The biosurfactants produced by microorganisms have high demand from microbial-enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) and they have focused on a chemical surfactant for the past few decades for degrading petro-based pollutants and oil spills due to its non-toxicity and increasing bioavailability. The study aims to identify and screen potential lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by Paenibacillus species employing a design experiment based on RSM. The bacterial culture was isolated from Chilika Lake, India. The data generated from the biosurfactant stability experiments were used to fit a regression model using the parameters such as ph, temp, and salinity to predict the E24 index. R-squared value 0.91 obtained from the ANOVA model explains that the regression model was significant, and the model p-value obtained was < 0.05 and was also statistically significant. Therefore the statistical regression model obtained in the present investigation can predict the E24 index by using any combination of ph, temp, and salinity parameters. The novel isolates obtained in this research were further named Paenibacillus dendritiformis ANSKLAB02 and deposited in GenBank with accession number KU518891. The growth of this species under controlled conditions has a high potential to help in environmental clean-up and is suitable for use in MEOR applications.

I.INTRODUCTION Energy storage has been a key area of focus in the development of a sustainable energy system. As renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power become more prevalent, there is an increasing need for effective and efficient energy storage solutions. Energy storage systems (ESS) can provide a range of benefits, including grid stability, reliability, and flexibility, as well as improved integration of renewable energy sources. This analysis examines various energy storage technologies, including electrochemical, mechanical, and thermal energy storage systems. The analysis also evaluates the technical, economic, and environmental aspects of energy storage technologies, including the costs and benefits associated with the different systems. The analysis shows that electrochemical energy storage systems, such as batteries, are currently the most widely used form of energy storage technology due to their high efficiency, fast response times, and ability to be easily integrated into existing infrastructure. However, the high cost of batteries remains a significant barrier to their widespread adoption. Mechanical energy storage systems, such as pumped hydro and flywheels, are also viable options for energy storage. While these systems may have lower efficiency than batteries, they are often more cost-effective and can provide long-duration energy storage solutions. Thermal energy storage systems, such as molten salt and phase-change materials, are another promising form of energy storage technology. These systems can provide high-energy density storage solutions with long-duration capabilities, making them suitable for certain applications. The analysis also highlights the importance of policy frameworks and regulatory structures in facilitating the adoption of energy storage technologies. Effective policy measures, such as subsidies and tax incentives, can help reduce the cost of energy storage systems and accelerate their deployment. Overall, this analysis demonstrates that energy storage technologies have significant potential to support the transition to a sustainable energy system. As the costs of energy storage technologies continue to decline, and policy support for their deployment increases, these systems are expected to play an increasingly critical role in the integration of renewable energy sources and the decarburization of the energy sector. Energy storage systems (ESS) have gained significant attention in recent years due to the increasing demand for renewable energy and the need to address the challenges of intermittent energy sources. ESS provides a means of storing energy when it is available and releasing it when it is required. ESS designing and performance measures are crucial to ensure the system's efficient and effective functioning. This paper provides an overview of the design and performance measures of ESS. A. Designing of ESSThe designing of ESS involves several steps that include identifying the purpose of the system, determining the capacity, selecting the appropriate t...
