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 ...

Nature Based Optimization Methods applied in Efficiency Maximization of Cascaded Multi-Reservoir Systems Abstract Nature Based Algorithms like Ant Colony,Bee Colony,Particle Swarm,Genetic Algorithms etc are now widely used in optimization of resource allocation in cascaded multi-reservoir systems. Such systems are constructed worldwide for optimal allocation of resources for hydropower as well as irrigation purposes.The interconnected systems which are useful in providing supply where needed from where the resource is excess and thus utilizing available resources optimally minimizing the wastage. Algorithms like Ant Colony or Bee Colony are popular due to their ability in identifying the mapping that exist between nonlinear variables.In the present study the researchers can optimize inflow and release of water from the reservoirs in such a way that it can minimize the wastage of water from over or under use.As both inflow and outflow are non-linear to each other such pr...
