Application of artificial intelligence in fault detection and classification of solar power plants and prediction of power generation of combined cycled power plants
(2022)Solar energy is one of the most dependable renewable energy technologies, as it is feasible almost everywhere globally and is environmentally friendly. Photovoltaic-based renewable energy systems are highly susceptible ... -
Assessing community forest resources to determine potential for biomass district heating in one rural and one remote First Nation of Northwestern Ontario
(2016)The purpose of this thesis is to explore the feasibility of using biomass in rural and remote First Nations for the purpose of supplying biomass district heating plants. The availability of forest resources, including the ... -
The economic feasibility of replacing diesel with renewable energy resources in remote First Nation communities in Northern Ontario
(2017)Ontario has many First Nation communities in the remote northern region that use diesel fuel to generate part or the whole of their energy requirements. There is a huge financial and environmental cost associated with ... -
The impact of amending forest soils with wood ash on soil organic matter attributes and associated properties
(2020)Wood ash, the byproduct of bioenergy production from biomass, is typically discarded into landfills as waste. Adding ash back to soil may supply nutrients to soil that are lost through biomass harvesting, increase soil ... -
Increased production of cellulosic sugars from lignocellulosic materials
(2018)Renewable energy is energy that is regenerated naturally for infinite time. Renewable energy can be categorized into solar, hydro, wind, geothermal, and biomass. Biomass is an organic material such as agricultural, forest ... -
Intelligent and cost-effective protection schemes for improved reliability of large-scale wind farms
(2021)Recently, wind power has become a reliable and cost-effective renewable energy source of electricity due to the foreseeable exhaustion of fossil fuel-based power generations and its growing adverse effects on the environment ... -
Investigation and performance characteristics of a hybrid solar photovoltaic-thermoelectric power generation renewable energy system
(2015)Increasing fossil fuel prices, electricity demand, and global concern for greenhouse gas emissions have increased interest and research of novel renewable energy technologies. Renewable solar-photovoltaic (PV) systems are ... -
Particle swarm optimization based adaptive neuro-fuzzy interference system for MPPT control of a three phase grid connected photovoltaic system
(2019)There is a significant demand for renewable energy systems to ensure sustainable and environmentally friendly living. Shifting from the use of fossil fuels to renewable energy sources will decrease both the reliance on ... -
Performance and emissions of diesel engines fueled by expanded polystyrene-infused biodiesel with additives
(2018)Environmental issues and conventional fossil resource depletion has directed the attention of researchers to seek clean or alternative fuels. Biodiesel was introduced as an answer to day-to-day increases in diesel consumption ... -
Sustainability analysis of carbon dioxide emissions on combustion of biomass for electricity
(2022)The transition towards renewable, low-carbon energy is a fundamental element of climate change mitigation. Many countries around the world have set their decarbonization strategies to reduce emissions. The European Union ... -
Towards auction mechanisms for peer-to-peer energy trading in smart grids
(2019)The conventional energy grid is being replaced with the new emerging smart grid infras- tructure. This can be attributed to the fact that it only supports unidirectional energy ow, i.e., energy is transmitted from the ... -
Wind load evaluation on photovoltaic modules with flow deflector
(2020)The wind load on a photovoltaic system and the effects of adding a flow deflector around the panel are studied. The deflector is a reinforce measurement aiming to reduce the aerodynamic wind loads over the PV system, ...
