Stirling Engine System for Green Energy

Stirling Engine System for Green Energy

Abstract

Stirling engine is the external heated engine that heat is sup-plied externally to the heater part of the engine. Thus, Stirling cycle engine can be employed with various sources of renewable energy such as biomass, biofuel, solar energy, geothermal energy, recovery heat, and waste. The integration of gasifier, burner, and heat engine as a power system offers more fuel choices of each local area with potential resources resulting independent from shortage and cost fluctuation of fossil fuel. This research aims to investigate the integration of the Stirling engine with a wood pellet gasifier for electric power generation. Biomass can be controlled to have continuously combustion with ultra-low toxic emission. Stirling engine, therefore, is a promising alternative in small-scale-electricity production. Even though many biomass-powered Stirling engines were successfully constructed and marketed but these engines and the use of biomass resources as fuel for power generation are quite new concepts in some developing countries. Especially, the capital cost of this engine is high and unaffordable for installation compared to other power systems. Therefore, this research aims to the study attractive and feasibility of the compact Stirling engine with green energy.

Objective

เนื่องจากความต้องการพลังงานที่มีมากขึ้น แต่เชื้อเพลิงฟอสซิลซึ่งเป็นแหล่งพลังงานหลักมีอยู่อย่างจำกัดและเป็นสาเหตุหนึ่งของมลพิษและภาวะโลกร้อน ดังนั้นพลังงานทางเลือกจึงเป็นกุญแจสำคัญเพื่อความยั่งยืนด้านพลังงาน ประเทศไทยมีศักยภาพของพลังงานชีวมวลจากเกษตรกรรม ดังนั้นการพัฒนาระบบผลิตไฟฟ้าที่มลพิษต่ำและสามารถใช้ได้กับแหล่งพลังงานทดแทนจึงจำเป็นอย่างยิ่ง โดยเฉพาะเครื่องยนต์สเตอร์ลิงซึ่งมีโครงสร้างชิ้นส่วนไม่ซับซ้อน ปราศจากการสันดาปภายในเครื่องยนต์จึงเป็นเครื่องยนต์ที่มีศักยภาพผลิตไฟฟ้าด้วยพลังงานสะอาดและเป็นมิตรกับสิ่งแวดล้อมและความสำเร็จของโรงไฟฟ้าเครื่องยนต์สเตอร์ลิง ในประเทศไทย เพื่อคนไทย

The Metaverse of KMITL Lifelong Learning Center (KLLC) and Data Management Center (KDMC) for Public Relations

This thesis aims to present the development of a metaverse project for the KMITL Lifelong Learning Center (KLLC) and KMITL Data Management Center (KDMC) for Public Relations at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, with the main goal of creating a metaverse prototype to promote learning and public relations through virtual reality technology for students, staff, and external individuals. In this project, the developers have created a metaverse system to simulate a virtual experience for users at the KMITL Lifelong Learning Center (KLLC) and KMITL Data Management Center (KDMC) for Public Relations at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang. Users will be able to access the system through a web application developed with Unity, which is the tool used to create the metaverse system. The design allows users to visit and interact with various locations within the building to promote public relations in a more widespread virtual format. The developers used Maya and Unity software to create a metaverse system for modeling 3D objects and managing various functions, providing users with a realistic and novel experience. This project is expected to promote learning and the dissemination of information in an easily accessible modern format, creating opportunities for education and learning for those who cannot travel to see the actual locations. This makes metaverse technology an important tool for effectively developing learning and engagement in the digital age.

Design of Feature "BAAC Good Worker" in Line OA BAAC Family

Currently, Thailand is facing the issue of an aging agricultural workforce and a shortage of labor. The hiring process for agricultural workers is primarily based on word-of-mouth within a limited, narrow area. This may have indirect negative effects in various aspects, such as the lack of basic selection criteria (experience, skills), budget control, and hiring processes. As a result, the idea of creating a job platform specifically for farmers was conceived.Currently, Thailand is facing the issue of an aging agricultural workforce and a shortage of labor.
