The study assessed the wind energy potential of ten selected sites in south western region Nigeria and carried out a cost benefit analysis power generation at those sites. Twenty four years’ (1987 to 2010) speed data 10 m height obtained from Nigerian meteorological agency were employed classify profiles for electricity generation. generating was also out. outcome showed that Lagos Oyo States adequately suited large scale with average speeds ranged between 2.9 5.8 m/s. Those other may be...
Abstract This study presents comprehensive thermoeconomic and thermoenvironomic modeling analysis of selected gas turbine power plants in Nigeria using the first second laws thermodynamics (exergy) concept. Exergetic was conducted operating data obtained from to determine exergy destruction efficiency each major component plant. The results showed that combustion chamber (CC) is most destructive compared other cycle components. percentage CC varies between 86.05% 94.6%. By increasing inlet...
In this study, exergy costing analysis and performance evaluation of selected gas turbine power plants in Nigeria are carried out. The results confirmed that the combustion chamber is most destructive component compared to other cycle components. exergetic efficiency was found depend significantly on a change inlet temperature (GTIT). increase with limited by material limit. This observed from plant defect curve. As increases, decreases minimum value at certain GTIT (1,200 K), after which it...
Abstract: This study assessed the viability of wind electricity production at a local meteorological site in Sokoto State, Nigeria. 21 years monthly mean speed data 10 m height obtained from Nigerian station were employed to carry out monthly, seasonal, yearly and whole profile characteristics. The subjected Weibull 2-parameter other statistical analyses. econometrics analysis generation was also studied using three turbine models AV 928, V90 SWT-3.6-107. outcome showed that ranged 2.4 12.1...
This study was used to evaluate the wind energy potential of a meteorological site in Gusau, capital city Zamfara state, Nigeria. Twenty-one years (1987−2007) three-hourly monthly mean data from Nigeria Meteorological Department were assessed and subjected two-parameter Weibull other statistical analyses determine resource for periods months, seasons, years. Attempts made compare measured with estimated data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics employed show site's profile's consistence...
Abstract In this study, performance assessment of selected gas turbine power plants in Nigeria was evaluated using indices. The results the study showed that for period under review (2006–2010), percentage shortfalls from target energy range 26.33% to 86.61% as against acceptable value 5–10%. capacity factor varies 16.88% 73.67% international 50–80%. plant use 45.89% 97.03% and utilization 6.31% 93.074% best practice over 95%. From result, it can be concluded generating units were...
This study presents thermodynamic analysis of the design and performance eleven selected gas turbine power plants using first second laws thermodynamics concepts. Energy exergy analyses were conducted operating data collected from to determine energy loss destruction each major component plant. showed that combustion chamber are components having highest proportion in plants. varied 33.31 39.95% 30.83 35.24% respectively. The revealed is most destructive compared other cycle components....
Relevant meteorological files are needed by simulation software to assess the energy performances of buildings or efficiency renewable systems. This paper adopts Sandia method generate typical year (TMY), using a 35-year hourly measured dataset from four stations in northern region Nigeria. The cumulative distribution function (CDF) for each was compared with that long-term composite all years period seven major weather indices made up relative humidity, wind speed, minimum temperature,...
In this study, exergoeconomic analysis and performance evaluation of selected gas turbine power plants in Nigeria were carried out. The study was conducted using operating data obtained from the to determine exergy efficiency, destruction, unit cost electricity destruction major components a engine plants. results confirmed that combustion chamber is most destructive component compared other cycle as expected. total efficiency defects overall exergetic vary 38.64 69.33% 15.66 30.72%...
Absorption enhancement has been considered as an effective way of improving coefficient performance (COP) refrigeration systems and magnetic is one these methods. A model field in ammonia-water absorption presented this paper. numerical using finite difference scheme was developed based on the conservation equations mass transport relationship. Macroscopic force introduced momentum equation. The validated data obtained from literature. Changes physical properties ammonia solution while...
