ABSTRACT There is great concern worldwide about increased greenhouse gas emissions and the consequences of climate change. Photovoltaic solar energy emerges as an alternative source of renewable energy with low environmental impacts. Through a bibliographical review on the subject, this paper presents an analysis of the scale insertion of this energy in Brazil, demonstrating the benefits that can be generated of this technology, impediments and future perspectives. The conclusion is that Brazil has great potential for the energy generation, collaborating to reduce the environmental impacts as a reduction of the greenhouse gases emission. The barriers to introducing photovoltaic solar energy have been lack of investment, lack of more aggressive incentive programs, technological capacity and professional training.","PeriodicalId":91221,"journal":{"name":"British journal of applied science & technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43801190","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 conventional Arps’ models: Exponential, Harmonic and Hyperbolic, alongside with the Reciprocal and Quadratic models were used. Production data: gas production rate q and gas cumulative production G were obtained from 13 wells in the field “ABC”. Multivariate analyses were performed with the mentioned models to establish the decline constant (Di) and decline exponent (b); for hyperbolic model, of the field “ABC” in the Niger Delta region. A decline constant of 0.000064day was obtained from all the models with exception of Reciprocal model with 0.00053day for the gas field. Also, the decline exponent (b) obtained for Hyperbolic model was 0.9999. The statistical analysis: absolute error, standard deviation and coefficient of determination, of the fitted models used to ascertain the extent of their predicted values differ from the field test data results in Arps’ models: Exponential 0.1150, Original Research Article Okon et al.; BJAST, 19(1): 1-14, 2017; Article no.BJAST.31184 2 0.02666 and 0.9981; Harmonic 0.11547, 0.02665 and 0.9982 and Hyperbolic 0.11547, 0.02665 and 0.9982, respectively.

Thus, the results indicate that, modern rate decline models for reservoir performance analysis can compete with the well-known Arps’ model(s).

ABSTRACT Aims: The paper compares the Results: The result revealed that, the densely populated area remains the larger consumer of energy content of 827,411.20 MJ (63%) against the sparsely populated areas with 486,267.60 MJ (37%), while on the basis of households’ income level; the energy consumed by the low income earners (790,719.30 MJ) is significantly higher than the high income earners (522,959.49 MJ). Conclusion: The study established that, fuel wood was the poor man’s energy source (6.5%) as well as charcoal (11.2%) majorly used in sparsely populated areas with high demand. Kerosene consumption (29.6%) was positively and significantly influenced by income and population in both locations while, LPG (44.9%) and electricity (7.8%) were used mainly in the densely populated areas. However, the results implied that, there was a positive link between income and choice of energy consumption by households that showed the low income earners consumed more energy than the high income earners due to their cooking frequency and unit energy purchase index.","PeriodicalId":91221,"journal":{"name":"British journal of applied science & technology","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46115812","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}
