Entropy and Efficiency: Thermodynamic Insights into Sustainable Energy Technologies
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, including solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, bioenergy, and advanced energy storage systems. By applying exergy analysis, …

Design and Analysis of Low Voltage DC Grid for Domestic Supply
Abstract: The fast development of DC power based devices has led to increased involvement of AC to DC converters. A large scale research work is being conducted on increasing the efficiency of these converters to save energy. But DC microgrids are significantly more energy efficient when implemented with distributed generation or on-site generation from photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, fuel cells or micro turbines. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of …

Transient Analysis of self excited Induction generator with ELC
Abstract: — Fast depletion of fossil fuels has drawn attention towards the use of nonconventional energy sources like wind, biomass, tidal/wave, and small hydro potential. In remote locations, harnessing of electrical energy from such local resources can be cheaper and easier compared to grid connection, which involves long transmission lines and associated losses. A micro-hydro system using natural hydro potential with minimal civil works is a strong candidate in this race. …
