A Global Analysis on Microgrids through the PESTEL Framework
No full textMicrogrids enable distribution of electricity with higher shares of variable renewables, higher power quality, greater reliability and higher efficiency. There are a large number of factors in addition to the technology, which affect their shift towards market competitiveness and widespread adoption. The PESTEL framework, covering Political, Economic, Social, Technical, Environmental and Legislative factors, is used to identify and describe the drivers and barriers for microgrid development at the global level. The framework enables a broader approach to describe potential for microgrid applications. The results aim to provide engineers, project developers and microgrid specialists with an overview of the prospects for microgrid deployment.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Energy Technolog
Overview of Manufacturing PMC's Using Traditional and 3D printing Technology (FDM)
No full textAbstract: Composite materials are those materials which are made by combining two or more materials with unique properties. Polymer matrix composites are one of the most important composites which are used in various industries due to their light weight, high stiffness and high strength. Because of its advantages it is important to know the manufacturing techniques of PMCs. PMCs are used by automotive, pharmaceutical, sports and aerospace industries. This paper gives detailed review of different traditional and 3d printing methods of manufacturing Polymer Matrix Composites. These methods are more effective in making special shapes west bullet proofs, boat bodies and heavy cylinders. In recent research on effecting manufacturing of composite materials, it is found that the 3d printing technology makes some difference in making PMC with much better properties. In this review we also discuss about one of the 3d printing methods, that is Fusion Deposition Modeling for making PMCs with improved strength and properties.
Keywords: Stiffness, Strength, Polymer Matrix Composite, Manufacturing, FDM, 3d printing.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): a new challenge in untreated wastewater
No full textCOVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the WHO on 12 March 2020. As of 27 May 2020, WHO statistics exhibited that more than five million confirmed cases have been reported globally. Much remains unclear about the fate and impact of SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus 2019, in wastewater. SARS-CoV-2 infection, the etiologic agent of the current COVID-19 pandemic, is followed by virus shedding in the stool. The quantification of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater, therefore, enables monitoring of the prevalence of infections among the population through wastewater-based epidemiology. This review discusses the possible spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in wastewater and its impact on human health, if any. The information and resources outlined in this paper are based on recently published studies and provide information to decision-makers on the successful management of COVID-19 and reduce the risk of human exposure to COVID-19. Additionally, systems-based approaches to curtail COVID-19 spread are also discussed.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.

Mapping of groundwater potential zones using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and geospatial technique
No full textDelineation of the groundwater potential zones (GWPZs) is one of the most vital practices for the sustainable management of groundwater resources. In the present study, the delineation of GWPZs is done using an integrated approach of geospatial technique and fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (a hybrid method that combines fuzzy set theory and AHP). Seven major thematic layers like geology, slope, rainfall, landuse/landcover, soil type, lineament density, and drainage density are used to generate GWPZs map of the area. The final map is delineated into three different GWPZs, namely, high (20.44% of total study region), moderate and low zones both covering more than 79.55% of the total study region. Validation was done by overlaying the existing well yield (WY) and groundwater depth (GD) data on the final map. Results show that an accuracy of 81.81% and 75.75% was found between WY and GD data, respectively
