Application of Nature Based Optimization Techniques in Optimizing Water Used in Renewable Energy Systems

The engineering advancements and burgeoning population have aggravated the requirements of energy. As the typical fuel resources are limited, the recent trend of energy demand has enforced concerns on the availability of fossil based fuels.The disturbance in the price of crude oil is one of the effect of this growing demand.That is why the renewable energy systems like hydro power, solar, wind, wave, tidal etc. has become a topic of concern and research.The common objective is the maximization of conversion efficiency and reduction of the expenses for the conversion.However, in most of the previous studies it was found that the function of water in enhancing productivity and decreasing cost is ignored.The novel and successful application of nature mimicking algorithms like Ant Colony,Artificial Bee,Particle Swarm Optimization in recent years has been used to identify optimal scenarios which can minimize the water requirement maintaining the balance between water used and energy produced.There by creating the water-energy nexus,utilization of water in renewable energy systems can be optimized. Benefit of the Study : The proposed investigation can reduce the wastage of resources and may maximize the utilization of the natural resources in an objective manner. 

Prerequisites : 1)Knowledge of Ant Colony,Artificial Bee,Particle Swarm Optimization. 2)An idea about Water Energy Nexus

Latest News from Water Energy Nexus 12th June to 19th June 2023

  Brackish Water Can be Used as Power Plant Coolant According to NETL, using brackish water to cool power plants can reduce freshwater consumption by 94% to 100%. Brackish water is water that is not suitable for drinking or irrigation because it contains between 1,000 and 35,000 parts per million of dissolved solids. The study's findings were published online by Nature Portfolio and are available here.  Find more Management of Water and Energy Nexus is crucial for the future of India  India is one of the world's most water-stressed countries, with only 4% of the world's water supply but 18% of the population. And, in recent years, India's rapid economic rise has only increased demand for both energy and water, putting these interconnected resources under increasing stress and making the nexus between them crucial for the country's energy security and transition goals. Agriculture consumes 80% of India's water, but water is also essential to the country's ene
