Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDegradation of Power Generation Performance due to Effects of Various Ice Shapes and Accretions on Wind Turbine BladesAditya Bagade, Changki Mo, Abdelhamid MazherIn today’s world, green energy has become a key initiative as an alternative energy resource. Wind turbines are widely used to harvest wind energy in seasonal and cold environments. Although efficient, cold weather conditions negatively affects wind turbine operations due to ice formation. Damage from icing is seen on blade-tips when super-cooled water droplets that form in colder environments rapidly … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 11 Sep 2015 · 7,818 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Green Roof Model Predictions with Experimental DataSergio Quezada-García, Manuela Azucena Escobedo-Izquierdo, Juan José Ambriz-García et al.In this study, the results of a green roof model are presented and compared with experimental data. Good agreement between simulation and experiment were found for different experimental conditions that were carried out in a controlled environment laboratory. The study of green roof heat transfer processes is important because it allows a better thermal design in buildings; the use of … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Jul 2015 · 7,228 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,503 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating Effects of Green Taxes on Investments in Renewable Energies: The Case of the UKLisa Moritz, Hafez AbdoThis research paper seeks to explain and analyse the effects of green taxes on investment in renewable energies in the case of the UK. As climate change is challenging the world, different measures and instruments have been implemented to tackle it. The implementation of green taxes on environmental pollution is one example. Even though green taxes aim to reduce greenhouse … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 4 Apr 2014 · 8,022 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhycoremediation and the Potential of Sustainable Algal Biofuel Production using WastewaterAdel A. Fathi, Mohamed M. Azooz, Mohamed A. Al-FredanWastewater remediation by microalgae is an eco-friendly process with no secondary pollution as long as the biomass produced is reused and allows efficient nutrient recycling. This study was undertaken to evaluate the remediation of wastewater by the green alga Chlorella vulgaris and the potential of these alga (biomass) to produce sustainable biofuel. The results shows that the cultivation of green … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 27 Feb 2013 · 7,541 accessesView PDFCite
