Numerical Design of An Off-grid Solar Photovoltaic System for Office ShelterBy Umar Muhammad Kangiwa, Alhassan Alhaji Shehu, Sadik Umar, Gwani Mohammed, Mudassir Na Allah
Abstract: Electricity is essential needs for domestic and office applications. Due to the shortcomings from the national grid, renewable resources are prepared for alternative power supply rather than fossil fuels generators which pollute the environment. To provide a constant power supply, an off-grid solar PV system should adequately be designed. This paper presents the design of an off-grid solar PV system for office shelter. Solar thermal and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems …

Construction and Comparative Analysis of Passive and Active Indirect Hybrid Solar Dryer’s for Drying TomatoesBy Umar Muhammad Kangiwa, Gwani Mohammed, Jamilu Musa Garba, Saminu Sani, Umar Abubakar Abdullahi
Abstract: The surplus agricultural products needed to be preserved by drying during harvesting period for long term storage. The application of modern techniques of solar thermal systems using solar dryers substitutes the use of an olden day’s method of direct sun radiation. This research entailed construction and comparative performances analysis of two different hybrid indirect solar dryers. The average daily air flow rates and temperatures in the dryer’s chamber, the weight …

Sizing and Power Estimation Models of an Off-grid Wind Power Supply System in Sokoto, NigeriaBy Umar Muhammad Kangiwa, Muazu Musa, Aminu Muhammad Bayawa, Sadiq Umar
Abstract: AbstractThe exploitation of wind energy for electricity generation could be done by the use of wind turbines. The power output from the wind generator fluctuates due to the variability of wind speed and therefore storage facilities are needed for power supply stability. This research focuses on the wind power potential investigations, sizing of wind power system components and determination of the better wind turbines for residential power supply in Sokoto, …
