Conversion of Heat Absorbed (Waste Heat) in a Building for Electricity Generation Using a Thermoelectric Generator

By Muhammed Okoliko Ibrahim, Abbas Adamu, Abdullahi Adamu Mazadu, Paul Thomas Muge, and Isaac Jato

Abstract: This study investigates the feasibility of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for recovering waste heat from building systems and converting it into electrical energy through the Seebeck effect. A journal-scale simulation framework integrating ANSYS thermal modeling with MATLAB/Simulink electrical analysis was developed to evaluate TEG deployment on building envelope surfaces at the Federal Polytechnic Nyak Shendam, Nigeria.…

Energy Transition for Sustainable Development in Saudi Arabia: Renewable Energy Growth and Emission Reduction

By Ali Q. Al-Shetwi

Abstract: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is undergoing a major shift toward sustainability under Vision 2030, targeting 58.7 GW of renewable energy (RE) by 2030 and major green hydrogen projects, such as NEOM’s 4 GW plant, to cut oil use by 500,000 barrels daily and achieve net-zero emissions by 2060. This review provides a comprehensive…

Entropy and Efficiency: Thermodynamic Insights into Sustainable Energy Technologies

By Aditya Sahu

Abstract: The transition toward sustainable energy systems requires a deeper understanding of the thermodynamic principles that govern energy conversion and utilization. Entropy and efficiency are central to this discussion, as they define the limits of performance and highlight the irreversibility inherent in real processes. This paper examines the role of entropy generation in renewable energy technologies,…

Pyrolysis of Agro Wastes for Renewable Energy Production in Shendam Local Government Using Aspen-Plus and Monte-Carlo

By Isaac Jato, Pyokpang Adamu Gyenvwot, Kabir Garba, Maryam Ibrahim, Babatunde M. O, and Lawal Jibril Imam

Abstract: The global decline in fossil fuel availability, coupled with increasing concerns over climate change, has accelerated the search for sustainable and decentralized energy solutions. Agro-waste, particularly lignocellulosic food waste, has shown great promise as an alternative energy feedstock. This study explores the potential of pyrolysis technology for onsite energy production using fruit-based food waste collected…

Solar-Based Battery Management System (BMS) And SOC Development

By Jitendra Kumar Srivastava and Abhinav Awasthi

Abstract: The safety, efficiency, and longevity of batteries which are the most common with solar panels require a battery management system (BMS). Among the key functions of the BMS is to measure the State of Charge (SOC) of the battery which is a measure of the energy left in the battery. It is the exact value…
