There has been growing interest in harnessing wind energy for power generation using non-conventional electrical machines, the flux switching machine (FSM) being one of such emerging electrical machines. However, the dominant FSM design uses rare-earth PM material which may be unattractive for wind energy applications in terms of electrical machine cost. This work represents an attempt to study the...
It is believed that wind energy is growing at a very rapid rate, especially in the last few years. When compared with other sources of renewable energy in the energy portfolio, it becomes evident that the bulk is wind energy-based. However, there are some backlogs to full manifestation of this technology ranging from initial high cost to performance and reliability issues, among others. But in spite...
The current engineering undergraduate curriculum in Nigeria, a developing country, is non-commensurate with the contemporary 21st century technological prospect and so the nation lags seriously in research and development (R&D), which in effect is a quantity for measuring infrastructural development. In the light of this development, a mechatronics curriculum becomes not only necessary but critical...
Data for investment into renewable energy resources in Nigeria is mainly unavailable due to over reliance on conventional resources for energy generation. However, recent developments in the energy sector have portrayed a gradual attention to investments in renewable energy resources. This paper reviews the Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) which identifies this improvement and presents a draft...
