{"title":"Energy needs within the rural community in Makueni County, Kenya","authors":"Job Kitetu,&nbsp;Thomas Thoruwa,&nbsp;Isaiah Omosa","doi":"10.1002/ese3.1839","DOIUrl":"10.1002/ese3.1839","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Literature shows that only 56% of Kenyan households had access to electricity, with rural areas having the lowest access rate at percent. The high cost of extending the power grid to remote areas and power losses on distribution are significant challenges facing rural electrification. In addressing power accessibility problems, especially in rural areas, there is a need for tapping hydropower generation through the invention and implementation of in-duct turbines to maximize the utilization of already existing pressurized water ducts that supply water in various parts of Kenya for hydropower generation. Makueni County is endowed with gravity-fed water ducts with high potential for hydropower which can innovatively be produced by application of in-duct turbines. This paper focuses on the assessment of energy needs and applications in rural areas. The research design was exploratory and experimental in nature. It was exploratory because, through an assessment, it sought to explore and identify the potential areas within the water supply lines for the production of hydropower to supply hydropower in Makueni County. It was experimental because the researcher developed (designed and fabricated) a hydro turbine for use in the production of hydropower from gravity water ducts of a diameter raging 100 mm. The research revealed that 62% (98) used solar power for lighting their homes, while 17% (28), 12% (20), and 8% (12) used lanterns, electricity, and kerosene lamps, respectively. Among the fuels assessed was firewood which was identified as the most used fuel at 89% (140). This was followed at a distance far by paraffin at 6% (9) of respondents. The households at 100% (158) identified electricity as a potential source of lighting for their household. The study recommends harnessing hydropower to enhance reach to 100% of the rural communities. The energy availability will provide opportunities for communities and institutions in rural areas to open their minds to business development and engage in income-generating activities like the rearing of poultry and the development of light industries like the gridding of maize and other cereals.</p>","PeriodicalId":11673,"journal":{"name":"Energy Science & Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ese3.1839","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141650702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted tests for shale organic content, maturity, and whole-rock mineral composition, along with employing high-pressure mercury injection and low-temperature gas adsorption experiments. Utilizing the V-S, FHH, and sponge models, we calculated the fractal dimensions of micro-, meso-, and macropores. In the Yidu-Hefeng region, the Longmaxi Formation is characterized by calcium-rich shales that are abundant in organic matter. Our analysis of samples revealed a total organic carbon (TOC) ranging between 1.04% and 4.24%, with an average of 2.5%. The Ro values fluctuate between 2.98% and 3.57%, with a mean value of 2.845%, indicating an over-mature stage from early to late thermogenesis. Constituents such as quartz span from 39.8% to 51.3%, with a median of 44.3%, while feldspar oscillates between 3.8% and 12.4%, averaging at 8.48%. Clay minerals constitute 24.3% to 41.7% of the samples, with a mean of 34.16%. Shale porosity exhibits a segmented fractal nature. For instance, <i>D</i>1 varies from 2.1278 to 2.4056, with a mean of 2.2767; <i>D</i>2 fluctuates between 2.4995 and 2.7492, averaging at 2.6309; and <i>D</i>3 ranges from 2.6835 to 2.9427, centering around 2.8111. These variations indicate the intricacies of the macropore structure. Positive correlations between TOC and maturity with <i>D</i>1 and <i>D</i>2 are evident, whereas a negative association is observed with <i>D</i>3. The collaborative interplay between siliceous minerals and organics mirrors the relationship between the siliceous mineral content and its fractal dimensions, akin to TOC. Clay mineral transformations, due to accumulation and dehydration, predominantly contribute to macro-porosity, weakly aligning negatively with <i>D</i>1 and <i>D</i>2 but positively with <i>D</i>3. Variations in carbonate and siliceous minerals and their role in primarily yielding dissolution macropores manifest a subtle negative link with <i>D</i>1 and <i>D</i>2 while enhancing <i>D</i>3. Pore volume correlates positively with <i>D</i>1 and <i>D</i>2, exhibits no conspicuous association with <i>D</i>3, and trends negatively. The compaction and transformation processes of clay minerals seem to favor the generation of macropores, mildly aligning positively with <i>D</i>3.</p>","PeriodicalId":11673,"journal":{"name":"Energy Science & Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ese3.1782","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141614550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, the application of an HDH desalination unit with indirect-contact of air and water streams in a steam power plant is investigated. To increase the energy efficiency of the system, a closed air cycle has been considered. Also, by application of the closed water cycle in the humidifier, the recovery rate of the desalination unit increases according to the concentration of discharge flow. The flow rate of boilers blowdown in the studied steam power plant is around 2.2 kg/s and can be used as a unique source of required thermal energy in the desalination system to produce freshwater from power plant chemical effluents. On the basis of the available cooling water (30 m³/day), this stream is considered as the limiting flow in the modeling. The detailed design of different parts of the desalination unit, including the humidification tower, condensers, wet air circulation fans, the required pumps, and the heat exchanger, is presented in this study. The maximum production of freshwater and the minimum energy intensity are obtained for the circulating air flow rate of 4 kg/s. By 14% recovery of lost steam in the power plant, 20.8 m³/h of desalinated water is produced. The gain output ratio and the energy intensity of the system are 1.025 and 2201 kJ/L, respectively.

First, PV data undergo similar day clustering based on permutation entropy and VMD is applied to solar radiation signals with high correlation. Then, the hyperparameters of GRU are optimized by SSA according to the comprehensive evaluation indicator of interval prediction proposed in this study.

The primary goal of this paper is to determine the optimal location and capacity for renewable energy-based distributed generation, specifically PV and wind resources, while considering weather and system uncertainties. These uncertainties include stochastic variations in PV illumination intensity, wind speed, EP, and load fluctuations. To address these uncertainties, the paper employs scenario modeling techniques named as Latin hypercube sampling with Cholesky decomposition. This technique generates multiple correlated scenarios that represent uncertain variables. Subsequently, a scenario reduction technique is applied to identify the scenario with the highest probability. Later, a mathematical model is developed to minimize an objective function that encompasses various factors like system losses, node voltage deviations, the cost of purchasing power from the grid; and simultaneously maximize the total annual energy savings. The objective is to find optimal solutions that strike a balance between different objectives. To obtain an efficient optimum solution, this paper employs an effective meta-heuristic technique named as JAYA algorithm. The results obtained by the JAYA algorithm are juxtaposed with those obtained using particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm techniques.
