Harvest rain energy by polyaniline-graphene composite films

10.1016/j.renene.2018.03.034

2018-03-15

Rain energy harvest by a cost-effective technique is promising to increase renewable energy production. In this work, we demonstrate experimental realization of a category of film-type converter tailored with polyaniline (PANi) or PANi-graphene complex films ...

Numerical and experimental studies of excitation force approximation for wave energy conversion

10.1016/j.renene.2018.03.007

2018-03-14

Past or/and future information of the excitation force is useful for real-time power maximisation control of Wave Energy Converter (WEC) systems. Current WEC modelling approaches assume that the wave excitation force is accessible and known. However, it is no...

A Novel Merging Tubular Daylight Device with Solar Water Heater – Experimental Study

10.1016/j.renene.2018.03.031

2018-03-14

Tubular daylight device (TDD) and solar water heater (SWH) are two power saving solutions that are commonly employed individually in residential and industrial premises. This paper proposed a novel merged power saving system consisting of TDD and SWH in one m...

A genset and mini-photobioreactor association for CO2 capturing, enhanced microalgae growth and multigeneration

10.1016/j.renene.2018.03.027

2018-03-14

A multigeneration system is proposed to recover waste heat from a genset driven by a diesel engine, and capture CO2 in its emissions for microalgae growth. Scenedesmus sp. and an algae mixture were separately cultivated in 20-L jugs by supplying two CO2 sourc...
