This paper discusses the perspective of renewable energy (wind, solar, wave and biomass) in the making of strategies for a sustainable development. Such strategies typically involve three major technological changes: energy savings on the demand side, efficiency improvements in the energy production, and replacement of fossil fuels by various sources of renewable energy. Consequently, large-scale renewable energy implementation plans must include strategies of how to integrate the renewable sources in coherent energy systems influenced by energy savings and efficiency measures. Based on the case of Denmark, this paper discusses the problems and perspectives of converting present energy systems into a 100 percent renewable energy system. The conclusion is that such development will be possible. The necessary renewable energy sources are present, if further technological improvements of the energy system are achieved. Especially technologies of converting the transportation and the introduction of flexible energy system technologies are crucial.

Abstract:In this paper, electrical energy demand (load) of health centre at Ibeno beach in Akwa Ibom, was estimated based on watt-hour energy demand of the electrical appliances in the health centre. The estimated daily load demand is 35 kWh/day with peak load of 7.735 kW. The sea ambient temperature is about 8% lower than that obtainable on land while the wind speed on sea is about 67% higher than the wind speed on land. The cumulative effect of the lower offshore temperature and higher offshore wind speed is offshore PV cell temperature that is about 18% lower than the PV cell temperature on land. The system is designed with 3 days of autonomy and the resultant load demand will be satisfied by 11.41 kW PV modules and 4765.8Ah battery capacity which amounts to 64 units of the selected PV panels and 24 units of the selected battery.

“…The climatic conditions in India are good with about 300 clear and sunny days and theoretical solar power reception, on its land area, is about 5 trillion kWh/year. The daily average solar energy incident over India varies from 5 to 7 kWh/m 2 with about 1500-2000 sunshine hours per year depending upon location, which is far more than current energy consumption [5]. The study carried out by Chavda and Kumar [6] indicates that cost of drying with solar power is only one-third as compared to the cost using a dryer based on conventional fuels.…”

Drying is a simultaneous heat and mass transfer energy intensive operation, widely used as a food preservation technique. In view of improper postharvest methods, energy constraint, and environmental impact of conventional drying methods, solar drying could be a practical, economical, and environmentally reliable alternative. In the present paper applicability of mixed mode solar cabinet dryer was investigated for drying of commercially important and export oriented ginger. Freshly harvested ginger slices were successfully dried from initial moisture content of 621.50 to 12.19% (d.b.) and their drying characteristics, quality parameters, and kinetics were evaluated. The results showed that present solar dryer could be successfully applied for drying of ginger in view of quality, reduced drying time, and zero energy requirement as compared to conventional open sun drying and convective drying techniques, respectively. Drying curves showed that drying occurred in falling rate period and no constant period was observed. The effective moisture diffusivity was determined by using Fick's second law and found to be 1.789 × 10 −9 m 2 /s. The drying data was fitted to five thin layer drying models and compared using statistical criteria. Page model was found to be most suitable to describe the drying kinetics of ginger in solar dryer under natural convection among the tested models.
