Attention to carbon fiber (CF) conditioned by their unique physicochemical, mechanical and electrical properties, which makes them in demand in various fields of activity. Today there are several kinds of carbon fibers, most of which (about 90%) are made of polyacrylonitrile (PAN). Despite the fact that carbon fibers are produced from several types of different precursors, their widespread commercial use is limited by the high cost of the product. Has, many research and engineering group seek to reduce the cost of production by using cheap carbon raw materials. A likely solution to this problem is the exploitation of coal, petroleum and coal tar as an effective progenitor for CF production. This review discusses neoteric accomplishment in CF synthesis using various carbon pitches. The possibility of obtaining carbon fibers based on resin with the addition of PAN is presented, and the prospects for their use in energy storage systems and various reinforced composite materials are described in detail.

It is well known that the widespread use of solar heating or cooling systems could lead to an increase in the cost of supply of power by the electric utilities. However, it is also recognized that by using appropriate control strategies in these systems the cost of supply may be reduced relative to that of electric resistance heating systems. Control strategies for solar heating systems and for off-peak heat storage systems have been developed and investigated in terms of utility cost of supply for the year 1990. This paper includes a discussion of results obtained for off-peak storage systems, solar heating systems, and combined solar and off-peak systems for the area served by Public Service Co. of New Mexico.

The increasing integration of renewable energies into the grid is calling for the expansion of the power transport capacities in the distribution system. Yet, the expansion of the grid could require long authorization procedures and cannot be always asserted. Therefore, a higher utilization of the existing grid is becoming increasingly necessary today. This paper proposes a new time series-based planning method for distribution systems using classical grid expansion instruments as well as innovative planning instruments such as battery storage systems (BSS) and dynamic power curtailment (DPC). These planning instruments could be applied individually or combined. The aim of the BSS and DPC application is to enable a higher utilization of the grid at minimal costs. The proposed method, which has been implemented as an automated planning algorithm, determines the cost-optimal grid reinforcement measures that ensure the prevention of prognosticated congestions in the considered grid. Furthermore, the application of the proposed planning method on the considered power system has proven that a combination of BSS and grid expansion could be more economical than an individual application of BSS and grid expansion.

Maize is known to be an important crop for food security in developing countries; and farmers have continued to experience post-harvest losses which lead to reduction in the quality or quantity of maize grains. The main causes of post-harvest losses are the storage insect, pests, improper drying and poor storage systems. Poor storage accounts for 5-10% loss and 5% loss is attributed to insect attacks. This research modified a one tonne metallic silo with the aim of studying the effects on moisture content and hectolitre weight of the maize grains. The moisture content was determined using moisture meter while the hectolitre weight was determined using extruded brass material. The study lasted for six months and analyses were carried out on the data collected using Duncan multiple range tests at 95% level of confidence. The moisture content was observed to reduce from 13.5% to 11.4% w.b while hectoliter weight which is the main determinant of the market value of the grain was observed to increase from 276 kg/ml to 288 kg/ml, this implies that there was increase in the cost value of the grain after six month of storage. The results showed that variations in moisture content along storage period were significant at (p ≤ 0.05).
