Energy in Style

  Power generation from Salinity Gradient is a new topic of research that is steadily attracting interest from the researchers of renewable energy. The scarcity and rising demand for conventional fuels have also aggravated the importance of alternative sources of energy where power from salinity gradient or Blue Energy can be a useful solution. As the topic is new and mostly unexplored, doing research in this aspect, have a very high potential.  Research ideas like : 1) Cost Minimization of Power Extraction from Saline Water Gradient-based Power Plants by Nature Based Optimization Techniques The first objective of the work will be to identify parameters/s, which contribute towards the total expenditure for the installation of Salinity Gradient-based power plants. After all the settings were defined, and the significance of the weights of the parameters is determined, the next step will be to formulate the indicator in such a manner that it becomes directly proportional to the ...

New Research Idea Abstract The selection of ideal conceptual hydrologic model for prediction of surface runoff from any type of watershed is useful for the estimation of future hydrologic conditions of the basin.The predicted runoff is also important for design of hydraulic structure,preparation of watershed management plans ,disaster management etc. related activities.The future runoff will give an idea of future uncertainties that may trouble the watershed and its inhabitants.The hydrologic models which follows the basic physical laws of water balance to estimate the desired output cannot exactly estimate the runoff.There will be some differences with the actual situation and the predicted one.The deviations between the two is allowable but to a certain extent.There are many factors for this deviation.Some models are suitable for some specific types of watersheds.The availability of required dataset is also another important issue.The equalizing constants that are used to linearize...

Idea : Analysis of Climatic Impacts on Hydraulic Structures by Fuzzy AHP method The change in climate and impending abnormalities due to the same may impact the stability of hydraulic structures developed to resist,store and utilize the water and its kinetics for development of mankind.The level of impacts on a hydraulic structure can be evaluated with the help of various related and relevant attributes and methods like AHP with Fuzzy can be utilized to estimate the degree of impacts on the hydraulic structures.In this present investigation the weightage of the criteria can be determined by Fuzzy Logic instead of normal procedures of AHP. After the weightage was found the same may be utilized to rate the alternatives as normally performed in case of AHP method.Some cases may be evaluated with known impact of climatic extremity to validate the method and the outcomes from the same. Tools Utilized : AHP and Fuzzy Keywords : Climate change,MCDM,AHP,Fuzzy,hydraulic structures...

New Research Idea :  Selection of Turbines for Small Scale Hydro-Power Plant in Mid-sloped regions by Neuro-Genetic and AHP techniques.  Why Good Research Idea ?   Efficiency of output from SHP in the mid slope regions are not very attractive.But if proper decision making measures is utilized to select the turbines and all other related machineries then situations can be improved.Either-way this can be a good research topic for M.Tech student as all these cognitive algorithms are now widely used in decision making studies.The advantage of Analytical Hierarchy Process along with Piecewise Comparison Matrix is also another tool for efficient and logical decision making.Both can be utilized to select most suitable turbines for SHP in the mid-slopey areas.
