In the recent years, nanostructured metal oxides have attracted a great interest as a promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Co2.78Mn0.22O4 and Co2.82Mn0.18O4 nanoparticles belonging to Co3-xMnxO4 solid solution, were prepared by a sol-gel synthesis method employing alginate as a gelling agent. Characterized by X-Rays Diffraction (XRD) technique, the material crystallizes in the Fd-3m space group with the cubic spinel. As an anode materials for Li-ion batteries, Co2.78Mn0.22O4 exhibits high initial charge and discharge capacities of 723 and 429 mAh g-1, respectively. A reversible capacity of 418 mAh g-1 was maintained after 50 cycles at 180 mAg-1. Compared to Co2.82Mn0.18O4, Co2.78Mn0.22O4 with high Mncontent exhibits better performances.

The purpose of this study is to define the effect of the Solar Parabolic Concentrator’s rim angle on the quantity of the reflected rays and the concentrated flux of the receiver. Six rim angles $15^{circ}, 25^{circ}, 45^{circ}, 60^{circ}, 75^{circ}$ and 90° have been studied and simulated using Comsol multiphysics which is a numerical simulation software based on the finite element method. A simulation was carried out under genuine states of ambient temperature and direct normal radiation in Rabat. The results show that the best rim angle is $45^{circ}. For$ this optimal value of the rim angle, the obtained concentration ratio is of the order of 71, the average received flux is about 61.13 $kW/m^{2}$ and the maximum temperature at the surface of the receiver is 676° C.

Wind turbines employed today are fabricated from a variety of materials. Many of these materials act as insulators, effectively causing electrons to accumulate. As wind turbines operate, their blades sweep through the air causing friction to occur between the air and blade material. As a substance with the highest positive charge tendency, dry air as such typically found at most land-based wind farms pass their electrons onto the wind turbine blades by means of contact electrification, causing electrostatic accumulation. Unless properly discharged, this static electricity can be harmful to the sensitive electronics found within wind turbines. To further increase the power output of wind turbines in addition to promoting safe equipment operating conditions, this static electricity can be channeled into super capacitors for accumulation and storage. Once sufficient charge is obtained within the super capacitor, this static electricity can then be allocated to the power grid to further improve wind turbine power output. The scope of this research is to analyze the capability of channeling static electricity from wind turbine structural components into a super conductor for transmission into the power grid. This research is intended to (1) assess the means for successfully channeling electrostatic charge within wind turbines, (2) investigate the effect of electrostatic accumulation and discharge within super conductors located inside a wind turbine, and (3) assess the economic impact and feasibility of accumulating and storing static electricity within wind turbines for transmission into the power grid.

The objective of this work is to investigate magnetite storage performances using thermocline packed-bed single tank concept and confront it with the quartzite commonly used as TESM in this area. To achieve this purpose dual phase model for thermal energy storage (TES) is developed for describing heat and masse transfer inside the porous packed-bed contained in the storage tank. After validation, the developed model is used to simulate the thermal behavior discharging process and then to evaluate system performances by calculating discharge efficiency and storage efficiency for two TESMs: magnetite and quartzite coupled with Colza oil as a heat transfer fluid (HTF). This paper presents and discusses results of discharge efficiency and storage efficiency obtained for both TESM and highlights the impact of TESM choice on TES efficiency.

A number of conferences around the world have called to make serious efforts for preserving the environment in order to reduce the aerosols with urban and industrial origin. It is worth pointing out that maximization of the reduction of aerosols in atmosphere is feasible. This allows a gain, in terms of thermal energy in solar power plants. Consequently, the assessment of heat gained by reducing anthropogenic aerosol were achieved to (-5%, -10% and -15%), resulting for each 5% reduction of anthropogenic aerosol make 1% of heat gained against the actual aerosol esteemed as 2.2 of aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 550nm conforming respectively (22.3, 44.7 and 67.4) MW in the solar of heliostat field at Ouarzazate of 1.3 km of the extreme heliostat with 144 m2 of surface for each one. The average of attenuation atmospheric between heliostats and receiver tower is found respectively (9.4%, 8.9% and 8.5%) against 9.9% in the real situation.

In this work, the thermo-hydraulic performance of shell and tube heat exchangers with segmental baffles (STHX) were investigated numerically for different baffle cuts. The heat transfer coefficient and the pressure drop have been considered as key parameters. These two parameters depend on the fluid flow path, which affected by the baffles characteristics (type, spacing, and the baffle cut). Baffles are used to improve heat transfer on the shell-side, but they increase the pressure drop, thus requiring a higher pumping power. This Phenomenon reduces the exchanger efficiency. For this purpose, the influence of different baffle cuts in a STHX on the heat transfer coefficient and the pressure drop were studied. The ratio $displaystyle frac {h_{s}}{Delta _{p}}$ has been taken as a criterion of performance evaluation and the commercial software Ansys-Fluent has been adopted to conduct the simulations. The results show that the heat transfer coefficient and the pressure drop are sensitive to the baffle cut selection. The maximum performance could be obtained with a baffle cut of 25%.

This work involves the synthesis and the characterization of CZTS layers. The films were prepared on ITO/glass substrate by one step electrodeposition technic without using the sulfurization step and compared with CZTS films prepared by sulfurization of electrodeposited Cu-Sn-Zn precursors. By adding Thiourea as a sulfur source and KSCN as a complexing agent, the electrodeposition process can give better results. Therefore, the effect of the sulfur source is investigated. The characterization of the absorber films was done by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), ICP compositional analysis method, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The single step electrodeposition process is suggested to be better than the sulfurization and post-annealing treatment method.
