Integration of Green Hydrogen in Rural Regions of India for Reliable and Secure Supply Through Decentralized Renewable Solutions
No full textIndia has made significant progress in electrification, but rural areas still face issues with power reliability and sustainability due to frequent outages and voltage fluctuations in the existing centralized grid system. To address these issues, decentralizing power generation with green hydrogen as storage and backup is proposed. This paper examines the financial feasibility of integrating green hydrogen and renewable energy in rural India. Using HOMER Pro Software, simulations showed that integrating these technologies significantly reduces costs and emissions. Net Present Cost (NPC) and Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) dropped by 60.4%, operational and maintenance costs decreased by 74.2%, and emissions were reduced by 65-85%. Financial metrics suggest a 2 - 3-year breakeven point due to declining costs for electrolyzers and storage facilities by 2030. The study concludes that decentralizing power generation with green hydrogen and renewable energy can reduce the carbon footprint and promote sustainable development
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Sensitivity analysis of reliability constrained, eco optimal solar, wind, hydrogen storage based islanded power system
Get PDFAbstract The global energy expansion strategy has incorporated islanded renewable energy-based power generation systems to electrify remote communities. The development of these renewable energy systems (RES) decreases grid dependency and operational costs. Solar photovoltaic power stations (SPPS) and wind-driven power stations (WDPS) are commonly employed technologies in isolated power systems. However, their intermittent nature poses dependability obstacles. Therefore, the incorporation of storage technology is essential to enhance reliability. This paper presents a sensitivity analysis to determine the optimal, reliable, and cost-effective sizing of a SPPS, WDPS, and hydrogen storage systems (HSS) based power system for case study of Jaisalmer, India. The ideal dimensions of each component are determined in two different cases, each having a unique objective function. The optimal sizing is attained through a metaheuristic optimization method called Butterfly-PSO. Reliability assessment is carried out using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and two key reliability indices, namely ENS and LOLE are taken under analysis. Sensitivity analyses are performed to examine the effects of incorporating or excluding RES and storage elements on system reliability and cost-efficiency. The findings presents that increasing SPPS capacity by one unit changes around LOLE by 13%, ENS by 14%, and LCOE/TLCC by 1%. Varying WDPS capacity changes LOLE by 16%, ENS by 19%, TLCC by 3.3%, and LCOE by 1.4%. Adjusting HSS tank size by one unit affects LOLE by 2%, ENS by 2.6%, and TLCC/LCOE by 0.02%. Case 1 (Min TLCC) offers a more reliable and cost-effective solution than Case 2
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
