Evaluating the site-selection process for photovoltaic (PV) plants is essential for securing available areas for solar power plant installation in limited spaces. Although the vicinities of highway networks can be suitable for installing PV plants, in terms of economic feasibility, they have rarely been investigated because the impacts of various factors, including geographic or weather patterns, have not been analyzed. In this respect, this study conducts a case study on selecting the site for PV-panel installation in the vicinity of a highway (e.g., slopes) by integrating geographic information system (GIS) and building information model (BIM) techniques. Using location (e.g., highways, lakes, rivers), monthly solar power output, and orographic (e.g., slope) data, suitable regions are identified with the geo-spatial analysis; then, the amount of power that can be generated is evaluated in the regions. For the proposed sites, the surface conditions and potential PV systems are transformed and visualized in a BIM environment. In the results, the power output at optimal sites selected from the case area was computed at a total of 8227 MWh and was transformed into solar-panel families in three-dimensional environments. Thus, this study may help to identify optimal sites for PV plants in the unused areas near highways.

The purpose of this research is to study in detail about the site selection process in nuclear power plant (NPP) construction. There are various factors that contribute to the site selection which involves in-depth investigation and detailed evaluation before the site is being finalized and proposed. There are two main objectives in siting of NPP; ensuring the technical and economic feasibility of the plant and minimising potential adverse impacts on the community and environment. Geographical environment also plays an important role in siting of NPP where the source of water should be abundance. Country requirement for siting of NPP would be different for every country where they are controlled by their own regulatory bodies. About 64 published studies (1967-2017) are reviewed in this paper. It is marked from the literature survey articles that siting process is extremely crucial step in constructing NPP where public acceptance is one of the main factors, that need to be considered. Malaysia is one of the new countries embark in nuclear industry that still is in the planning phase to plan and construct its first NPP.

Remote Monitoring System

We have Developed an IoT-based real-time solar power monitoring system in this paper. It seeks an opensource IoT solution that can collect real-time data and continuously monitor the power output and environmental conditions of a photovoltaic panel.The Objective of this work is to continuously monitor the status of various parameters associated with solar systems through sensors without visiting manually, saving time and ensures efficient power output from PV panels while monitoring for faulty solar panels, weather conditionsand other such issues that affect solar effectiveness.Manually, the user must use a multimeter to determine what value of measurement of the system is appropriate for appliance consumers, which is difficult for the larger System. But the Solar Energy Monitoring system is designed to make it easier for users to use the solar system.This system is comprised of a microcontroller (Node MCU), a PV panel, sensors (INA219 Current Module, Digital Temperature Sensor, LDR), a Battery Charger Module, and a battery. The data from the PV panels and other appliances are sent to the cloud (Thingspeak) via the internet using IoT technology and a Wi-Fi module (NodeMCU). It also allows users in remote areas to monitor the parameters of the solar power plant using connected devices. The user can view the current, previous, and average parameters of the solar PV system, such as voltage, current, temperature, and light intensity using a Graphical User Interface. This will facilitate fault detection and maintenance of the solar power plant easier and saves time.

Optimal management of power plant units is achieved when the global efficiency of the units and the minimization of the total hydraulic head losses through the water transportation systems can be combined. Evaluating these hydraulic head losses appears to be very difficult due to the complexity of the flow conditions through the hydraulic structures. A hydraulic energy based method to determine head losses in the surge chamber has been proposed in this paper, as well as a method to manage the opening of units which would optimize the production of electricity. This method was applied to a case study, and successful results have been obtained showing how the head loss varies in the surge chamber.Key words: hydraulic head losses, power plant unit, surge chamber, unit efficiency, three-dimensional flow conditions, turbulent flow models, computational fluid dynamics.

This paper examines a case study of the selection of nine airstrip sites in the coastal area of Labrador. The procedure used involved the procurement of better mapping for the site selection process. The benefits of this process are examined in the context of the data requirements for good airstrip selection. The site selection process is then examined utilizing state of the art digital mapping and computerized geometric design techniques.
