A few numbers of demands in the society are as great as non-conventional energy sources. On the other hand almost 2 billion people in this earth shortage of enough sanitation and economic means to yield it. Waste water treatment energy costs are also a pivotal issue. A modern method of renewable energy recovery is mapped by microbial fuel cell. It's like a bio reactor that converts the chemical energy into electricity by using bacteria. However expensive and toxic materials needed to run the electrons from the bacteria to the electrode. Because of high initial cost and low output, government and private companies are not investing money in this sector. In this paper we are working to minimize the cost by using different types of chemical elements with a brief overview of microbial mechanism. We have also implemented a practical model and discussed about the actual data we found from the prototype.

Bangladesh is an agriculture based country, where any edible and non-edible seeds can be grown. As a result biodiesel can be an effective solution to the increasing price and shortage of petroleum fuels. Every year Bangladesh imports about 5.5 million tons of different types of oil. Due to which Bangladesh has to pay a huge currency every year. Karanja, a sustainable source of biodiesel, can be cultivated for the socioeconomic developments of the country. Karanja petrodiesel up to 20% blend with diesel fuel does not require any engine modification and sometimes even gives better performance than pure diesel fuel. It is found that, with the utilization of unused lands about 0.52 million tons of biodiesel can be produced annually. Moreover, the use of biodiesel can reduce CO2, CO, HC, NOx and SOx emissions compared to pure diesel.

In this paper, a study has been made on the cost and performance analysis of wind power plant in the coastal region of Chittagong of Bangladesh using RET Screen software. Till to date, no reliable data on wind power is available on Bangladesh. Very recently, some organizations named BPDB, Bangladesh Metrological Department and CWET of India have taken up projects to study wind potential along the costal belt of Bangladesh. Among them BPDB has taken up several programs named WERM, SWERA and WRAP in the country [1]. As reliable data of wind is not available, proper design on wind power plant is not feasible. As a result, harnessing energy from wind remains a remote possibility. The power development board, Bangladesh (BPDB) installed 50 numbers of turbines in the costal belt of Kutubdia in the year March 2008 [2]. Unfortunately vary little amount of energy could be extracted so far and most of pillars and turbines are rushed and has become inoperative. The main reason for such set back is due to lack of proper feasibility study and reliable data on wind. Taking all those points in serious consideration, author in this paper have tried to collect a reliable data on wind along the costal belt of Chittagong and based on this data, possible power generation from wind is analysed through RET Screen. With this user friendly software, optimum number of units together with cost of energy (COE).

This paper presents a study of the power and energy consumption patterns in off-grid rural areas as learned from the 100kWp Purobi Green Energy Ltd. solar minigrid that has been operating in the Enam Nahar Bazar, Sandwip, Bangladesh for about 5 years. The study reveals the critical applications of energy in the rural areas are for the lighting, fan, refrigeration, communication, and medical purposes. Major share of the energy is consumed by motor based appliances, especially in the commercial sector for businesses whereas lighting, which is the most critical use of energy in rural areas, accounts for the least.

Among the thin film solar cells, CZTSSe is the most promising one. In this article, the performance of CZTSSe solar cell with different potential buffer layers for different mole fractions of S of CZTSSe has been numerically investigated. It has been found that ZnSe buffer layer provides better performance in terms of efficiency than others within 0.7 mole fraction of S of CZTSSe. Above this value ZnO and ZnS both provide almost identical performance. The obtained results might be helpful in developing CZTSSe thin film solar cells by using proper mole fraction of sulfur in CZTSSe which has the potential to provide higher efficiency.

As a sustainable and alternative source of renewable energy, utilization of solar power has become immensely popular nowadays. In Bangladesh, there are more than 4 million SHSs which have been installed till January, 2015 [1]. Under this Solar Home System (SHS) program of IDCOL, there are a number of partner organizations (PO), providing their supports for establishing remote rural area electrification program under SHS. Solar charge controller plays crucial role and ensures reliability, better performance and durability of the installed systems. By complying with the standards of the solar charge controller (CC), one can make SHS program durable and feasible for rural electrification program. Therefore, Centre for Energy Research (CER) of United International University (UIU) designed a portable charge controller tester which can measure the parameters according to the set standards of the solar charge controller of IDCOL. By this solar charge controller tester (SCT), LVD, HVD, LVR, HVR, charging & discharging efficiencies can be measured with testing of reverse polarity protection, reverse current leakage protection etc. The main focus of this paper is to highlight the salient features of the designed solar charge controller tester. A number of charge controllers were tested with the implemented SCT and the test results found to be highly satisfactory and the accuracy of measurement was within one percent.

Sustainable energy planning endeavor includes choosing among various energy alternatives on the basis of multiple sustainability indicators. The conventional methods like the technical feasibility or cost benefit analysis is not sufficient to incorporate all the elements of an environmentally sound energy plan. A sustainable selection of the energy alternatives considers social and environmental criteria along with technical and economic. Therefore, the sustainable selection provides a different result than the conventional one. Multiple criteria decision analysis can operate with a wide range of sustainability indicators and provide a valid decision support for choosing among alternatives based on the goal and scope of the study. In this study, a Waste-to-Energy option is chosen for a cement industry located in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The sustainability indicators are identified and ranked based on the interview taken from three decision makers. Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process method is adopted which utilized the subjective judgments taken from three decision makers to assign the relative weight values for the sustainability indicators. Finally these relative weight values are utilized to compare a set of Waste-to-Energy alternatives and find the best solution by adopting TOPSIS method.

A comparative study of total power losses and efficiency of a silicon carbide based three phase inverter with silicon base is analyzed and studied. The efficiency of the silicon carbide based inverters based on Semi-south manufactured device is found to be about 99%, and is more efficient than known conventional silicon based inverters, especially at high frequency.

Co-sensitization of triple dyes for panchromatic absorption is rare in literature, here we present a dye sensitized solar cell (DSSCs) co-sensitized with molecular engineered organic butyloxyl chain induced Y1 dye, bodipy dye TP2A, and squaraine based dye SQ1. The co-sensitized TP2A+SQ1 showed efficiency of 5.60%. This co-sensitized triple dies shows a wide range of absorption spectrum from 300nm-800nm region under 1 sunlight illumination (100 mW/cm2) in DSSCs operation. By controlling the volumetric ratio a high photocurrent density (JSC) of 14.59 mAcm-2 and 0.703 fill factor were achieved. This yielded to an impressive efficiency of 6.21% for Y1+TP2A+SQ1 co-sensitized dyes, which is higher than that of each individual dyes. It was also observed that the efficiency of co-sensitized triple dyes is higher than co-sensitized of TP2A+SQ1 in solar cells.
