First generation Bio-fuels produced from food crops and oil seeds are limited to achieve targets for Biodiesel production. Second generation Bio-fuel produced from non-food feed stock such as Micro Algae provides various potential advantages for Bio-fuel production when compared with first generation Bio-fuels. Microalgae can grow on treated sewage and reduce the nutrient load before discharging wastewater. A small model was developed to predict the technical potential of micro-algae bio-fuels in India. The model aims to identify suitable growth locations based on sunlight and local climatic conditions for algal biomass cultivation. The model incorporates realistic limits for light distribution, land use, transmission, photon utilization, photosynthetic efficiencies, and oil content based on literature data. For each scenario of oil fraction and sunlight, the model calculates potential oil yield, biomass produced, and growth rates. This preliminary resource assessment estimates annual algal biomass yield between 159 and 345 metric tons per hectare and 57,000 to 1, 62,000 liters of lipids per hectare based on the solar radiation intensity available in India.

It can be designed to show nonlinear performance. Spring stiffness exhibits nonlinear behavior depending on their role in various applications. This means that the stiffness of the spring is not continual, but governed by the compression. Nonlinear motion arises when the number of active coils of variable compression declines or rises. When coil springs are used as conical springs in dynamic systems, it becomes mandatory to identify the consequence of springs on dynamic performance. This article looks at the nonlinear dynamic behavior of conical springs with higher mass. In this article, coil springs considered have a constant pitch and elasticnature wise.This article compares experimental data for deformations of coil springs taken with those obtained by finite element method.

Large Scale Algae Biomass Production for Biofuels in India

Current Status and Future Prospects during :International Bioenergy Summit, 2013

First generation Bio-fuels produced from food crops and oil seeds are limited to achieve targets for Biodiesel production. Second generation Bio-fuel produced from non-food feed stock such as Micro Algae provides various potential advantages for Bio-fuel production when compared with first generation Bio-fuels. Microalgae can grow on treated sewage and reduce the nutrient load before discharging wastewater. A small model was developed to predict the technical potential of micro-algae bio-fuels in India. The model aims to identify suitable growth locations based on sunlight and local climatic conditions for algal biomass cultivation. The model incorporates realistic limits for light distribution, land use, transmission, photon utilization, photosynthetic efficiencies, and oil content based on literature data. For each scenario of oil fraction and sunlight, the model calculates potential oil yield, biomass produced, and growth rates. This preliminary resource assessment estimates annual algal biomass yield between 159 and 345 metric tons per hectare and 57,000 to 1, 62,000 liters of lipids per hectare based on the solar radiation intensity available in India.

It can be directly used to produce thermal as well as electrical power. However, Sun is also the main source of all renewable energy sources. Solar energy is in the form of electromagnetic wave as well as photons. Electromagnetic waves produce thermal energy and wind energy. The photons produce electrical energy through semiconductor devices. Thermal energy available on the Earth is able to defreeze frozen water on the Earth for the growth of bacteria. Thus, living organism exists on the Earth. The motion of the Earth and the moon around the Sun is responsible for creating waves and tides in oceans in the form of kinetic energy, which is also a renewable source of energy.

It can be designed to show nonlinear performance. Spring stiffness exhibits nonlinear behavior depending on their role in various applications. This means that the stiffness of the spring is not continual, but governed by the compression. Nonlinear motion arises when the number of active coils of variable compression declines or rises. When coil springs are used as conical springs in dynamic systems, it becomes mandatory to identify the consequence of springs on dynamic performance. This article looks at the nonlinear dynamic behavior of conical springs with higher mass. In this article, coil springs considered have a constant pitch and elasticnature wise.This article compares experimental data for deformations of coil springs taken with those obtained by finite element method.

Reductions in costs driven by technological advances, economies of scale in manufacturing, and innovations in financing have brought solar power within reach of grid parity in an increasing number of markets. Continued advancements and further cost reductions will expand these opportunities, including in developing countries where favorable solar conditions exist.
Policy environments for renewable energy in the developing world are being refined, drawing on the lessons learned from the successes and failures of policies adopted in first-mover markets. We now see several regulatory models being successfully deployed in the developing world with consequent increase in investment and installations. Solar is proving to be viable in more places and for more applications than many industry experts predicted even a few years ago. At the same time, this rapid market growth has been accompanied by an observed uneven expertise and know-how demonstrated by new market entrants.
Building capacity and knowledge on the practical aspects of solar power project development, particularly for smaller developers, will help ensure that new PV projects are well-designed, well-executed, and built to last. Hereby, I present the first version of our book Solar Photovoltaic Technology and Systems: A Guide for Trainers and Engineers and hope that it will be a useful source that helps our readers to study the different topics of solar photovoltaic energy. It covers the topics on photovoltaics (PV): PV Basics, PV Technology, and PV Systems. I trust that this publication will help build capacity amongst key stakeholders, as solar power continues to become a more and more important contributor to meeting the energy needs in emerging economies.
