The Stirling engine is noted for its high efficiency compared to steam engines, quiet operation, and the ease with which it can use almost any heat source.This engine is currently exciting interest as the core component of micro combined heat and power (CHP) units, in which it is more efficient and safer than a comparable steam engine.

Improvements in efficiency of solar parabolic troughIOSR Journals
Solar energy is primary source of all type of energy which is present in nature i.e. all the energy
derived from it. So, direct utilization of solar energy into useful energy is important. There are so many solar
thermal equipments in which concentrating type collector heated the fluid up to 100 to 4000C. It is employed for
a variety of applications such as power generation, industrial steam generation and hot water production.
Parabolic trough collector is preferred for steam generation because high temperatures can achieve.
Cylindrical parabolic trough type collector consists of selective concentrator and a receiver tube. The
selective cover system prevents the heat loss (convective and radiative) from the receiver tube and improves the
performance of solar parabolic trough. Also evacuated chamber is created to reduce the loss of heat and reduce
the corrosion of concentrator surface. Tracking system is embedded in the solar parabolic trough for tracking
the sun energy movement.
This report presents the evaluation of solar insolation in terms of monthly average hourly global
radiation in Patna on 10th April, 2013. On the basis of this solar energy flux, comparative study of the
instantaneous efficiency of solar parabolic trough is done. Here four different types of cover system are
mathematically analyzed. (i) Single glass cover on receiver (ii) Double glass cover on receiver (iii) Single glass
cover on aperture (iv)Double glass cover on aperture. This report contains many graphs to illustrate the effect
on instantaneous efficiency on variation of primary parameter. With the help of MATLAB R201a software
mathematical calculation is obtained.
Trans-Mediterranean Interconnection for Concentrating Solar Power, Algeria "Clean Power from the Desert" project.
The MED-CSP study focuses on the electricity and water supply of the EUROMED regions and countries. The scope was to create a database for decision
makers showing the potential of renewable energies to solve the regional energy and
water shortage and the corresponding cost escalation. A set of criteria for
sustainability was defined including not only environmental issues, but also socioeconomic efficiency and security of supply. A scenario was developed showing that the growing demand for power and water can be satisfied in an affordable way by a well balanced mix of technologies and resources.
The results of the MED-CSP study can be summarized in the following statements: Environmental, economic and social sustainability in the energy sector
can only be achieved with renewable energies. Present measures are
insufficient to achieve that goal.
An adequate set of policy instruments must be established immediately
to accelerate renewable energy deployment in the EU and MENA.

Supporting High-Penetration PV with Energy StorageSmithers Apex
- Photovoltaic (PV) power will be a major contributor to meeting renewable portfolio standards, but as PV penetration levels increase it will be necessary to address certain issues of compatibility with electricity networks
- Depending on the location the utility peak may lag the solar peak by several hours, potentially creating a conflict between PV and baseload generation
- Extremely high ramp rates on partly cloudy days can cause instability on high-penetration feeders or, in the case of island systems, entire networks
- Energy storage provides the solution to PV integration issues, allowing higher penetration levels
• The cost of energy storage can be mitigated by addressing multiple applications, such as the supply of grid services during night-time hours

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

The engine is a hermetically sealed system that does not require lubrication, has
no touching parts and no wear and tear.
Each PowerDish has a service life that exceeds 25 years. Once the engine is
sealed – engine designed to run for 25 years without any maintenance. Because
of its design characteristics, Infinia's engine is proving to have lower O&M costs
