Hybrid, Integrated System for the Production and Distribution of Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Energy and a Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Power (PSHP) for a Typical Locality in Benin: Study and Design
</title>
<link>http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajer/14/1/1</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[Simultaneous access to electricity and drinking water remains a major challenge in rural areas of Benin. This work proposes the design of an integrated system combining solar and hydropower to effectively meet the energy and water needs of a typical community of 10,000 inhabitants. The methodology adopted is based on needs assessment, equipment sizing (solar panels, pump, tank, turbine, and alternator), and a techno-economic feasibility study. The results obtained demonstrate the feasibility of a system capable of producing an average of 1,976.98 kWh per day and supplying 2,668.88 m³ of water, thus guaranteeing energy and water self-sufficiency for rural populations. This innovative solution highlights the importance of an integrated approach to address the challenges of the energy transition and universal access to basic services in Benin.]]>

Numerical Investigation of Wave Power on the JONSWAP Spectrum in Deep and Finite Waters
</title>
<link>http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajer/14/1/2</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[A comprehensive numerical investigation of ocean wave power characteristics based on the JONSWAP spectrum was carried out using MATLAB simulations. The study evaluates spectral moments, characteristic wave periods, and depth-dependent energy transmission for different peak enhancement factor (γ) under both deep and finite water conditions. In addition to irregular sea states represented by the JONSWAP spectrum, regular (monochromatic) wave components were also analyzed to compare their power propagation behavior. Both spectral integration and the approximate formula were implemented to estimate the wave power across a wide range of depths. The computed results demonstrate that increasing γ leads to a narrower and more energetic spectrum, significantly affecting mean wave periods and power potential. Furthermore, the wave celerity modification coefficient (<i>C</i><SUB><i>h</i></SUB>). The outcomes reveal a strong correlation between spectral shape, wave regularity, and power transmission, providing valuable insights for accurate assessment of wave energy resources and design optimization of wave energy converters.]]>
