Feed In Tariff

Feed-In Tariff (FiT) was introduced in Malaysia in 2004 and has been undergone many stages to make its implementation in Malaysia successful. The first Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) introduced in Malaysia is Suria 1000 under the supervision of Pusat Tenaga Malaysia (PTM). The aim of this paper was to study the FiT and BIPV implementation in Malaysia. It is observed that Malaysian did not invest in BIPV due to its expensive investment. The FiT Calculator was developed to prove the benefits of FiT in BIPV by practically calculating the investment and profit in the long run which was after 21 years of implementation.  FiT Calculator was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 and variable parameter such as the solar irradiation, types of solar panel and inverter were studied to obtain the estimation of power output, the annual income, net income and the payback period of BIPV. Results of all case studies were verified with MBIPV mileage report and the built FiT Calculator has shown up to 96.89% accuracy against the case study done.

Abstract In this paper, a new approach for supplying water to shrimp production ponds in Purworejo, Indonesia, is proposed. The paper covers the design of a solar-powered DC water pump system (SWPS), system performance analysis, and economic analysis by comparing it with the existing fossil-fuel-powered pumps. The mathematical approach for the designing process is shown and Lorents Compass alternative tool is introduced. By taking into consideration the daily water demand of 50 m3/day, the annual-averaged local solar irradiation of 4.7 kWh/m2 per day, and the available components in the market, an SWPS in Purworejo would comprise a 1200 Wp PV panel and a 600 W DC pump submerged in a borehole in the seashore. The SWPS would be able to meet the daily water demand with small seasonal variations. The financial analysis shows high feasibility to install SWPS in Purworejo with a 1,6 years simple payback period, which is very short. The SWPS would provide more than 20 years of free energy for the farmers to draw seawater to the pond each day when the sun shines. It can provide not only environmental and social benefits but also significant economic advantages, both at the farm and the national levels.

Signalling Systems

The railway is one of the most prominent models of transportation across the globe and it carries a large number of people, thus requiring high reliability, maintainability and safety. The reliability of railways mostly depends on an effective signalling system, making it one of the critical parts of railway operation. A signalling system is part of a large array of systems with interconnected components and subcomponents. Therefore, there is a need to make the signalling system more reliable and optimised with enhanced fault detection. Proper inspection and maintenance are required to make the signalling system reliable and safe. In this study, different inspection modelling techniques are applied to find the reliability of the signalling system. The signalling system has been divided into subsystems (signal unit, track unit, point-and-point machine) considering their importance and their effects on the failure rate of the entire signalling system. Inspection modelling of each subsystem has been conducted to provide the basis for the entire signalling system. A case study has been investigated to validate the model developed in one of the busiest tracks in eastern India. The obtained data thus are used to analyse the inspection pattern of signalling subsystems. Special attention to maintenance for inspection activities and logistics support has been taken into consideration, which is required to improve the reliability and maintainability of signalling subsystems and systems to make the railway signalling system sustainable in the long run.

Introduction: In order to have a good assessment of the quality of maternal and child health care, it is essential that there is up-to-date and reliable information. Objective: To evaluate the impact of the implementation of a computerized database of clinical processes in the admission, archive and medical statistics section, of Maternity hospital Irene Neto/Lubango-Angola. Methodology: A descriptive study with a quantitative and qualitative approach to carry out a retrospective case study deliveries and newborns, records from 2014 to 2017. Final considerations: The implementation of this project may contribute to the improvement of clinical management support management of the hospital as well as facilitating access to information for research and scientific production.
