The building’s roof, which has low thermal conductivity, is a significant contributor to meet the requirements of energy-efficient buildings in various climatic conditions. In a bid to mitigate energy consumption and achieve thermal comfort, several countermeasures have been suggested. Green and thermally insulated roofs are presented in this paper. Experimental research and numerical simulation analysis applied to a school building in Gaza Strip. This research is the first of its kind in this geographical area. The experiment using design builder 6.1.0.006 software is conducted to compare four types of roofs (a traditional roof, a traditional roof with thermal insulation, a green roof, and a green roof with thermal insulation) during all seasons of the year (hot-humid summer, cool winter, and equinoxes). The research aimed to determine which of the roofs would give more thermal comfort. Essential parameters of green roofs, such as leaf area index (LAI) and soil depth, are also set at different values to determine their effects. It is found that the thermal performance of green roof with thermal insulation is the best throughout the year, as it offers the best PMV values. In addition, higher LAI is the key to maximize energy savings in hot humid season but it increases energy consumption in cold seasons, and higher soil depth is the solution to reduce energy consumption in the cold season, but it has a negative effect in hot and warm seasons.

The unity power factor is attained when both the displacement and distortion factors are unity by having a sinusoidal current waveform that is in phase with the line voltage. This paper proposes using Fuzzy Logic Controllers (FLC) to achieve a unity power factor in three-phase induction motor drive applications. Cascade controller loops are used to monitor and control the converter current and the voltage. The proposed control technique is evaluated under different operational conditions, where the dc converter voltage and load are varied. The simulation results show that the unity power factor operation of the boost converter for the induction motor has a fast response and good dynamic performance.

The limited availability of clean water resources in Gaza Strip is due to the increasing salinity of groundwater, which is due to unbalanced consumption. Furthermore, the increase in the poverty level among the people and the lack of fossil fuel resources, and the high intensity of solar radiation in the strip have grabbed the attention of the authors to think about a suitable alternative to produce potable water via solar energy. This study aims to investigate the linear Fresnel collector (LFC) coupled with a solar still-single effect active system. The solar still was designed to match the LFC output to avoid any heat losses that may decrease the system’s effectiveness. A CFD simulation was carried out using Ansys Fluent software to predict temperature and pressure distributions to find out the efficiency of the LFC collector. The results showed that the use of LFC leads to an increase in the efficiency of the solar still, and the daily production of distilled water reaches 1.5 $mathrm{Litre}/mathrm{m}^{2}$.

Bangladesh has had serious electrical issues due to the fast depletion of petroleum reserves over the past several years. Bangladesh ought to look at additional sources of energy. The wind has the capability to resolve the problem. A fantastic and cost-free source of renewable energy is the wind. Bangladesh has a lengthy coastline where there is consistent wind throughout the year. It requires numerous trends throughout the year. The various areas of Bangladesh’s wind flow rates are studied statistically in this study. It is demonstrated that approximately BDT 11 is required per kWh of electricity generation, albeit this number will decrease for the long-run projects after calculating the expense of installing and executing wind power plants. The price contrast is explored in relation to the price of producing power in Bangladesh from various sources. Additionally, the viability of building up wind turbines in Bangladesh is investigated as well.

The limited availability of clean water resources in Gaza strip referred to the increase of the salinity of groundwater due to pumping and unbalanced consumption, the severe shortage of electricity. Thus, the proposed work is to use solar energy to generate electricity and distilled water for drinking or agricultural improvement. System was designed from parabolic solar trough and coupled with a steam turbine with a dc generator and custom designed distillation device (solar still-single effect active system). The incoming solar radiation from the sun is focused and concentrated onto a receiver pipe using a parabolic trough, heating the incoming water, then the pure water turns into high pressure steam, the steam with high energy flows and hits the impulse turbine via nozzle, turbine convert potential energy to kinetic energy for generating electricity by DC Generator, then the exhaust steam with low energy that remaining after the turbine is take place at heat exchanging process in the solar still for increasing impure water temp. to make evaporation process as quick as possible, that’s guarantee process efficiency, ultimately, the steam after H.E get back liquid and return to the water source as a close cycle system.

This paper illustrates the use of two distinct control strategies. Namely, the Sliding Mode Control (SMC) and a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) controller to monitor and handle the suspension system vibrations that occurred. We used a half car suspension model with (4DOF). The necessary suspension performance attributes, such as ride comfort, suspension deflection and car handling require a comprehensive control system. Three components make up this control system, which is carried out using the MATLAB application: the controller, the suspension system model, and input signals (road profile and actuator force). A comparison of the half car active suspension system LQR and SMC controllers as well as the uncontrolled suspension system is presented.

This study is relevant to the efforts being made to support the Libyan state achieve its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions since Libya is one of the countries that ratified the Paris Agreement of 2015 and participated in the COP27 conference. Therefore, this research aims to estimate the amounts of Co2 emitted from Libyan power industry sector. The results presented in this research is based on real measured data that had been collected over long periods of time series by monitoring and control systems of the considered power plants. Thus, the presented here Co2 emission factors on different basis can be considered as an indicator to the environmental situation of the power industry sector of Libyan State. The methodology used in this study can be adopted to estimate other air pollutions emission factors in the power sector or even in other sectors. The results were also compared with emission inventories published by environmental agencies such as IPCC, EAA, EAI, and EEM, as well as the standards set by UNFCCC. This research sounds the alarm that the current environmental situation of the stations is much worse than all expectations, and therefore scientists and decision-makers must take immediate measures to reduce pollution in this sector.

Nanoparticle doped Quantum dots are novel materials which play an essential role on enhancing Solar cells efficiency. The focus of this work is on investigating the effect of adding CdS quantum dots doped with Ag nanoparticles layer into the solar cell structure. Then, comparison will be made between the performance of Ag doped CdS quantum dots doped and undoped CdSe quantum dots solar cells. The proposed solar cell structure comprises $mathrm{F}mathrm{T}mathrm{O}/mathrm{T}mathrm{i}mathrm{O}_{2}/mathrm{A}mathrm{g}$-doped $mathrm{C}mathrm{d}mathrm{S}$ quantum dots/Iodide-Triiodide $(mathrm{I}^{-}/mathrm{I}^{-3})/$Platinum. The transmittance, reflectance and absorbance power are analytically studied using transverse matrix method and numerically calculated using Maple. The transmittance, reflectance and absorbance power is studied for different fractions of Ag nanoparticle and different CdSe quantum dots concentrations. Results show that the absorbance power increases as the fraction of Ag nanoparticles increases. In particular, there is a clear peak around 700 nm. However, absorbance hardly changes as quantum dots fraction changes. Thus, we recommend our study to be considered to improve the performance of solar cell.
