Power management system design and optimization for European Student Moon Orbitor (ESMO) by Muhammad Dzahir Mohamed Zain Affandi.

“…Based on the experimental results, the tracking algorithm of IC reaches as high as 92.05% which is higher than the P&O algorithm of just 89.49%. Another significant advantage of the IC is the speed of response under sudden change of environment conditions at which it can achieve 0.32 seconds response time which is 4 times faster than P&O. …”

Study on the combined sewage sludge pyrolysis and gasification process : mass and energy balance by Wang, Zhonghui, Chen, Dezhen, Song, Xueding, Zhao, Lei

“…For sewage sludge with a moisture content of 80 wt%, LHV(db) of sewage sludge should be higher than 18 MJ/kg and the pyrolysis temperature should be higher than 450 °C to maintain energy self-sufficiency when volatile from the pyrolysis process is the only energy supplier; when the LHV(db) was in the range of 14.65–18 MJ/kg, energy self-balance could be maintained in this combined process with fuel gas from char gasification as a supplementary fuel; auxiliary fuel was always needed if the LHV(db) was lower than 14.65 MJ/kg.…”
