Modeling and Simulation of a Thermal and Thermoelectric Generation System in Geothermal Installations
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents a theoretical simulation and modeling of a new system to generate thermal and thermoelectric energy in building geothermal facilities. The simulation has been developed for a closed loop geothermal circuit based on a new engineering design of multiple heat exchangers and thermoelectric generators (TEG) in both upward and downward section. The paper is based on previous studies and shows the feasibility of supplying thermal energy and electric …

Implementations and Optimization in Design of Radiant Cooling Concept with Room Floor and Walls
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, in order to accurately simulate room thermal performance, a coupling strategy between the room floor and wall with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of the indoor airflow in a room, and the radiation heat transfer among the internal surfaces of its space and wall is calculated. Mostly research of radiant cooling is performed with radiant pipes in floors and ceiling, so we performed our analysis by installing …

Design and Plan for Installation of Solar PV Modules on University Building
Abstract: AbstractEnergy is essential for economic development and growth. With the rapid growth of development and the drive to expand the economy, society demands more electricity. Coupled with the realization that unsustainable energy production can have a detrimental effect on our environment. Solar energy is the most prolific method of energy capture in nature, knowing that the source is free, clean and abundant in several countries. Solar electric or photovoltaic technology …

Towards Curbing Energy Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa through The Use of Solar Bike: A Case of Koupela, Burkina-Faso
Abstract: AbstractThe rate of energy poverty in Africa particularly in Sub-Sahara region is quite alarming and appealing. This anomaly has greatly affected industrialization processes in this region. Not only has electricity access remain an acute issue in Burkina Faso almost two centuries, but in addition, the accelerated consumption of fossil fuels is leading to drastic consequences manifested in the form (s) of impaired development for humans and nature. To encourage greater …
