Tetsunari Iida: Can Japan Achieve a Sustainable Future without Nuclear Energy?
In the aftermath of the 3.11 Fukushima nuclear crisis, the long-term viability of the nuclear industry in Japan has been called into question, with a dynamic anti-nuclear social movement challenging the Japanese government's response to the crisis. While this movement initially enlisted tens of thousands of people, many of whom had not previously engaged in political activism, as time has passed, the anti-nuclear movement has failed to gain ground against the entrenched forces of conservative politics, even while anti-nuclear sentiment remains strong. A central moment in this process was the recent elections, which returned the Liberal Democratic party to power on a nationalist agenda that included plans to restart all of Japan's reactors, and even build new ones.
In contrast to the back-to-the-future politics of the LDP, the anti-nuclear candidate Tetsunari Iida, who ran for governor of Yamaguchi Prefecture, has called for a fundamental rethinking of Japan's energy policy away from nuclear energy to renewable forms that are more environmentally friendly. Although Mr. Iida experienced a setback in the 2012 elections, losing to a conservative candidate who was backed by the LDP, his campaign raised a number of issues for consideration that had not been previously addressed, invigorating the anti-nuclear movement throughout Japan.
For this presentation, Mr. Iida will discuss the political dysfunction that contributed to the nuclear crisis, and offer an alternate vision that has raised widespread support among a public alienated from mainstream politics, offering hope for a safer and more ecologically sustainable future.

Comparative Studies of the Measured and Predicted Values of Global Solar Radi...YogeshIJTSRD
This study was aimed at utilizing the monthly mean values of global solar radiation, sunshine hours, rainfall, wind speed, atmospheric pressure and cloud cover to develop an empirical equation for estimation global solar radiation on a horizontal surface for Awka 6.2 °N, 7.0 °E for nine year period 2005 – 2013 . The regression constants were obtained using regression analysis and the predicted values of global solar radiation calculated. The measured values of global solar radiation were compared with the predicted using different models. The result showed that the deviations were minimal. Validation of the results was tested using MBE, RMSE and MPE. The values of R and R2 were also determined for each model. Of all these meteorological parameters sunshine hours, rainfall, wind speed, atmospheric pressure and cloud cover used in this study only sunshine hours was found to have a direct correlation with global solar radiation. Result obtained show that all the models except model 4 were in good agreement with the measured global solar radiation considering their MBE, RMSE and MPE values. However, considering the RMSE, models 5 and 6 gave better predictions of R which indicate that about 94.8 of variation in the monthly mean solar radiation on a horizontal surface can be accounted for by the models. Therefore, either model 5 or model 6 can be used for predicting global solar radiation for Awka and other locations with similar climate conditions. Nwokoye, A. O. C. | Mbadugha, A. O.

BUILDING AN EFFICIENT SOLAR CHARGER AND COMPARING ITS CHARGING SPEEDS WITH A ...SukhpreetSingh164
Abstract of the Research Paper
Energy sources using exhaustible energy at its input are being discouraged because they cause significant damage to the environment and human beings. Solar energy is considered one among the clean and green energy sources because it takes sunlight as its input which is a renewable energy source. There are many places in the world where electricity is not constant or not available. There are also cases where solar energy is neglected by people simply because of a lack of knowledge of its efficiency, and it is basically considered non-efficient. The purpose of this research is to build a solar charger, test its workability, and compare its efficiency with a regular wall charger to provide information for it to be used by both rural and urban people. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used appropriately, and most efficient circuit parts and appropriate testers were used in this research study to achieve the objectives. It was found that the solar charger was almost as efficient as a regular wall charger. There were some factors which decrease the efficiency of the solar charger which may be analyzed by future researchers on this concept. In conclusion, after being found that a solar charger is as efficient as a regular wall charger, its use must be encouraged by both rural and urban people.
Keywords: Solar charger, wall charger, comparative study
The utilization of conventional sources of energy releases harmful pollutants to the environment causing global warming and acid rain. For that reason, it becomes necessary to use a non-depletable, sustainable and eco-friendly renewable energy as a mean of producing electricity. Malaysia is tropical country rich in resources beneficial in electricity generation as it is in equatorial region therefore it has an abundance of solar irradiance of average annually. In addition, Malaysia’s demand in electricity is increasing to 124,677 GWh by 2020. Therefore, the electricity generation from renewable sources in Malaysia is anticipated to grow in the future alongside the government endorsement due to its clean, eco-friendly and free source of energy which can highly reduce the dependency on oil and gas that emits harmful pollutants to the environment. This paper gives a comprehensive review on the renewable projects and researches in Malaysia, challenges that affect popularity of renewable energy in Malaysia and available and successful renewable energy system in Malaysia.

Sustainability of the Installed Battery-less PV Panel Systems at Two Governme...IJAEMSJORNAL
One of the most prominent energy alternatives available today is the solar energy. Innovation has made this more affordable and reachable to the public both in the resident and commercial areas. Solar energy was harnessed in two buildings from two different organizations through the installation of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels in the two locales. However, these solar panel systems needed to be assessed empirically. Also, during the initial operation, several technical problems led the researcher to use the result of the assessment procedures as basis for a proposed operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting manual for the users. Engineering management intervened in the study through the tools which were helpful in organizing the activities done in the course of the research. The PV solar panels were assessed in a quantitative approach. The energy and cost generated after the installation of the systems were compared to the energy and cost prior to the installation through the analysis of percentage difference and t-test. The efficiency and return on investment (ROI) of the PV solar panels were also assessed. The contents of the manual was based on the survey checklist distributed among the four (4) respondents from the locales and the interview checklist conducted by the researcher on the installer of the panel systems. In summary, no significant difference was observed between the energy and cost generated before and after the installation of the PV solar panels using t-test. But the percentage difference assessment reflected a significant difference in the energy and cost generated before and after the installation. Specifically, there was a positive decrease in the energy cost of the electricity generation in the two locales. Furthermore, the return on investment of the PV systems were discovered to be less than the expected life span which means that the projected payback could be harvested within the utilization of the PV solar panels. Lastly, a manual was made at the end of the study addressing the common issues and problems encountered by the users and how to troubleshoot them and operate the system properly. This manual was made for the sole purposeof maximizing the utilization of the solar PV panels and promoting sustainability.
