Comparative Analysis of the Environmental Impacts of Renewable Electricity Generation Technologies in Rwanda

In India, wind energy production has increased at a rapid rate in the last few years due to recent advancements and inventions of new technologies in the field of wind energy. Assessment of wind power is the crucial step and most time-consuming for wind farm set up at any location across the globe. This quantitative research is aimed at evaluating the feasibility of wind to electricity production at an altitude of 10, 50, 100, and 150 m at four locations, namely Bhopal, Ujjain, Indore, and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh. Twice a day recorded wind speed of previous five years (Jan 2013-Dec 2017) at 10 m height, acquired from a local meteorological office, were utilized to get the corresponding wind power density available by means of the two-parameter Weibull distribution technique. After a thorough analysis of wind power assessment of four studied locations, the lowermost and uppermost wind power density was noticed, as 0.82 and 380 W/m2 for Jabalpur and Indore locations, respectively, in Madhya Pradesh. The research provides the evidence in a quantitative way for decision-making for the installation of the wind turbines for the electric current generation.

In the present paper, a conical cavity receiver is designed and analyzed for a 16 m2 Scheffler dish concentrator. The optimum aperture diameter of conical cavity receiver is estimated using ray-tracing SolTrace software. The optimum aperture diameter of the conical cavity receiver for 16 m2 Scheffler dish was found to be 0.4 m. Also, thermal and fluid flow analysis is performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, Ansys Fluent. The different parameters such as receiver temperature, heat losses, pressure drop, Nusselt number, and pumping power are analyzed. The maximum thermal efficiency was found to be 64% at receiver surface temperature 85°C and ambient temperature 25°C. Also, maximum pumping power required to circulate a flow through the receiver is found to be 1.03 W for 0.04 kg/s flow rate.
