Firstly, the distribution system operator (DSO) is introduced as the leader, and the DSO aiming at maximizing its own benefits, formulates a dynamic tariff strategy to guide the virtual power plant cooperative alliance to optimize its operation; the virtual power plant cooperative alliance, as the follower, responds to the DSO's tariff strategy and formulates an autonomous optimization strategy to minimize its own operating costs. Secondly, the Nash bargaining model is used to allocate the benefits of cooperation among the multi-virtual power plant cooperative alliance according to their internal power interactions. The dichotomous method combined with ADMM is used to solve the developed model. The example shows that the hybrid distribution network-multi-virtual power plant game model can effectively enhance the benefits of the distribution network while taking into account the interests of the lower-level virtual power plants.","PeriodicalId":244756,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Research and Reviews","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128383567","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}

Arukwe, C. V. Ahaneku, E. Onuigbo, Jerry O. Omoareghan, A. Lanisa, V. O. Oguadinma","doi":"10.9734/jenrr/2023/v14i2279","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.9734/jenrr/2023/v14i2279","url":null,"abstract":"Seismic attribute analysis is important in subsurface data interpretation, such as seismic interpretation, which could involve seismic stratigraphic and structural interpretation. This interpretation is often hampered by seismic resolution and, sometimes, human inability to identify a subtle feature on the seismic. These factors have frequently led to the poor seismic interpretation of geologic features. Thus, an integral approach to studying structural patterns and hydrocarbon bearing zones using seismic attributes was carried out on the Tomboy field using 3D seismic data covering approximately 56 km2 of the western belt of the Niger Delta. The seismic volume underwent post-stack processing, which enhanced seismic discontinuities. A deep steering volume was first created, and several dip filters were applied to enhance faults in the study area. After that, curvature and similarity attributes were calculated on the dip-steered and fault-enhanced volume. These calculations show detailed geometry of the faults and zones of subtle lineaments. Six faults (F1, F2, F3, F4, F5 and F6) were identified and mapped. These faults range from antithetic to crest growth faults. Two major growth faults (F5 and F6) were revealed to dip in the northeast to southwest directions. A near-extensive crest fault (F4) appeared beneath the major faults. Although several minor fractures were displayed in the southern and central portions of the crest fault of the dipping seismic data, the southwest (F4) and growth fault, F6, are responsible for holding the hydrocarbon found within the identified closures. Using attributes on the seismic data increased confidence in mapping and interpreting structural features. Furthermore, energy attributes were used as Direct Hydrocarbon Indicators (DHI) to visualize viable areas within the study, which allows a more robust interpretation. Time slices were taken in regions of flat and bright spots. The spectral decomposition attribute was run on these slices to display areas of high amplitude reflection typical of hydrocarbon-bearing regions trapped mainly by regional to sub-regional growth faults. The surface attribute calculated on the generated surface shows that the field is predominantly controlled by faults serving as traps for hydrocarbon. ","PeriodicalId":244756,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Research and Reviews","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121702508","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}

In this region, the equatorial climate oscillated between two dry and two rainy seasons, with a high relative humidity. This climate variability influences the electrical output of photovoltaic (PV) modules. The analysis of the impact of climatic parameters such as relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed, ambient temperature, sunshine, on the photovoltaic production becomes necessary to optimize the energy generation in such a region. The objective of this study is to quantify the dependency relationship that exists between the variability of these parameters and the PV power generation using Pearson correlation method. The daily data collected for each parameter during the period from January 2011 to December 2020 were processed with Python 3.7.10 language. The results showed that relative humidity, with an average value of 80.14%, is the climatic has the highest negative impact (correlation coefficient of -0.42) on the performance of PV modules. Thus, the design and operation of a PV plant in this area should consider this parameter, especially with dust deposits, to improve the production yield.","PeriodicalId":244756,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Research and Reviews","volume":"79 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134315653","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 can be used as a recommendation to replace solar energy in the post-harvest drying process, especially for small farmers in rural areas. Research by converting rice husk biomass into heat energy using a heat exchanger of black steel pipes arranged parallel to one air fluid flow. Heat exchanger pipes are placed inside the furnace with dimensions of 50 cm x 50 cm x 80 cm. Forced convection is applied through a fan placed in the drying chamber with a constant speed of 2 m/s. It was found that the ambient temperature increased by an average of 11.70% without adding rice husk mass during the test. The average ambient temperature (Ti) is 305.10 K and ranges from 300.60 to 307.40 K which can be increased to (To) 340.80 K with a range of 317.25 to 366.30 K. This temperature is the out the heat exchanger pipes that can be used for the drying process. The value of the heat transfer rate reached an average of 39.19 W with a range of 18.62-63.19 W. The pattern of distribution of heat transfer rates follows the trend of temperature distribution. It was found that when rice husk turns into charcoal it causes a high heat transfer rate. High heat transfer rates are needed in the drying process of a product so that the required time is shorter and optimal. In addition, rice husk biomass can be used as alternative energy because it is easy to obtain, especially in agricultural areas that grow rice.","PeriodicalId":244756,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Research and Reviews","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132337174","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}

These programs aim to limit indoor air pollution, improve the lives of women, reduce the usage of fuel (charcoal), which reduces deforestation, alleviate the financial burden of energy costs on low-income people, and improve user health by lowering environmental toxins. Other objectives include reducing global warming and improving the social well-being of people in developing countries. The efficiency of the Improved Cookstove programs has gotten mixed evaluations. Several of the projects fell short of their planned objectives, however some did. The use, challenges, and benefits of programs to enhance cookstoves across sub-Saharan Africa are examined in this essay. It starts by looking at a few specific Cookstove technologies, which are divided into groups according on the fuels they burn and whether or not they are mobile. It has been found that factors such as the technical compatibility of the stoves with social expectations, the conformity to local needs and cultures, the attitude of the users, who are frequently reluctant to adopt new technology, and the price of the stove all affect how challenging the programs are. Also, \"bottom-up\" strategies ensure the program's success by involving users and regional artisans in the creation of a self-sustaining sector.","PeriodicalId":244756,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Research and Reviews","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121880059","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}

Countries all over the world are beginning to formulate legislation to promote hydrogen production as a way of combating global warming occasioned by climate change. Currently, all avenues for producing hydrogen are either very expensive or environmentally unsustainable. White hydrogen in commercial accumulations might produce cheaper and more environmentally sustainable hydrogen energy, thus providing a viable alternative to other forms of renewable energy. Despite its potential to become the cheapest hydrogen source, published literature on its occurrence, sources, accumulation, generation processes, and recovery methods are scarce. Consequently, little is known regarding white hydrogen sources, accumulation, and extraction. This study reviewed the various sources and forms in which white hydrogen can exist in nature. The various processes by which white hydrogen is produced and extracted have also been presented. This work aimed to offer new perspectives and direction for future research on white hydrogen exploration and production. Furthermore, the current challenges of white hydrogen exploration and production, and its future outlook, were also presented.","PeriodicalId":244756,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Energy Research and Reviews","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128248023","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}
