Wind turbine selection and optimal hub height positioning are crucial elements of wind power projects. However, in higher class wind speeds especially, over-exposure of wind turbines can lead to a reduction in power generation capacity. In this study, wind measurements from a met mast were validated according to specifications issued by IRENA and NREL. As a first step, it is shown that commercial WTGs from a database may be matched to the wind class and turbulence intensity. Secondly, a wind turbine selection algorithm, based on maximisation of capacity factor, was implemented across the range of WTGs. The selected WTGs were further exposed to an iterative algorithm using pointwise air density and wind shear coefficients. It is shown that a unique maximum capacity factor, and hence wind power generation, exists for a wind turbine, premised on its eventual over-exposure to the wind resource above a certain hub height.

An optimization was performed for a sintering waste heat power unit with all data obtained in the site and under the unit normal operating conditions. The physical and mathematical model for the process of cooling and generation is established, which makes the net power generation as an objective function of the cooling machine imported ventilation, the thickness of sinter and the main steam pressure. Optimizing for single parameter, we found that each parameter had an optimal value for the system. In order to further optimize the system's operating parameters, genetic algorithm was used to make the combinatorial optimization of the three parameters. Optimization results show that power generation capacity per ton is increased by13.10%, and net power generation is increased by 16.17%. The optimization is instructive to the operation of sintering waste heat power unit.

Wind energy is seen as one of the promising generation of electricity, as a source of cheap and renewable, is benefit to reduce the environmental impacts of the dam. Along with the hydroelectric networks, the energy produced by the wind will help to increase power generation capacity in the country. That from speed data and direction municipality Wind Craíbas in the corresponding period 2014 - 2015, estimated the wind potential of the region. The tool used in the treatment of the collected data was the Wasp, making simulations of three different levels of measurement, producing a fictitious wind farm with powerful wind turbine. With the model, WASP helps estimate the probability distribution of Weibull and scale parameters A and K. he predominant wind direction is southeast and the best wind power and intensity density levels took place in 70m and 100m high , with about 201 W / m² and 243 W / m² respectively. But when evalua ted the inclusion of fictitious wind farm, the best use happened at 100m tall with production around 73.039 GWh , which can be attributed this improvement to increased efficiency of the wind turbine used in the simulation.

To investigate the removal effect of pollutants in mariculture sediment by sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC) and its power generation capacity, the effects of external resistance, cathode pH and cathode dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) on the SMFC system were investigated. The results showed that the optimal parameters for SMFC were as follows: external resistance = 1500 Ω, pH = 8.5 and DO = 5 mg·L-1. In these situations, the power generation performance and organic degradation effect were both the best. The maximum output voltages were 585, 606, and 587 mV, respectively; the removal rates of COD in sediment were 75.51%, 84.21% and 86.63%, respectively; and the removal rates of ammonia nitrogen in sediment were 80.34%, 98.91% and 90.24%, respectively. The SMFC system had a certain degradation ability to pollutants such as COD and ammonia nitrogen in the sediment of the marine aquaculture areas, which had a broad application prospect.

With the popularization of integrated circuits, MEMS, and portable electronic devices, chemical batteries have many disadvantages as the main energy supply method, such as large size, high quality, and limited energy supply life, requiring regular replacement, resulting in waste of materials, environmental pollution, and other issues. From the above reasons, energy harvesting technology plays an important role in improving the efficiency and life of electronic equipment. In order to explore the influence of the bimorph piezoelectric vibrator’s structural parameters on the power generation capacity, this paper establishes a cantilever beam rectangular bimorph piezoelectric vibrator power generation model, derives the mathematical expression of the bimorph piezoelectric vibrator power generation, and determines the parameter factors that affect the power generation effect. Using MATLAB simulation analysis to obtain the influence relationship curve of system output voltage and structural parameters, the experiment tests the influence law of output voltage and thickness ratio, width-to-length ratio, and Young’s modulus ratio; the test results are consistent with the theoretical analysis, verifying the theory and the correctness of the analysis. The results show that when the thickness ratio is 0.58 and the width-to-length ratio is 1, the power generation effect of the piezoelectric vibrator is the best to reach 14.5V; the power generation capacity of the transducer is inversely proportional to Young’s modulus ratio. This research provides a new idea for the popularization of integrated circuits, MEMS, and portable electronic devices.
