Model based design of a novel Stirling solar micro-cogeneration system with performance and fuel transition analysis for rural African village locations

Gathered Village Location Optimization for Chinese Sustainable Urbanization Using an Integrated MODM Approach under Bi-Uncertain Environment

“…Wegren et al [8] focus on economic impact in VLP. Shi et al [9] work out that the sustainable urbanization mode, supporting policy, national standards and assessment tools, and sustainable planning are the most important factors in VLP, while Prinsloo et al [10] propose that VLP should follow the popular energy-saving trend. Liu et al [11] indicate that de-industrialization will cause brownfield redevelopment, so VLP should consider the environmental, economic and social factors.…”

“…Many studies have investigated the Village location Problem (VLP) in the past few years (e.g., [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]). Research in VLP has referred to the orientation, theory, methodologies, etc., of this domain.…”

“…Research in VLP has referred to the orientation, theory, methodologies, etc., of this domain. Research topics such as economic impact [8], social relationships [9], energy-saving trends [10] and comprehensive aims [11], mathematic analysis [12] and solution approaches [13,14] and the utilization of Geographic Information System (GIS) [15,16] and Information System (IS) [17] have often been the study focus in VLP. However, little scholarly work has been dedicated to the multiple development goals in disaster risk.…”

Use of Micro-Cogeneration in Microgrids to Support Renewables

“…The design model of a new solar micro-cogeneration system with Stirling machine is investigated in terms of efficiency and fuel pass analysis on TRNSYS simulation program for rural areas in Africa [18]. It is proposed that an autothermal membrane reformer is combined with a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell-based micro-cogeneration system on a prototype [19].…”

Visualization of the Sun Tracking System in the Mathworks Simscape

“…Из двухосевых систем слежения наибольшее распространение получили трекеры с осью вращения на несущем столбе (tip tilt dual axis tracker -TTDAT) и трекеры с опорной плоскостью (аzimuth altitude dual axis tracker -AADAT), в которых главная ось является вертикальной. Достоинствами TTDAT трекеров является простота конструкции и большая гибкость территориального размещения, что позволяет их использовать для построения ФЭС как небольшой мощности для индивидуального применения, так и в крупных энергетических проектах [3]. На практике применяются два основных алгоритма слежения за положением Солнца -астрономический и по датчикам света.…”
