When used as anodes in sodium ion batteries, the obtained un-doped and P-doped hard carbon show poor electrochemical performances. The results indicate further optimization of the synthesis process is required. However, this approach opens up new possibilities to improve electrochemical performance of hard carbon anodes.","PeriodicalId":6671,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Renewable and Sustainable Energy Conference (IRSEC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90776267","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 article presents a photovoltaic panels control system, which we realized in our research laboratory at the National Higher School of Electricity and Mechanics ENSEM. This system makes it possible to securely acquire data from current, voltage and temperature sensors and display them on a Human-Machine Interface using the Internet of Things. It also makes it possible to send commands to the circuit breaker responsible for connecting the panel to the network. Once tested for a single photovoltaic panel, we have developed a simulator for an IEEE 33 bus test network where four panels have been integrated in a decentralized way to monitor and control these panels in real time.","PeriodicalId":6671,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Renewable and Sustainable Energy Conference (IRSEC)","volume":"54 4 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91541389","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 paper, damage study were discussed using a finite element software through the example of welded rectangular profiles under damped loads while respecting the major parameters affecting the fatigue strength as size of geometry, choice of material, structural environment and temperature. Then, the results indicated the effect of constant and non constant amplitude load on the fatigue life estimated using the stress life approach and thus the concept of damage through Miner's Rule.

While de-bushing of large diameter stocks have yielded huge economic returns for countries like Namibia through a lucrative charcoal and fuelwood or chips, smaller diameter ones have little economic value, especially the shrubs that encroach space in cities and towns. The goal of this study is to explore possible means of deriving economic value from the encroachers, which are currently disadvantaging Botswana through reduced rangeland productivity and de-bushing costs. Pyrolysis has received attention as a potentially low cost thermochemical method that can efficiently utilize such lignocellulosic residues. The primary goal is to use the bio-oil in stationary engine applications for power generation, especially in remote areas of sparsely populated Botswana, where it has been deemed uneconomic to connect them to the national grid. Characterization of encroacher bush indicated it could be a good feedstock for pyrolytic conversion due to the relatively high volatile matter (76.51 %), moderately low ash content (3.90%) and high gross calorific value (17.3 MJ/kg). The A. tortilis was then pyrolyzed under varying overall and condenser temperatures to establish the optimum operating parameters. The obtained bio-oil was characterized, comparing its properties to conventional fuels. The optimum pyrolysis temperature was found at 550°C, while the optimum primary condenser temperature, with the best quality oil (36.809MJ/kg), was at 125°C. The viscosity of this oil was estimated to be 24.024 mPa.s using the other characterized samples. Gas chromatography was also carried out on the oil samples and the compounds with the highest mass presence were catalogued. It is concluded that the bio-oil could be used in moderate-slow engines with moderate upgrading, while it needs to be diluted with a solvent then blended with a diesel for use in fast diesel engines. It is also important to establish the particulate composition and flash point of the bio-oil, though these tests were not carried out in this study.","PeriodicalId":6671,"journal":{"name":"2019 7th International Renewable and Sustainable Energy Conference (IRSEC)","volume":"492 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82671582","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}
