Abstract The study evaluates the visibility of solar photovoltaic power plant construction for electricity generation based on a 20 MW capacity. The assessment was performed for four main cities in Iraq by using hourly experimental weather data (solar irradiance, wind speed, and ambient temperature). The experimental data was measured for the period from 1st January to 31st December of the year 2019, where the simulation process was performed at a 1 h time step resolution at the same resolution as the experimental data. There are two positionings considered for solar photovoltaic modules: (i) annual optimum tilt angle and (ii) two-axis tracking system. The effect of the ambient temperature and wind on the overall system energy generated was taken into consideration. The study is targeted at evaluating the potential solar energy in Iraq and the viability of electricity generation using a 20 MW solar photovoltaic power plant. The results showed that the overall performance of the suggested power plant capacity is highly dependent on the solar irradiance intensity and the ambient temperature with wind speed. The current 20 MW solar photovoltaic power plant capacity shows the highest energy that can be generated in the mid-western region and the lowest in the northeast regions. The greatest influence of the ambient temperature on the energy genrated by power plants is observed in the southern regions.

Nigeria has some surface phenomena that indicate the presence of viable geothermal energy. None of these locations have been explored extensively to determine the feasibility of sustainable geothermal energy development for electricity generation or direct heating. In this context, the present study aims to provide insight into the energy potential of such development based on the enthalpy estimation of geothermal reservoirs. This particular project was conducted to determine the amount of energy that can be gotten from a geothermal reservoir for electricity generation and direct heating based on the estimated enthalpy of the geothermal fluid. The process route chosen for this project is the single-flash geothermal power plant because of the temperature (180℃) and unique property of the geothermal fluid (a mixture of hot water and steam that exists as a liquid under high pressure). The Ikogosi warm spring in Ekiti State, Nigeria was chosen as the site location for this power plant. To support food security efforts in Africa, this project proposes the cascading of a hot water stream from the flash tank to serve direct heat purposes in agriculture for food preservation, before re-injection to the reservoir. The flowrate of the geothermal fluid to the flash separator was chosen as 3125 tonnes/hr. The power output from a single well using a single flash geothermal plant was evaluated to be 11.3 MW*. This result was obtained by applying basic thermodynamic principles, including material balance, energy balance, and enthalpy calculations. This particular project is a prelude to a robust model that will accurately determine the power capacity of geothermal power plants based on the enthalpy of fluid and different plant designs.

<em>The need for electricity in Indonesia is very important considering the limited resources and the lack of manpower, making Indonesia desperately need to increase electricity generation. One source of energy that can be converted into electrical energy is tidal barrage using the tidal barrage method. The application of this energy is still very small in Indonesia but there are a number of areas that have the potential to be implemented by the power plant. Tidal power plants that utilize the potential energy contained in the differences in tides and tides of sea water by trapping water in dams and then moving water turbines and when the water turbine is connected to a generator can produce electrical energy. Related to how the output of the generated power can it is known by looking at what height the water level drives the turbine. This type of power plant is environmentally friendly because it does not damage the natural ecosystem and the dam can be used for various activities.</em><em></em>

Double Flash

One of the most important cycles for electricity generation from geothermal energy is the double-flash cycle. Approximately 25% of the total geothermal based electricity generation all over the world comes from double-flash geothermal power plants. In this paper, performance analysis of a hypothetical double-flash geothermal power plant is performed and variations of fundamental characteristics of the plant are examined. In the performance analysis, initially, optimum flashing pressures are determined, and energy and exergy values of the base points of the plant are calculated. In addition, first and second law efficiencies of the power plant are calculated. Main exergy destruction locations are determined and these losses are illustrated in an exergy flow diagram. For these purposes, it is assumed that a hypothetical double-flash geothermal power plant is constructed in the conditions of western Turkey. The geothermal field where the power plant will be built produces geofluid at a temperature of 210°C and a mass flow rate of 200kg∕s. According to simulation results, it is possible to produce 11,488kWe electrical power output in this field. Optimum first and second flashing pressures are determined to be 530kPa and 95kPa, respectively. Based on the exergy of the geothermal fluid at reservoir, overall first and second law efficiencies of the power plant are also calculated to be 6.88% and 28.55%, respectively.

Nowadays, there is increasing importance of the remaining life time estimation of engineering structures. In this work the thermal shock fatigue process induced deterioration of the three different power plant steels was investigated. The tested steels are widely used as steam pipeline base material of power plants. The applied thermal shock fatigue test can model the material degradation due to long term service in high temperature environment. A special AC magnetometer was designed and used for the magnetic measurements at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of BUTE. In this paper a new high sensitivity magnetic measurement is presented for controlling the thermal shock fatigue deterioration. This measurement technique was developed for non-destructive testing of pipelines and pressure vessels of steam power plants.

The Ultimate Heat Sink (UHS) is a large body of water supply that can be used to cool vital nuclear power plant systems during normal operation and for accident conditions. Due to more stringent environmental and water permit requirements, many new nuclear design proposals have selected the relatively smaller sized mechanical-draft cooling tower with a basin for their UHS. UHS sizing analysis is a critical licensing task for some new generation nuclear power plants Combined Operating License Applications (COLA). In this paper, a potential UHS is sized for a representative new generation nuclear power plant considering worst case design inputs and modeling assumptions. Over 30 years of historical site meteorological data are processed using an automated technique to identify limiting conditions based on resulting worst UHS design parameters, such as the maximum basin evaporative water loss and the highest basin temperature. The impacts of the cooling tower entrance recirculation effect to these design parameters are also investigated. This paper models the transient plant heat loads in detail for various design basis accident conditions. The large-break LOCA heat load is determined to be bounding for the basin evaporative water loss, while a small-break LOCA heat load may result in the highest basin water temperature. This paper also illustrates that the bounding basin water temperature can result when the peak wet bulb temperature is coincident with the peak UHS heat load. The results of this paper are of interest for new generation nuclear power plants as the paper determines impacts of limiting conditions in assessing the design margins for UHS sizing.

Compliance of aircraft with new noise standards defines the tendency to switch to extra-high bypass ratio engines. Substantial noise redistribution has occurred in the aircraft of the new generation. While jet noise has been reduced dramatically, the engine still remains the basic source of noise, which is a fan noise. In the forward hemisphere, beside the discrete components at fan blade frequency, long row of discrete components has been observed around the principal blade frequencies as result of shockwave influence. This phenomenon is called “buzz-saw noise”. Fan shaft frequency reduction is one of the necessary measures for shockwaves control. Due to the decrease of frequency, the vibration spectrum shifts towards the low-frequency range. Such components will determine dynamical impact spectrum of power plant, transmitted through mounting to the airframe construction. An airframe typically possesses dozens of oscillation modes in the low-frequency spectrum part. Interaction of some of them with the influence of power plant may generation of discrete low-frequency high-level noise components in cabin. We have designed a new low frequency attachment containing built-in elastic elements with non-linear characteristics and with quasi-zero stiffness zone at proof load by cruise mode.

The world’s electricity generation has increased with renewable energy technologies such as solar (solar power plant), wind energy (wind turbines), heat energy, and even ocean waves. Iran is in the best condition to receive solar radiation due to its proximity to the equator (25.2969° N). In 2020, Iran was able to supply only 900 MW (about 480 solar power plants and 420 MW home solar power plants) of its electricity demand from solar energy, which is very low compared to the global average. Yazd, Fars, and Kerman provinces are in the top ranks of Iran, with the production of approximately 68, 58, and 47 MW using solar energy, respectively. Iran also has a large area of vacant land for the construction of solar power plants. In this article, the amount of electricity generation using solar energy in Iran is studied. In addition, the construction of a 10 MW power plant in the city of Sirjan is economically and technically analyzed. The results show that with US$16.14 million, a solar power plant can be built in the Sirjan region, and the initial capital will be returned in about four years. The results obtained using Homer software show that the highest maximum power generation is in July.
