This research was made to study the feasibility of methane generation from swine manure and water hyacinth (Eichhornia Crassipes [Mart.] Solms) under mesophilic conditions. The component of Eichhornia Crassipes [Mart.] Solms was analyzed before pretreatment that was 21.47% cellulose, 14.98% hemicellulose and 9.88% lignin respectively. Eichhornia Crassipes [Mart.] Solms was pre-treated by using the physical pre-treatment and physicalchemical pre-treatment method. The experiment was batch-test operated within forty days of fermentation when incubated at 37 °C. The highest methane production was obtained from water hyacinth physical pre-treatment with a swine manure ratio of 50:50, Hmax 490 ml, Rmax 0.90 ml h-1 and a yield of 135 ml CH4/ g TVS removal respectively. In terms of physicalchemical pre-treatment for water hyacinth, the highest methane production was obtained with water hyacinth to swine manure 50:50 ratio with Hmax 290 ml, Rmax 0.59 ml h-1 and a yield of 130 ml CH4/ g TVS removal respectively. These results showed that the physical pre-treatment method was suitable as a water hyacinth pretreatment for methane production. In terms of economic feasibility, it was evaluated that the cost, net present value (NPV), a benefit to cost ratio (B/C ratio) and payback period (PBP) were 64.27 USD, 12,116.60, 10.52 and thirteen months respectively. Finally, this research will be useful for aquatic invasive species management and biogas production.

Abstract This paper presents the techno-economic feasibility analysis of an on-grid Photovoltaic Solar System (PVSS) subject to Mediterranean climate aging effects. The PVSS under study is considered installed on the roof of Shymkent airport, located in southern Kazakhstan. A PVSS performance degradation rate of 1.48%-per-annun was considered according to the Mediterranean climate prevailing in the location. A 25-year life-cycle cost analysis comparing the rated vs de-rated on-grid PVSS led to a positive Net Present Value (NPV), a less than 9-year equity payback, and favorable internal rate of return (IRR) and Benefit to Cost Ratio (BCR) in both conditions. The analysis demonstrates that despite the expected performance degradation associated to climatic aging, a convenient feed-in tariff (FIT) and attractive financial conditions, such as those present in Kazakhstan, conform a robust setting to promote on-grid PVSS in the country.

Abstract : Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Bali in 2013, the population density in the Metropolitan area SARBAGITA (Denpasar-Badung-Gianyar-Tabanan) was 1.057 inhabitants/km2 with an area of 1.753,63 km2 and population was 1.853.017 inhabitants. Availability of facilities and adequate transportation infrastructure is needed, but in fact the performance of roads in the city center has declined. It is characterized by an increase in travel delay problem. Traffic delay problems in the City of Denpasar commonly occur on the stretch of Gatot Subroto street. To minimize the existing problems, Denpasar City Government plans to develop an underpass at the intersection of Gatot Subroto street and Ahmad Yani street. The aim of this study was to analyze the direct benefits of underpass for road users, to analyze the costs necessary to realize and operate the underpass, and to analyze the economic feasibility of the underpass development investment. Based on primary data and secondary data were obtained from government agencies, the method of analysis in this study used the technique of Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Economic analysis conducted in this study used three criteria (NPV, BCR and IRR) with three interest rates (12%, 15% and 18% per year) stating that the construction of an underpass was economically feasible. For example in the second scenario where the interest rate 15% gain on the analysis of value NPV, BCR and IRR respectively is Rp. 233.462.340.102,00; 1,948 and 30,81%. Suggestions can be submitted from this research is the need to contemplate the effect of changes in land use in areas close to the area around the underpass and needed further study that takes into account the needs of additional traffic lanes.

The economic feasibility of solar wall system was assessed with RETScreen software for 15 widespread locations in northern China heating region. Several different economic and financial indicators were calculated, such as the internal rate of return, net present value, simple payback and benefit-cost ratio. Results showed that the solar wall system was only profitable for four sites according to the current domestic price of solar wall plate and its absorptivity. When the price was reduced or the absorptivity under the condition of invariable price was improved, there were more sites profitable for this system. So, only when the price of energy increases 95% or the price of solar wall plate falls 50%, the solar wall system will be profitable for all sites in northern China heating region.
