1. Modelling of micro hydro-PV hybrid energy system
Solar and hydro have excellent complementary characteristics, dry seasons have excellent solar resources and rainy seasons have excellent hydro. This project is about modeling of the energy system for rural load of light bulbs, grinder,school load and water pumping load in HOMER. Read more on OARE.
2. Model development and validation for 10KW solar power plant
This project is about developing a computer model that can simulate the operation of the panels, i.e current,voltage, energy output battery state of charge, capacity factor sand compare them with the measure values. The model is then validated using actual measurements of important outputs.
3. Solar industrial process heat applications in Ethiopian industries
Solar industrial process heat play a vital role in reducing fuel costs. Solar heat has application in low temperature process industries such as food, textile and beer. Solar thermal power plants provide part of the steam or hot water demand in these factories leading to significant fossil fuel reduction. These contribute to economy, environment and finance.
4. Biomass gasification for rural electrification applications
This is also one potential option for rural electrification in Ethiopia. Tasks may include, gassifier design, energy use modeling and simulation. Also using HOMER, alternative solar,wind and bomass can be compared for rural area to rank alternatives.
5. Biogas burner design for bio Metad.
This is a typical application of combustion theory. Burner design for cookers is a well established science. But adapting the design to unique characteristics of Injera baking is a major task. Already trials are there in Selam vocational training center but the issue of uniform heat transfer needs to be dealt with.
