Three main scenarios have been developed to achieve energy savings, reduce CO2 emissions and increase demand-side energy storage of 110 GWh by 2030, according to Jordan's Energy Strategy 2020. -2030. Another scenario was worked out to reduce energy from the generation side and energy storage by replacing 110 GWh of diesel generators on the generation side, and the result was a saving of 178 million dinars annually and 110 GWh from the generation side. The final scenario was created to achieve load conversion from excess energy at peak sun hour and send it at night at peak demand. in Jordan by generating 311 GWh at Mujib Dam by 2030, the project is not economical but important for the purpose of providing grid services.","PeriodicalId":6832,"journal":{"name":"2022 Advances in Science and Engineering Technology International Conferences (ASET)","volume":"58 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76266597","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, they have a low thermal performance inherent in it because the low thermal conductivity (TC) of PCMs. Paraffin organic PCMs have several advantages such as higher LHS, nontoxic, abundant in nature and inexpensive, whereas TiO2 nanoparticle is type of hydrophilic group having tendency to improve TC. In this research TiO2 in different concentration (0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 wt percent) with surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate (SDBS) added into Paraffin RT44 HC PCM using two step techniques, and the thermophysical properties were broadly discussed. Thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Thermal property analyzer (TEMPOS) were used for the characterization of prepared composite nano-enhanced phase change materials (NePCM). Additionally, the effect of nanoparticles on TC was investigated. The highest TC was obtained with PW/TiO2-1.0 by an increment of 86.36% as related with base PW. The FTIR spectrum of the composite PW/TiO2 confirmed no interaction between PW and TiO2, resulting in a more chemical stable composite. The addition of TiO2 to PW enhanced the degradation temperature to 10℃ by making it more thermal stable. Grounded on the results it can be concluded that the developed composite is suitable for thermal energy storage (TES), photovoltaic thermal (PVT) systems, and hot water applications.","PeriodicalId":6832,"journal":{"name":"2022 Advances in Science and Engineering Technology International Conferences (ASET)","volume":"24 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82559813","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}

Consequently, double attention is paid to wind power and similar free and sustainable resources. Attaining the optimal location for establishing wind farms and turbines preeminently reduces construction/transmission costs and energy-related losses. In light of the above, we employ several artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to optimally identify and locate the grid-connected wind farms, significantly serving electricity energy manufacturers and distribution companies. In addition, this study aims to maximize the efficiency of the wind energy system by considering the critical factors influencing the production capacities, such as wind speed, air density, turbine size, and geographical location.

The proposed system helps in managing Type-1 diabetes using future predictions to avoid hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. It presents a smart healthcare device for diabetic patients with the ability of intelligently controlling the insulin dosage each time during automatic injection to maintain normal blood glucose levels. The system consists of an insulin pump, a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and a microprocessor unit which utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) based algorithms to predict future blood glucose levels to avoid serious conditions. The prediction feature used in the proposed system distinguishes it from other commercially available products. Furthermore, the proposed system monitors the blood glucose levels of the patient and notifies the patient in case of critical conditions. It can also send a summarized report to the healthcare center and provide the patient with a timeline of collected data and insulin dosages injected.
