Abstract: To improve the overall energy production from the wind turbine and lower the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), an innovative approach for the design of a hybrid solar-wind turbine (HSWT) is proposed. The present concept is based on installing arrays of solar panels on the south-facing facade of the turbine tower to generate
Abstract: Field "X" one of the oil and gas fields was have 3 operating wells. The daily production of oil and gas up to April 27, 2019, was 215 BOPD and gas was 0.15 MMSCFD, where previously the produced gas was discharged by flare and oil was flowed directly to the collecting station. The problem with this research is that the origi

Abstract: In this paper, the predictive current control is applied to the matrix converter-based novel power electronic transformer(MC-NPET). In order to control the output voltage, PI control is added. The proposed method aims to regulate the output voltage of the novel power electronic transformer and correct the input power factor
Abstract: Gas turbine engine are one of the major prime movers used in industry and aviation to produce energy and power. However, a major limitation of gas turbine engines, in relation to climate change, is that they are mostly powered by fossil fuels which when burnt, release emissions in varying amounts into the atmosphere. Growin

Abstract: Relevant to the activation of solid fuel particles, critical condition for the mass burning rate constant, above which particle combustion can successfully be accomplished has been obtained. Use has been made of the asymptotics, with focusing on the temporal variation of the particle temperature in the plateau stage. It h

Abstract: The economic climate for any process, product or industry isinfluenced by numerous variables. Any organisation willing tothrive must make deliberate effort to adequately understand theinteractions between the elements, factors and variablesinfluencing its economic climate. Economic analysis is a toolwhich determines how eff
