Published: 2024-June-30
This paper shows a study of the Smart Grid in Bangladesh, emphasizing the incorporation of renewable energy sources. Its aim is to provide an overview of global renewable energy demand and highlight the significance of a smart grid system in fostering sustainability and dropping CO2emissions.The total renewable energy generation of Bangladesh stood at a meager 1.34% in 2009, representing its low comparative position with other nations. Unfortunately, there has been a little improvement over time, as the total renewable energy generation was 1.51% in 2014 and only slightly increased to 1.57% by 2019.

Published: 2024-June-30
An experiment was carried out at the Agricultural Research Field of IUBAT, Dhaka, Bangladesh from October 2022 to April 2023 to investigate the Effects of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth and yield of “Tomaloo” in continuation of previous research. “Tomaloo” is a wonder plant created by grafting between a potato and a tomato plant which bears tomato in the upper parts of the plant and the potato grows underground. The experiment was set following Randomized Complete Block Design consisting of four treatments and three replications.
ANALYSIS OF LOAD FREQUENCY CONTROL OF TWO AREA POWER SYSTEM USING DIFFERENT CONTROL TECHNIQUES
Authors: Md. Abu kaisher1, Abdullah Al Mahfazur Rahman1, Md. Moniruzzaman2*,Tawfikur Rahman2*, Nibedura Deb3
Published: 2024-June-30
To maintain stability is a mandatory requirement of any kind of power network. Interconnected power systems have significant advantages in maintaining stability and frequency at their nominal values. The control of the interconnected power systems is performed by Automatic Generation Control (AGC), which has two parts: the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) and Load Frequency Control (LFC). When a disturbance occurs in the system, Load Frequency Control (LFC) acts to re-establish the system into its steady state with zero error as well as the desired transient response characteristics.
SOLAR POWER GENERATION IN BANGLADESH: STATUS, CHALLENGES AND MEASURES
Authors: A K M Alamgir1*
Published: 2024-June-30
Efforts toward generation of electricity from solar source by various application technologies is now emerging in Bangladesh. To date, almost 3% of total electricity generation comes from various renewable resources, where 2% is contributed by solar power. Since inception of solar practice in mid 90’s, a collaborating effort by government and private organizations successfully set up a strong foundation of solar culture in the country being financially stimulated by the world donor agencies.
A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MACHINE LEARNING APPROACHES FOR EVALUATING THE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF POZZOLANIC CONCRETE
Authors: Matiur Rahman Raju1, Mahfuzur Rahman1,2*, Md Monirul Islam1,2, Noor Md.Sadiqul Hasan1, Md Mehedi Hasan3, Tarin Sharmily1, Mohammed Sajib Hosen1
Published: 2024-June-30
This study leverages machine learning techniques to predict pozzolanic concrete's compressive strength accurately. Using artificial neural networks (ANN), random forest (RF), and gradient boosting regressor (GBR) models trained on a dataset of 482 samples, the study divides the data into 70% training and 30% testing subsets with seven input parameters. Model performance is assessed through metrics like coefficient of determination (R2 ), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE).
OPTIMAL DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A GAS-GAS HEAT EXCHANGER FOR HARVESTING WASTE HEAT
Authors: Mostafizur Rahman1, Md. Mahedi Alam1, Dr. Debasish Sarker1*
Published: 2024-June-30
This study reports the design of an optimized heat exchanger capable of efficiently extracting and transferring waste heat from flue gas to air. An experimental setup was constructed to recover waste heat from the exhaust steam of a boiler, using this heat to warm compressed air. Thermocouples recorded the temperatures at the inlet and outlet of both the hot and cold fluids. A MATLAB code is developed to compare the experimental results.

TENSILE AND FRACTURE BEHAVIOUR OF SN/PB SOLDER AFFECTED ALUMINIUM SUBJECTED TO POST-DEFORMATION AGEING
Authors: Mohammad Salim Kaiser1*
Published: 2024-June-30
Abstract An efficient assessment of the mechanical characteristics of waste/scraped aluminum under a variety of operating circumstances is crucial to the exploration of its potential for reuse.
