—The effect of change of ambient temperature on energy demand for cooling or heating can be estimated using degree days. In this work, cooling degree days were computed from hourly dry bulb temperature data of eighteen locations spread over the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The raw hourly dry bulb temperature data which were obtained from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), Oshodi, Lagos for fifteen years of either 1994 -2008 or 1995 – 2009, were digitized and then analysed to obtain cooling degree days using the following base temperatures: 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29 and 30°C. The minimum and maximum annual cooling degree days for all base temperatures were obtained for Jos and Sokoto, respectively. For a base temperature of 22°C, the annual cooling degree days obtained ranged between 18.18 and 2429°C-day. Fourteen out of eighteen locations had their highest monthly cooling degree days in March, three other locations had theirs in May and only one has its own highest in April. The lowest monthly cooling degree days were obtained in August for all the locations. The results obtained in this work are useful for energy management in Nigeria and it may also be useful in other countries with cities having similar climate to the locations considered in this work.

Indonesia is facing a huge pressure from increasing the demand of energy due high economic growth and a growing middle income population. The increase in oil consumption cannot be matched by domestic production, since 2004 Indonesia has been recorded as an importer of crude oil. Meanwhile, the development of new and renewable energy has not gone as expected. Indonesia as an archipelago with a coastline of more than 80 thousand kilometers has great potential in developing alternative energy made from seaweed raw materials. Abundant seaweed production in Indonesia has the potential to be developed as an alternative energy in the future. The advantage of seaweed as a renewable energy comes from the relatively fast production of seaweed, there is no competition in agricultural land, and low emissions (clean energy). This study aims to determine the potential of seaweed as a renewable energy source and find alternative fiscal policies for its development into renewable energy, especially from seaweed. The methodology used is descriptive exploration in the form of descriptions and explanations about the phenomena that occur in the development of seaweed as an alternative to renewable energy in Indonesia. Incentives for seaweed farmers can be provided through government spending in the form of subsidies or social assistance for planting seaweed that absorbs carbon. Meanwhile, seaweed bioethanol producers can be given tax incentives for creating low-emission fuels especially those made from seaweed.

Africa, with its highly growing population, is in need for environmentally-friendly solutions to meet its food and energy needs. Solar-operated irrigation systems can be used in Egypt where there is no source of electricity and limited access to water. The aim of this paper is to present energy and cost analysis for a simulation of a solar-powered pumping system in Egypt using HOMER software. Experimental work is also carried out, in the GUC campus, for a solar-powered irrigation system which conserves water and energy through the use of soil moisture sensor to regulate the pump flow. The excess energy from the PV is used to power electric loads. Results of the simulation show that the maximum energy generation and consumption occur during the summer season. The annual net energy purchased from the grid is 408 kWh after applying the net metering system. The inverter has the highest initial capital and replacement costs. For the experiments, the irradiance values range from 270 W/m2 to 1450 W/m2 and the panel’s temperature from 15 °C to 60 °C. The power output from the PV panel ranges from 3W to 30W depending on the solar irradiance and ambient temperature. The proposed water pumping system proved to be feasible and successful in conserving water and energy in Egypt.

Abstract —Wind energy is one of the highest efficiency in renewable energy. Unfortunately, wind energy was not developed much in Thailand because the average wind speed of the city area is limited to the medium-low range which makes wind energy unsuitable for power generation. Recently, there are the researches tried to apply the wind turbine to wind source besides the bus. According to a large amount of vehicles transport from upcountry into the city 5n Thailand, wind energy can be considered as the potential energy only if the turbine can operate the high efficiency. With this reason, the object of this project focuses on the efficiency factors of a wind turbine to be able to use in low-speed wind energy especially wind that source by the passenger car includes designing and developing wind turbine for propeller’s efficiency increasing. This project used 200-Watt Savonius wind turbine to experiment with the effect of 1) weight of propeller, 2) material of propeller, and 3) swept area of the propeller to the efficiency of the wind turbine. The research and experiment yield the results that all factors are affecting to RPM, electric power and efficiency of Savonius wind turbine. This project can increase the efficiency of small wind turbine about 26% for use in low-speed wind sources.

Energy efficiency services and programs are essential in the energy transition, but these are often costly and have low uptake rates. This paper proposes a customer segmentation methodology for energy efficiency solutions, which characterizes customers according to similarities of demographic factors and identifies key customer segments more engaged with offers. This allows for tailoring of energy efficiency solutions. The methodology is applied to datasets from the post-pilot survey results of three energy efficiency demonstrations in Austria, Italy and Sweden as a part of the Horizon 2020 FLEXICIENCY project. The segmentation results show that Environmentalists and Rationalists are the dominant groups with higher usage and satisfaction rates. It furthermore concludes that, based on the Swedish case study, Environmentalists followed by Rationalists have greater achievement of energy savings through energy efficiency services, 4,73% and 4,04% respectively over one year.

The objectives of this study are to show how significantly Vehicle to Grid (V2G) systems are affecting the lifetime of the electric vehicle batteries. In V2G use, electric power is flowing from the power grid to the electric vehicle batteries and from the batteries to the power grid. Using direct real-time control of the grid operator, batteries are charged, providing V2G balance and frequency regulation to the grid. In this research, two different types of cells were used to investigate how the V2G charge limits affect the battery lifetime. Battery aging model is previously used to calculate lifetime and cost of V2G use. This research increases knowledge by comparing two different types of battery cells. Batteries are expensive and lifetime increase is one solution to reduce costs. The results indicate that battery management can optimize battery use with longer battery life. The main goal of the manuscript is to receive a longer battery life. As a result, lifetime was calculated at four years for A123 Systems’TM cells and 18.27 years for Sanyo’sTM cells. This research connects measurement data, driving data, proposed V2G use to existing battery cycle aging model. For satisfying the scheduled charging, the V2G control is switched to a smart charging control. The V2G concept is found to be as an extension of the smart grid system allowing electric vehicles to be able to inject electricity into the electricity network, acting as distributed generating systems or battery storage systems. As smart charging is an important part of electric vehicle penetration, V2G may provide an important bonus for smart charging procedures. The proposed topic is interesting and worthy of investigation since the impact of V2G operations on battery durability plays an essential role for the convenience of vehicle owners in supporting the electricity network with this kind of ancillary services. Main findings are lifetime reduction is decreased in V2G operations and a lifetime can be extended.

Identification and exploitation of the new energy sources is on the plane of all states wishing to provide security. Energy activities have gained momentum lately, and at the European Union level there is a constant concern in finding new energy solutions that ensure the well-being of the continent. A sector that is increasing in the recent years is the offshore area, where, along with the steps made in substantial research, many economic activities become possible. In this paper we propose to realize a multi-criterial analysis by determining the affordability of a threshold, which we've called ' supportability factor ", an element that can make the difference if an activity is viable or cannot be made. The supportability factor is a tool that can be used both by the planners, decision makers and other stakeholders, and can be used in the analysis of the sustainability of a project in the costal and marine area.

Refined oil, including gasoline, diesel, et al., is an important fuel for transportation and other industries. With the promotion of new energy, the demand for refined oil market has formed a competitive relationship with the alternative energies’ market. It is necessary to design and transform the refined oil supply chain to meet market requirements and ensure the balance of supply and demand. Forecasting the demand of refined oil market is the important basis for designing and transforming the refined oil supply chain. Because BP neural network shows strong adaptability when solving multi-parameter nonlinear problems, this paper proposed a BP neural network model from the analysis of conventional influence factors and special impact factors such as the share of alternative energies’ market. The actual data was tested to prove that the model could reflect the relationship between the market share of alternative energy and the market demand of refined oil. Analysis was given about the future development of the refined oil market and alternative energy based on the experimental results.

Abstract —Energy sources have been crucial for development, but also form the backbone of what is today one of the greatest global challenges. Implementing policies to address simultaneously the three issues of the “energy trilemma” — energy security, energy equity (energy poverty) and environmental sustainability (climate change) — is one of the major challenges for policy makers. Access to and management of countries' natural resources and energy assets have played a central role in national and international politics. This paper examines the influence of the diversity of India's energy matrix on the balance of these three energy issues between 1990-2014. An econometric model confirms that diversity is statistically significant for all other variables. It also shows interesting results when analyzing its effect on each variable individually and on all of them
