Abstract: | |
Energy plays an important role in almost all areas of human and commercial activities. Electricity generation through the non-renewable sources is quite common to meet the demand of the growing population and developing world. But the non-renewable energy sources are not expedient from ecological point of view and also responsible for producing major greenhouse gas (GHG) and promote global warming. These impediments forces to look for other clean and cheap sources for energy generation. The current concern on the global environment has imposed restraints on the production of electricity. The emphasis is put on the development of environmental friendly methods to promote the sustainable social development. It is in these circumstances, that micro hydro power is drawing more attention. The deployment of these technologies not only contributes to a significant percentage of carbon dioxide emission reduction, but also aids to reduce energy consumption and mitigate environmental impact. The need for such eco-friendly technologies in buildings has underpinned significant increases in the application of wind-driven ventilation techniques. This includes turbine ventilator, a wind-driven ventilation device or air extractor that is commonly used in attic, rooftop spaces or loft to facilitate ventilation, control high energy consumption, and improve indoor environment. In order to gain a deeper understanding into existing knowledge in this field, this paper discusses low carbon technology concept and characteristics of turbine ventilator. Furthermore, physical and operating parameters that influence its performance are also discussed. This study focuses on the technical, theoretical and financial analysis of a hydro power plant, which is considered as dependable and sustainable among all other forms of renewable energy. Hydropower energy is broadly used all over the world, whether in the form of mini hydro for a single village or a massive dam to serve the entire country. Industrialized countries have utilized their hydro potential extensively. Under the present investigation, performance analysis of a commercial centrifugal pump provided with movable guide vanes to improve part load efficiency in turbine mode has been carried out using Computational Fluid Dynamic. Complete model for simulation was prepared using Pro-E 2.0 and mesh was generated using ANSYS ‘MESH’. Simulation was carried out for different guide vanes positions using ANSYS ‘FLUENT’. Operating characteristics for modified good agreement has been found between the numerical and experimental results. |
