Multi-Criteria Assessment of Renewable Energy Technologies for Solar Buildings Using Waspas Method
Abstract: This research comprehensively evaluates renewable energy alternatives for solar buildings using the WASPAS multi-criteria decision-making framework. The analysis covers six distinct energy technologies: geothermal heat pumps, wind turbines, biomass heating systems, micro-hydro installations, fuel cells and building-integrated energy efficiency systems. These options are assessed against four key criteria: energy efficiency, economic viability, environmental sustainability and technical feasibility. The WASPAS methodology combines both summative and multiplicative techniques to produce reliable rankings. …

Solar and Screw Hydropower Turbine for Power Generation – A Comprehensive Study
Abstract: Micro-hydro power plants rely on efficient screw pump systems to harness the kinetic energy of flowing watercourses for electricity generation. Landustrie, with nearly a century of expertise in screw pump technology, has been pivotal in advancing the field. This paper examines the evolution of screw pump technology within micro-hydro power generation, highlighting Landustrie's contributions and the introduction of automated screw pump selection software. In contrast, screw hydropower turbines use the …

Design and Analysis of PV-based Micro-inverter using INC MPPT Controller and Fuzzy Logic Controller
Abstract: The reserve of conventional energy sources such as coal, natural gas, and crude oil are rapidly decreasing with increasing demand of electricity in the world. Also, the fossil fuels cause air pollution, global warming, and similar environmental problems. Therefore, recent studies have become widespread about renewable energy sources (RESs) such as biomass, hydropower, geothermal, wind and solar which are the most popular worldwide. Among other RESs, solar energy is assumed …

Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of Cast iron due to Bio-organism
Abstract: Cast iron is a high tensile strength metal. It is generally used for making tools, pipe fitting, electrical fitting equipment and rail track. It interacts with corrosive substances to develop electrochemical cell on their interface. Corrosive substances are acids, bases, salts, bio-wastes, particulates and pollutants. These substances produce hostile medium for materials. These harmful wastes discharge by industries, households, agricultural, urbanization, development of infrastructure, construction works, thermal power stations, hydropower, …
