The present study is focused to evaluate the effect of a design parameter (clamping pressure) and an operational parameter (gas pressure) on the contact resistance of the cell. The cell is modelled to visualise contact pressure at the interface of the gas diffusion layer and the current collector. It is observed that the contact pressure at the interface is dependent on both clamping as well as gas pressure. The ohmic resistance of the cell is found to decrease with increase in current, reaches a minimum and then increases owing to membrane hydration and dehydration over gradual increase in the cell temperature. The threshold contact resistance is then calculated to be 33.21 mΩ cm2 based on the minimum ohmic resistance of 100 mΩ. The study highlights the optimum zone where the combination of both clamping and gas pressures can be used to minimise the contact resistance.","PeriodicalId":14400,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"1791 - 1799"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47361025","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}

This paper presents a review of the recent developments in the field of PV power forecasting, mainly focusing on the literature which uses ML techniques. The ML techniques (sub-branch of artificial intelligence) are extensively used due to their ability to solve nonlinear and complex data structures. PV power forecasting can either be direct, or indirect, which involves solar irradiance forecast model, plane of array irradiance estimation model, and PV performance model. This paper presents a review of both of these pathways of PV power forecasting based on the proposed methodology, forecast horizons and the considered input parameters. In case of unavailability of historical PV power for a new PV plant and in case of failure of real-time data acquisition, indirect PV power forecasting can be a viable alternative. Although the performance ranking of various ML models is complicated and no model is universal, recent studies suggest that methodologies like deep neural networks and ensemble or hybrid models outperform conventional methods for short-term PV forecasting. Recent articles also present the various intelligent optimisation and data-preparation techniques to improve performance accuracy.","PeriodicalId":14400,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"1733 - 1755"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46964582","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}

Integration of photovoltaic systems with storage and grid mitigates variability issues and helps maximise self-consumption. This work presents a design methodology for a grid-connected photovoltaic system integrated with storage to meet an annual hourly average demand of 135 kWh of an establishment situated in northern India which receives a daily average solar insolation of 5.16 kWh/m2. System design has been carried out to meet the energy demand at minimised annualised cost. The annualised cost of the optimised system has been found to be US$115184.20/year. Analysis shows that the proposed model results in reduction in annualised cost by 32.27% and a net reduction in emissions by 610 MT as compared with the traditional grid power. Furthermore, multi-objective optimisation carried out to explore system design trade-offs between annualised cost, peak to average ratio of grid energy, and emissions, indicates that overall reduction in emissions by 15% could be obtained at 6.5% increased cost. It is also observed that reduction in grid-outages by 25% leads to reduction in AC by as high as 42.4%.","PeriodicalId":14400,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"1769 - 1779"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48866815","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 the logistics network has become more complex nowadays, vehicle travelling distances, logistics cost, and the corresponding environmental burdens for transporting tangible goods have also increased. Typically, for small-and-medium sized enterprises (SMEs), a small scale of vehicle fleet is usually owned to support their pickup and delivery works but the scheduling of heterogeneous vehicle fleet is very often determined by intuitive judgement of the decision makers. In light of the heightened public awareness on environmental protection and energy saving, enterprises are in need of a systematic tool to support their decisions that could balance between cost and environmental burdens. This study has proposed an objective approach that utilises the Cuckoo Search algorithm to obtain an optimised solution for logistics planning factoring in the impact to both the environmental and cost dimensions. This proposed approach offers an end-of-pipe solution for an optimised assignment of the heterogeneous vehicle fleet and no further result interpretation is required. The approach is simple and efficient for implementation, applicable for the daily logistics planning in relation to heterogeneous vehicle fleet assignment.","PeriodicalId":14400,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"1907 - 1915"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46241066","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}

However, the successful implementation of GFT is rarely reported in India. Therefore, we have tried to look at the hindrances affecting the smooth performance of GFT in India. In this present work, 12 relevant barriers have been identified under 3 main dimensions from the literature. Furthermore, the parameters are classified based on their dependency and driving power (DP) with the help of fuzzy MICMAC analysis. In addition to this, a structural model of the recognised obstacles has been established using the interpretive structural modelling technique. Afterwards, grey-DEMATEL (g-DEMATEL) is applied to establish the cause–effect relationship between constraints. Also, an integrated ISM-DEMATEL model has been employed to form an evident understanding of these barriers. This study’s findings illustrate that ‘Information Distortion’ (OS4), ‘Lack of Commitment by Top Management’ (O2), and ‘Lack of Strategic Planning’ (OS3) should be given due consideration to ensure proper implementation of GFT in India. The current research is unique as it enriches the existing literature by providing analytical support to the relationship between various barriers.","PeriodicalId":14400,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"1871 - 1892"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44514886","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}

Hence, in this study, we analyse a newsvendor problem among manufacturers and retailers under random demand to facilitate sustainable and green growth approaches. In our analytical model, two ways are considered to meet the needs of retailers. In the first case, the retailer orders before the sales season, so the remanufacturer will have enough time to remanufacture returned products and provide the retailer’s needs with recycled materials. In the second case, the retailer will re-order after the start of the sales season in the face of a shortage. So, the remanufacturer will not have enough time to supply the retailer with returned materials, and the retailer’s order will be met with new products using raw materials. The model intends to study the effects of carbon footprint constraints, vertical integration, buyback contract, and retailer’s sales effort on inventory control systems with remanufacturers. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is performed, and conclusions and future research directions are provided.","PeriodicalId":14400,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"1551 - 1571"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2021-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47085687","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}

For renewable energy systems, this methodology shows the cost-effectiveness of being used as an alternative source compared to conventional power generations. Case studies of six solar power plants in India in the state of Karnataka, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, New Delhi and Rajasthan were considered to find out the economic viability of the feasibility of the solar power plants in India. It has been observed that in an emerging economy like India, the feasibility and economic viability of solar power plants are quite high. The cash flow analysis for all six cases confirms that project payback depends on initial investment and rate of Power–Purchase-Agreement (PPA). It has been observed that the payback period is generally less than eight years.
