Boubacar SORO, Amadou DIALLO, Serge Dimitri Y. B. BAZYOMO, Adama OUEDRAOGO, Seyni SALACK; Dieudonné Joseph BATHIEBO, Sié KAM
The present work analyzes the energy production of three 50kWp photovoltaic (PV) power plants which are placed in three climate zones. The Sudano-Sahelian and Sudanian climates have lower average temperatures than the Sahelian environment. The Sudanian climate, next the Sudano-Sahelian zone, and finally the Sahelian region, have the best perfo(...)

Predicting power and solar energy using neural networks and PCA with meteorological parameters from Diass and Taïba Ndiaye
Sambalaye Diop, Papa Silly Traore, Mamadou Lamine Ndiaye, Issa Zerbo, Vincent Sambou
The excessive reliance on conventional fossil fuel-based resources poses a significant threat to our environment. To mitigate this impact, it has become increasingly crucial to increase the integration of intermittent and non-polluting energy sources into our electrical grids. However, while this higher penetration rate brings benefits such as(...)

Experimental Study of a Quadratic Boost: The Cascaded Connected Single Switch
Prince Abdoul Aziz Honadia; Bernard Zouma;Adama Ouédraogo;Fabé Idrissa Barro
The quadratic boost is studied under its real model. The equations, of the continuous conduction mode, descriptive of this model are established. From these equations, the expressions of the voltage gain and the efficiency are extracted. These two quantities are plotted as a function of the duty cycle in order to appreciate them in different o(...)

Using Artificial Intelligence Models to Predict the Wind Power to be fed into the Grid
Sambalaye Diop , Papa Silly Traore, Mamadou Lamine Ndiaye, Issa Zerbo
The Taïba Ndiaye wind farm, connected to the SENELEC grid, plays a key role in offsetting shortfalls in electricity consumption, with an installed capacity of 158.7 MW. Moreover, as an intermittent power station, its production is highly dependent on the environmental conditions in the region. Bad weather can disrupt the electricity network, r(...)

Physical and mechanical characterization of aggregates in Burkina Faso: implications for use as endogenous knowledge in civil engineering
Abdoul Aziz Ouiminga, Adélaïde Lareba Ouedraogo, Patrice Kouraogo, Mohamed Yerbanga, Sié Kam
Aggregates are the world's most widely exploited resource, surpassing even fossil fuels. They are mainly used for concrete production. On the one hand, due to restrictions on the use of river sand in some parts of the world to conserve river beds, demand for alternative fine aggregates in the construction sector has increased considerably. The(...)

Investigating the Impact of Base Heating and External Electric Field on PV Cell Performance under Intense Illumination
Boubacar Soro, Guy Serge Tchouadep, Esso-Ehanam Tchedre Kpeli, Ousmane Souliga, Adama Ouedraogo, Issa Zerbo, Martial Zoungrana
The characterization of the performances of a PV cell is linked to intrinsic factors of this cell. It is therefore important for us to identify the favorable or unfavorable conditions that affect the performance of PV cells. It is from this
perspective that it seems judicious to us to study the simultaneous influence of the heating of the bas(...)

Performance Evaluation of Solar Chimney Draft: Application to Ventilation
Boukaré Ouedraogo, Adama Ouedraogo, Arouna Kabore, Kalifa Palm, Dieudonné Joseph Bahiebo
Ventilation is one of the factors contributing to energy consumption in buildings and food preservation. The solar chimney proves to be an alternative for reducing conventional energy consumption. Thus, in this study, the performance of a solar chimney with two active faces for thermally drawing air from a chamber for preserving agri-food prod(...)

Numerical Models and Methods of Atmospheric Parameters Originating in the Formation of the Earth’s Climatic Cycle
Wend Dolean Arsène Ilboudo1*, Kassoum Yamba1, Windé Nongué Daniel Koumbem2, Issaka Ouédraogo1
Atmospheric models are physical equations based on the ideal gas law. Applied to the atmosphere, this law yields equations for water, vapor (gas), ice, air, humidity, dryness, fire, and heat, thus defining the model of key atmospheric parameters. The distribution of these parameters across the entire planet Earth is the origin of the formation(...)

Review on parameters influencing the efficiency of the dual-medium thermocline storage system
Bowendkuni Armand Korsaga, Jacques Nébié, Boubou Bagré, Abdoulaye Kaboré, Iliyassé Konkobo, Tere Dabilgou, Bernard Nana, Tizane Daho & Antoine Béré
Thermal storage systems are needed to overcome solar intermittency and
make this energy source more flexible and competitive for concentrated
solar power plants. Single-tank sensible heat storage using both fluids
and materials is a promising option for reducing storage costs and
promoting the development of concentrated solar power. This(...)

Realization and Experimental Study of a Forced Convection Solar Dryer
Boureima Dianda, Labayè Yves Japhet Koussoubé, Lareba Adélaïde Ouédraogo, Moctar Ousmane and Dieudonné Joseph Bathiébo
Post-harvest losses represent a significant cause of food insecurity worldwide. These losses not only affect the availability of food, but they also impact the economic stability of farmers and communities dependent on these crops. Food drying presents itself as a viable solution to reduce these post-harvest losses and ensure greater availabil(...)
