan Africa

The energy problems experienced in Sub-Saharan Africa today can only be solved by the decentralization of energy generation to the smallest subset possible. To achieve that. renewable energy must be considered and utilized. This supports the generation of clean energy and would contribute enormously to the “unofficial economy“ that is …

The Grid-side PWM Converter of the Wind Power Generation System Based on Fuzzy Sliding Mode Control

The mathematical model of the three-phase grid-side PWM converter in d-q synchronous reference frames is thoroughly investigated. Comparing with the tradition control way of PWM converter. this method doesn’t demand high accuracy of mathematic model. and has little sensitivity of parameter change and the external perturbation. which can control a …

Sliding Mode Controls of Active and Reactive Power of a DFIG with MPPT for Variable Speed Wind Energy Conversion

In this paper a variable structure control based on a sliding mode control (SMC) of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) grid-connected wind energy conversion system. incorporating a maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for dynamic power control has been presented. This structure has been used for reference tracking of active …
