The primary objective of this analytical study is to facilitate consumers and society in terms of providing an eco-friendly mechanism possessing low manufacturing cost. This scheme of heat energy recovery from air compressor is related to energy and monetary savings, gained through low consumption of diesel oil and electricity, low value of carbon emission content, and lower maintenance cost, verified from the usage data of compressed air, water and energy, from relevant unit operation of a semiconductor plant production facility. On examining the case study, it is envisaged that an estimated amount of energy saving is about 202,703kWh per year, that can be achieved through simultaneous saving in other attributes such as diesel oil of 36,500 liters per year, i.e. no longer exist in the proposed method, carbon emission content of 207,685kg CO2 per year, and maintenance cost of about 180,000 Baht per year, with a fast payback period of 1.5 years. Several numerical examples are presented for ensuring the validity of the proposed model. The results obtained are compared to other existing method of the heat energy recovery, showing a significant potential benefits in energy recovery.","PeriodicalId":13951,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Energy","volume":"76 1","pages":"17-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79041864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a contribution to the development program of remote areas in Jordan Badia, this paper presents two energy supply alternatives for a remote house represented in photovoltaic system and diesel generator for providing the electrical loads in a family house according to their energy requirements. The result of this study shows that remote households in Jordan Badia will require 3.22kWh/day or 1175kWh/yr to meet their basic power requirements for such loads as lighting and electronic appliances-radios and televisions. It is found that providing electricity to a family house in a remote zone using photovoltaic systems is very beneficial and competitive with the other types of conventional energy sources, especially considering the decreasing prices of these systems and their increasing efficiencies and reliability. They have also the advantage of maintaining a clean environment. It is recommended that solar photovoltaic-based rural home electrification application should be encouraged by the government, especially for those rural households without access to a grid supply.","PeriodicalId":13951,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electrical Energy","volume":"78 1","pages":"137-142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83743221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
