Wind power, solar power and water power are technologies that can be used as the main sources of renewable energy so that the target of decarbonisation in the energy sector can be achieved. However, when compared with conventional power plants, they have a significant difference. The share of renewable energy has made a difference and posed various challenges, especially in the power generation system. The reliability of the power system can achieve the decarbonization target but this objective often collides with several challenges and failures, such that they make achievement of the target very vulnerable, Even so, the challenges and technological solutions are still very rarely discussed in the literature. This study carried out specific investigations on various technological solutions and challenges, especially in the power system domain. The results of the review of the solution matrix and the interrelated technological challenges are the most important parts to be developed in the future. Developing a matrix with various renewable technology solutions can help solve RE challenges. The potential of the developed technological solutions is expected to be able to help and prioritize them especially cost-effective energy. In addition, technology solutions that are identified in groups can help reduce certain challenges. The categories developed in this study are used to assist in determining the specific needs and increasing transparency of the renewable energy integration process in the future.
Combustion of coal and co-combustion of their co-fuel contribute to gas emissions. Among the gas emissions are SO x , NO x , CO and CO 2 . Introduction of calcium based adsorbent is addressed to absorb SO 2 that release to the atmosphere during the combustion process. Objective of the research is at first to observe the physical characteristics of biobriquettes as a function of briquette compositions (coal to palm kernel shell ratios) and Ca/S ratios (Ca in adsorbent and S in briquette) using a natural adsorbent (shellfish waste). The second objective is to investigate desulfurization characteristics as a function of Ca/S ratios and desulfurization temperatures at coal to palm kernel shell ratio of 90:10 (wt %). Ratios of coal to palm kernel shell in this study are 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50; and Ca/S ratios are 1:1, 1.25:1, 1.5:1, 1.75:1 and 2:1. Binding agent used is the mixture of Jatropha curcas seeds and starch as much as 10% (wt). It was found that introducing the palm kernel shell and adsorbents in the coal briquette affect the water resistant and compressive strength. The highest water resistance and compressive strength were 5,165 second and 34 kg/cm 2 , respectively. The lowest SO 2 level found in this study was 1 ppm for all Ca/S ratios, except for 1:1.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of edible coatings of chitosan dissolved with liquid smoke in preserving meatballs. The liquid smoke was derived from rice hulls pyrolyzed at 340 °C. The edible coating was made by dissolving 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% chitosan in 100 ml of liquid smoke at concentrations of 3% and 5%. Preservation was carried out by soaking the meatballs in the edible coating solution for 15 min and storing them at room temperature with observations every 6 h. Food resistance was examined using the Antibacterial Activity Test, Total Plate Count (TPC), and Total Volatile Base Nitrogen (TVB-N).
The results of the antibacterial activity test showed that chitosan-dissolved liquid smoke had inhibition zones ranging from 6.49–7.07 mm against
E. coli
and 6.52–7.26 mm against
Salmonella
bacteria. The use of 5% concentrated liquid smoke reduced the number of bacterial colonies, with TPC values not below the SNI threshold after 48-hour storage. This indicates that liquid smoke has potential as an antibacterial. The TVB-N value doubled after 24 h, but the meatballs still had good freshness. After 54 h of storage time, the TVB-N value in all treatments exceeded the SNI threshold of 0.254 mgN/100 g, and the meatballs were no longer suitable for consumption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
