Within a period of two years, the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) lost a total of six grounding transformers in a particular substation. The situation created a lot of instability and resulted in huge productivity losses to both the company and its customers. The failures were believed to be related to wrong selection of grounding transformer rating. However, using the concept of capacitive charging current of a system, it was found that the short time rating of the grounding transformers were rightly selected. Analysis of the phenomenon strongly linked the damages to protection deficiency. This paper discusses analysis of the problem and proposes decision criteria for selecting a grounding transformer.

Wind power presented a remarkable growth in the first decade of the 21st century, highly sustained by the economical and ecological benefits of this technology. Not only has it significantly contributed to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels in the production of electrical energy, wind power has also allowed to save great amounts of greenhouse gases emissions. This growth leads to an inevitable also increasing impact of the wind energy - electrical energy produced making use of the wind resource - in the electrical system, which raises issues like network stability and the assurance of the supply to all loads connected to the electrical grid. An accurate forecast of the available wind energy for the forthcoming hours helps to perform a good planning and scheduling of the network, which minimizes the risks of this impact. Also, with the liberalization of the electrical markets worldwide, the wind power forecasting reveals itself important in order for the developers to estimate the correct bids to place in the respective market. This work addresses the issue of forecasting wind with two statistical models, the Autoregressive Moving Average and Artificial Neural Networks, making use of historical wind speed data. The basics of forecasting with these models are presented, and their forecasting performance is compared in two different case studies. Similar criteria are defined in order to adjust the required settings in both models. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the performance and the results obtained, considering the available data and the differences between the inherent characteristics to both models.

Lateral vibrations are known to be the most destructive type of vibrations affecting rotary drilling. A whirling drill bit is one of the most prominent outcomes of lateral vibrations. Hence, it is imperative to research methodologies to minimize the drill bit whirl in order to maximize rotary drilling efficiency. Drill bit whirl can be either due to a bend drill string or due to the effect of an unbalanced drill bit. Both the cases lead to an in homogenous borehole which leads to increase in severity of the vibrations. This paper presents an analysis of the controllability of the drill bit whirl in bend drill pipes. Experimental tests conducted are analyzed and presented. The bit whirl due to drill bit bend is discussed as a probable special case of an under actuated system. A few typical under actuated system control issues are presented and the applicability of controllability solutions to the bend drill string whirl problem is discussed.

Addressing concerns about security of energy supply, sustainability and climate change drives the shift towards greener economies based on a combination of energy efficiency and renewable energy systems. Although this transition is accelerating, many economic and technical challenges remain. The development of hybrid energy systems that combine two or more renewable sources have the potential to provide more cost effective and reliable renewable energy fraction when the appropriate size and combination of systems are utilized. This paper presents a methodology that employs artificial intelligence tools for data analysis in order to design and optimize systems that deliver low grade thermal energy to buildings and industrial applications operating in the Irish cool marine climate. The methodology uses measured weather and thermal energy consumption data from both a public building and an industrial process between 2008 and 2009. Results demonstrate significant capital cost reduction with multi-source hybrid systems and improved performance.

The following research is an effort to develop design principles for coastal tourist settlements depending on the relationship between the shape of a site, to its location and to its orientation. For that purpose, we use a figurative tourist complex as a comparison tool, covering typical cases of tourist development in coastal zones. The analysis is based on the principles of passive bioclimatic design using computer simulation processes. More specifically, by combining the ACAD software with the A-Lisp programming software, we produced the software called ROUTINA BIOCLIMA which dismantles and analyzes the digitized road network. The study, by considering the orientation of the streets as the primary factor, comes up with estimations about the quality of the built environment and the daylight distribution, in addition to conclusions about design decisions for the configuration of the touristic settlement in relation to the geomorphology of the soil, the duration and the intensity of local winds, the humidity and the amount of rainfall in the area in which it belongs to, as well as its relation to the waterfront.

This paper reveals effect of variation of natural and forced convection heat losses on performance of prototype parabolic dish collector with black nickel chrome coated receiver. In general, concentrated solar collectors have high efficiency as compared to flat plate and parabolic trough type solar collectors. Therefore for water heating application high efficiency can be achieved. Design of solar parabolic dish collector consists of truncated cone shaped helical coiled receiver made up of copper at focal point. This prototype was evaluated for its performance during month of April and May 2010.

Renewable Energy Resources are best practices possible today to stand against increasingly risk of climate changes and global warming of the world and the most important sources of such types of resources of energies can be Wind and Solar energies which are most the efficient relatively. These clean power resources are used as in Distributed Generation (DGs) units technology to be defined as newer sources of power, which are in direct relation with the use of micro and smaller in capacity power generating units that are installed in distribution part of each power combined system or all the possible locations that loads and energy consumers are concentrated. Hybrid systems are of different states. One of the practices possible to provide these hybrids is combination of grid connected wind turbines and solar photovoltaic generators that together each could sit instead of the other one in a grid connection state when one of them cannot generate the required electricity for consumption by load properly. Moreover, Solar cells can generate the electricity required in the day while wind turbines can compensate the needs in the night by wind energy. This is exclusively where solar cells have gained more important effects in electricity generation of the world. They are consisting of a sort of assembly of different cells together to form a flat photovoltaic system to absorb the photons and generate electricity by electrons energized in the circuit. On the other hand, Systems for conversion of energy of wind, use Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators that are usually installed to generate electricity. Recently, wind turbines are even improved to VSD drives from constant speed generators which provides the machine the ability of generation based on cases that rotational speed varies with changes in speed of wind and that means better contributions for flexibility. These simplified hybrid systems are provided and Simulations are done to confirm expectation outcomes of this connection.

Ethylene glycol (EG) synthesis from dimethyl oxalate (DMO) hydrogenation is a sustainable method compared with the production by petrochemical technology. The Cu/ZnO/SiO2 catalysts prepared by deposition precipitation method have been characterized by XRD, SEM, H2-TPR, and N2 physisorption. Under optimum reaction conditions, a DMO conversion of 100% and EG selectivity of 98% was obtained on the CuZn-5 catalyst. The present work also demonstrates a feasibility method to produce ethanol from DMO hydrogenation. On the catalyst of CuZn-15, the conversion of DMO can reach to 99% with the ethanol selectivity of 64% under the optimized reaction conditions.
