Influence of Water System Connectivity Project on Hydrodynamics of Offshore Tidal Waters by WANG Yifei, WANG Yanhong, YANG Xiaoyu, JIAO Jian, DING Lei

“…The results show that the water flow velocity in most areas before and after the construction of the project is smaller than 2 cm/s, and the water flow velocity in some areas with poor water exchange capacity is smaller than 0.5 cm/s. The hydrodynamic conditions in the north lake area are obviously weaker than those in the south lake area, and the hydrodynamic conditions in the dry season and the rainy season are not much different. …”

TECHNO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF A 25 MW SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION IN EFFURUN-WARRI, NIGERIA by MUSHAFAU OSHUNDAIRO, JOSEPH OYEKALE

“…Also, the total annual energy produced by the PV system was observed to depreciate as the system ages, with about 12% of the initial annual energy production expected to be lost after 25 years of system operation. The obtained capacity factor (12.1 %) and the performance ratio (0.75) revealed that the PV system in its current design would be inadequate to match the energy demand profile of Effurun-Warri, Nigeria. …”
