Over the past 15 years, Australia’s renewable energy market has continued to attract massive interest from
Developers, Contractors, manufacturers, governments and local and international investors. This reflects global
energy trends driven by factors such as a push for diversification of energy sources and asset classes,
government incentives for clean energy technology developments and, importantly, the decreasing cost of
electricity from renewable energy sources.
The renewable energy industry in Australia is well-established and mature for some technologies (eg wind,
rooftop solar PV), developing in others (eg utility scale solar PV, solar thermal/CSP and hybrid solar) and at
commercialisation stage in others (eg geothermal, wave).
At this time of increasing market interest and development, it is relevant to consider key issues and market
trends in the construction, operation and regulatory aspects of projects, and critical bankability considerations
relating to each of these issues. While this paper focuses on issues that are of most interest to project Sponsors
and Lenders, many of these considerations are equally relevant to Contractors. This paper considers these
issues in the context of utility scale solar and wind projects in Australia.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.
Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

5. The Pagudpud Wind Power Plant has proven to be a successful renewable energy project,
contributing significantly to the country's clean energy goals and demonstrating the viability of
wind power in the Philippines.
The Pagudpud Wind Power Plant is a wind farm located in the municipality of Pagudpud, Ilocos
Norte, Philippines. It is a renewable energy facility that harnesses the power of the wind to
generate electricity. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how the Pagudpud Wind Power Plant
works:
Site Selection: The first step in establishing the wind power plant is to identify a suitable location
with consistent and strong wind resources. Pagudpud, being a coastal area with high wind
speeds, was chosen as an ideal site for the wind farm.
Feasibility Study: A comprehensive feasibility study is conducted to assess the economic,
technical, and environmental viability of the project. Factors such as wind resource assessment,
land availability, grid connectivity, and potential environmental impacts are evaluated.
6. Turbine Selection: Based on the wind resource assessment, wind turbines are selected. These
turbines are specifically designed to capture wind energy and convert it into mechanical power.
Factors such as turbine efficiency, rotor diameter, tower height, and capacity are considered
during the selection process.
Land Acquisition and Preparation: Once the turbine type and layout are finalized, the necessary
land is acquired for the wind farm. The land is cleared, leveled, and prepared to accommodate
the turbine foundations, access roads, and other infrastructure.
Turbine Installation: The wind turbines are transported to the site and erected on the prepared
foundations. Each turbine consists of a tower, rotor, and nacelle. The nacelle houses the
generator and other key components that convert the rotational energy of the rotor into electrical
energy.
Electrical Infrastructure: A substation is constructed near the wind farm to collect and transform
the electricity generated by the turbines. The electricity is stepped up to a higher voltage level for
efficient transmission through the power grid.
7. Grid Connection: Transmission lines are installed to connect the wind farm's substation to the
main power grid. This enables the generated electricity to be fed into the grid and distributed to
consumers.
Operation and Maintenance: The wind power plant requires regular maintenance and monitoring
to ensure its optimal performance. This includes periodic inspections, lubrication, and repairs.
Technicians are employed to carry out these tasks and address any operational issues that may
arise.
Power Generation: As the wind blows, it causes the rotor blades of the turbines to spin. The
rotational motion is transmitted to the generator in the nacelle, which produces electricity. The
electricity generated is sent to the substation and then injected into the power grid.
Environmental Impact: The Pagudpud Wind Power Plant helps reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by producing clean, renewable energy. It contributes to mitigating climate change and
promoting sustainable development. The project's environmental impact is carefully managed to
minimize any potential adverse effects on wildlife, habitats, and local communities.
8. By harnessing the power of the wind, the Pagudpud Wind Power Plant provides a renewable
source of electricity, contributing to the country's energy mix and supporting the transition to a
more sustainable future.
