So, the study aimed to determine the best conditions for the synthesis of biodiesel produced through a transesterification reaction using waste cooking oil with a Na2O/γ-Al2O3 catalyst assisted by ultrasonic wave. The steps were: catalyst preparation, oil preparation, esterification, trans-esterification reactions using methanol and various Na2O/γ-Al2O3 catalysts, and characterization. The results showed that the refined waste cooking oil using FTIR was known that there was still a carbonyl group indicating the presence of triglycerides. Free Fatty Acid content of waste cooking oil after esterification was 0.40%, so that the transesterification reaction could be carried out. The XRD results of the catalyst showed a conformity with the reference and it was determined by the Scherrer formula that the crystal size of the catalyst was 30.59 nm. The best condition for biodiesel synthesis was obtained at a catalyst ratio of 1:1 as much as concentration 3% w/w for 15 minutes of ultrasonication, 65 ℃, and molar ratio of methanol: oil (12:1), for the yield of 83.51%. After identification through GC-MS, it was known that the main components in the transesterified biodiesel from waste cooking oil were methyl elaidate (38.54%), methyl palmitate (30.90%) and methyl linoleate (16.61%).","PeriodicalId":45696,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Energy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70229952","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}

Considerable attention from the government towards renewable energy is due to the increasing energy demand. The impact of the current energy shortage has also resulted in damage to the environment. The current legal framework for accelerating the development of renewable energy has made a considerable contribution but is still not in favor of investors. Thus, the integration of renewable energy into the national energy system is still far from being expected, so the cooperation between the government and industrial development must be further enhanced. The specific aim of this work is to adopt various practices and policies towards the development of renewable energy from several developing countries. A critical review of this work will discuss policies and legislation on renewable energy policies especially under-operation, fragmentation, and obsolescence. Policies in favor of renewable energy developers are also presented in this paper. This paper as a whole investigates various renewable energy development policies from developing countries to be adopted in ensuring the availability of energy security in the future.","PeriodicalId":45696,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Energy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70225536","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}

The most frequent action is harvesting, but a correct treatment or energy recovery strategy is still missing. This work aimed to evaluate the energy potential of Sargassum fluitans, through elemental calculations and direct measurements, considering the effect of its washing. The calorific value determined by the direct method was 9.24 ± 0.28 MJ/kg and 12.64 ± 0.18 MJ/kg for dirty and washed Sargassum, respectively. The washing effect increased the calorific values in Sargassum fluitans by 36.80%. The washing effect increased the calorific values determined by indirect methods, increasing 10.10% and 41.04%, each method, respectively. The content of toxic metals was lower in both materials than that established for non-woody biomass from energy use, concerning the ISO 17225:2014 standard. The unit energy cost of Sargassum fluitans is ＄0.007 and ＄0.011 per MJ for dirty and washed conditions, respectively. Finally, the results of this work indicate that the Sargassum wash provides better characteristics to be considered an alternative fuel option in combustion systems such as thermo-electric plants (based on carbon), sugar mills, and cement kilns with co-processing of solid waste. Attending from a bioenergetic approach, Sargassum's emerging seasonal problem affects the Mexican Caribbean coast.","PeriodicalId":45696,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Energy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70226088","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}

The thermochemical conversion pathways comprise dry processes (i.e., torrefaction, combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis), and wet processes (i.e., liquefaction, supercritical water gasification, and hydrothermal carbonisation). It has been found that the thermochemical processes can convert diverse biomass feedstocks to produce bioenergy sources such as direct heat energy, as well as solid, liquid and gaseous biofuels for instance biochar, bio-oil and syngas. However, some of these processes have limitations that impede their large-scale utilisation such low energy efficiency, high costs, and generation of harmful chemicals that cause environmental concerns. Efforts are being made extensively to improve the conversion technologies in order to reduce or solve these problems for energy efficiency improvement. In this review, the emerging developments in the thermochemical techniques for producing biofuel and bioenergy from biomass are presented and evaluated in terms of their technological concepts and projections for implementation. It is suggested that an integration of torrefaction or hydrothermal carbonisation with combustion and/or gasification may optimise biomass energy use efficiency, enhance product quality, and minimise the formation of noxious compounds.","PeriodicalId":45696,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Energy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70226316","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, microgrids are evolving on multiple levels with respect to the chemical processes used to manufacture the underlying technologies, deployment strategies, physical architecture (which is important to the economic factor) as well as environmental impact mitigation of microgrids. Special use cases and paradigms of deploying Distributed Generation (DG) in harmony with agricultural or decorative purposes for existing spaces are emerging, propelled by research in frontiers that the DG engineer would benefit from being aware of. Also, offshore photovoltaic (PV) has emerged as an increasingly important research area. Many nascent technologies and concepts have not been techno-economically analyzed to determine and optimize their benefits. These provide ample research opportunities from a big-picture perspective regarding microgrid development. This also provides the avenue for research in distributed generation from a physical integration and space use perspective.

The use of solar stills is one of the solutions that use solar energy with a simple design to produce fresh water in small to moderate amounts. Hemispherical solar stills are one kind of still design that does not require a particle rotational orientation, and they have proved to be more efficient than traditional designs. Solar stills generally possess a low thermal efficiency, with limitations of working hours, i.e., only daytime. To overcome these problems, rocks placed in the saline water basin are used as heat storage materials to increase the working period of the design. In the present work, different amounts of river rocks are utilized to study the effect of this addition experimentally. Steady state tests are conducted to study the influence of these additive rocks on the enhancement of solar energy absorption, since increased working time is assured by published research. Two volumes of rocks (300 mL and 600 mL) were tested, and both increased water productivity, by 52% and 58%, respectively. The increases are explained by the increases in solar energy absorption, since steady state cases were used.","PeriodicalId":45696,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Energy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70226570","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}

The drawbacks of PEMFC are its short life and its non-linear voltage with loading current. Also, PEMFC is prone to ambient conditions, and its performance varies with different ambient conditions. In this work, the semi-empirical modeling approach has been used to predict the PEMFC voltage accurately. However, when the ambient condition varies, the voltage of PEMFC varies accordingly and consequently the previous parameters of the EMI-empirical model don't produce good results. Previously the voltage variation due to changes in ambient has been predicted with the help of ambient conditions and load resistance, but this model isn't sui for all PEMFCs. In this work, a new method has been proposed where fast and accurate optimization technique such as Transient search optimization (TSO) has been used to optimize parameters when ambient condition varies and predicts the PEMFC voltage accurately and doesn't consume a lot of time. The proposed method will be very helpful in future research for predicting the PEMFC voltage for various PEMFC systems at different ambient conditions. The proposed method has been validated experimentally by performing experiments on n single-cell PEMFC system at normal and high ambient temperature.","PeriodicalId":45696,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Energy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70226351","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}

The amount of energy stored in batteries, including their state of charge and efficiency, are critical metrics for evaluating vehicle performance. This article presents an automated motor-generator linked technique for estimating battery-related parameters, which is an essential aspect of eco-routing in electric vehicles. This system enables discharging of a battery at various current rates by constant resistive loads which are electronically applied. The charging process however uses a charger attached to various sensors for estimating the current. The coulomb counting method has been used which provides information of State of Charge and Coulombic Efficiency of the test battery. Since battery behavior is dynamic; the energy source was charged and discharged over numerous cycles at various current rates. The experimental set-up uses sensors for accurate data acquisition. In addition to the experimental set-up, an electrical circuit battery model has also been simulated in this work. All simulation as well as post processing tasks have been done in the Arduino-MATLAB environment. The main highlight of this system is that the system is portable, easy to operate, low cost and can be used to test all types of batteries. The proposed system is simple and has yielded good results. The battery parameters obtained prove to be vital for range determination in eco-routing of electric vehicles among other applications.","PeriodicalId":45696,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Energy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70226468","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}
