The paper highlights the significant tidal currents along the Atlantic coast, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 20 Nov 2024 · 5,273 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleGIS-Based Optimal Site Selection for Installation of Large-Scale Smart Grid-Connected Photovoltaic (PV) Power Plants in Selangor, MalaysiaSabo Mahmoud Lurwan, Mohammed Oludare Idrees, Goma Bedawi Ahmed et al.This study presents a GIS-based model to identify optimal sites to install large-scale smart grid-connected Photovoltaic (PV) power plants. Input datasets include digital elevation model, road networks, grid lines and daily average solar radiation. Using multi-criteria decision-making approach, we set constraining conditions for slope, proximity to the road, proximity to grid lines, solar radiation and land use to optimize the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2017 · 8,783 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of pollution on lead and cadmium concentration and correlation with biochemical parameters in blood of human population nearby Kosovo thermo power plantsEugene Oks, N.M. Daci, M.N. Daci-Ajvazi, H. PaçariziThis study describes an investigation of lead and cadmium pollution of Kosovo environment as a result of outflow from the coal processing industry. In a comparative study of lead and cadmium concentration in blood of human population of two different environments in Kosovo, one nearby Kosovo Thermo Power Plants, (Obiliq) a highly polluted environment and the other that is considered … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIntegrating Renewable and Nonrenewable Energies in Power Plant PlanningHabib H. Al-Ali, Yousef Saif, Ali Elkamel, Ali LohiProblem statement: Electricity can be generated from different type of technologies such as fossil and non-fossil power plants. Among these technologies, coal-fired power plants have been a major route for electricity generation. Recently, environmental constraints were imposed over the coal power plant operations in order to reduce their emissions. Besides, renewable energy power plants such as hydroelectric, wind, solar and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,804 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimal Production Planning of Electricity from Coal-Fired Power Plant Networks under Environmental ConsiderationsHabib H. Al-Ali, Yousef Saif, Ali Elkamel, Ali LohiIn this study, electricity production from a network of coal power plants and under environmental constraints is considered. Several pollutants are incorporated into the decision planning process including nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx) and mercury (Hg). A Nonconvex Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model was first developed to assist in the evaluation process. An exact linearization of the nonconvex … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,070 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Faulty Solar Panel Detecting and Mapping Method Using aDrone with RGB and Thermal Cameras in Solar Power PlantSoobin Jeon, Dongmahn SeoA solar panel generates electricity power using the sun's rays. It isusually located on a rooftop or open field without shadow. This solar panelis hard to be tested by nonprofessionals. Therefore, we propose a detectingsystem for a faulty solar panel using a drone with an RGB camera and athermal camera. The drone is applied for collecting aerial videos. The RGBcamera … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 5 · 21 May 2025 · 4,591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeasibility of Hybrid Neuro-Fuzzy (ANFIS) Machine Learning Model with Classical Multi-Linear Regression (MLR) For the Simulation of Solar Radiation: A Case Study Abuja, NigeriaNajashi B. Gafai, Asia'u Talatu BelgoreThe extremely variable nature of solar radiation makes it difficult for solar power plants to keep up with predicted power output and demand curves. As a result, solar radiation simulation is crucial to the efficient design, administration, and operation of any solar power plant. With only partially satisfactory results, empirical models have been routinely employed in Nigeria to predict solar … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 21 Jul 2022 · 10,032 accessesView PDFCite
