Assessment of economic feasibility for gridconnected renewable energy system for a household application in Terengganu
This article extends the conference paper ‘Simulation-based method to evaluate PV/wind hybrid renewable energy system in Terengganu’. Instead of off-grid system considered in the conference version, inspired by feed-in-tariff introduced by The Government of Malaysia, this article includes grid-connected hybrid renewable energy system to examine their feasibility to be used as power supply for a household in Terengganu. In addition, this article compares the performance of grid-only system and hybrid grid-renewable energy systems in terms of cost of electricity and emission of pollutant. The payback period is also examined based on the current sellback rate. Sensitivity analysis is done to find the best sellback rate for a hybrid grid/PV/wind system to compete with a hybrid grid/PV system. In addition, the most optimal configuration is also determined by varying the value of solar radiation, wind speed and sellback rate. Generally, it is concluded that the hybrid grid/PV system is the most practicable choice to be used as power generator to supply electricity for a household in Terengganu
Microscopic DC-TDHF study of heavy-ion potentials and fusion cross sections
We study heavy-ion fusion reactions at energies near the Coulomb barrier, in
particular with neutron-rich radioactive ion beams. Dynamic microscopic
calculations are carried out on a three-dimensional lattice using the
Density-Constrained Time-Dependent Hartree-Fock (DC-TDHF) method. New results
are presented for the Sn+Ca system which are compared to
Sn+Ca studied earlier. Our theoretical fusion cross-sections
agree surprisingly well with recent data measured at HRIBF. We also study the
near- and sub-barrier fusion of O on C which is important to
determine the composition and heating of the crust of accreting neutron stars.Comment: Talk given by . Volker E. Oberacker at the 11th International

Microscopic study of CaCa fusion
We investigate the fusion barriers for reactions involving Ca isotopes
, , and
using the microscopic time-dependent
Hartree-Fock theory coupled with a density constraint. In this formalism the
fusion barriers are directly obtained from TDHF dynamics. We also study the
excitation of the pre-equilibrium GDR for the
system and the associated -ray
emission spectrum. Fusion cross-sections are calculated using the incoming-wave
boundary condition approach. We examine the dependence of fusion barriers on
collision energy as well as on the different parametrizations of the Skyrme
interaction.Comment: 11 pages, 13 figure
Heavy-ion interaction potential deduced from density-constrained TDHF calculation
We present a new method for calculating the heavy-ion interaction potential

Microscopic Calculation of Fusion: Light to Heavy Systems
The density-constrained time-dependent Hartree-Fock (DC-TDHF) theory is a
fully microscopic approach for calculating heavy-ion interaction potentials and
fusion cross sections below and above the fusion barrier. We discuss recent
applications of DC-TDHF method to fusion of light and heavy neutron-rich
systems.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure
Modelterpadu Pengelolaan Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Limboto
Watershed Conditions (DAS) Limboto has faced seriously problems of highly rates of erosion, sedimentation, spread of critical land, shift functions of forests and rarity quality water of river as a resutt of floods that always happen, water scarcity and the silting up of Lake Limboto. Therefore, the research has conducted as an integral part ofan effort to develop a model ofintegrated watershed management through mechanisms of payments for environment services (PES) and identify institutional forms. Through Valuation Method and Dynamic System ver.2.5 with 84 people of sample is found that preserving watershed area of Limboto will manage by integrated watershed management through the mechanisms of Payments for Environmental Services (PES) has potential to do in light of community participation and willingness to maintain the forest while maintaining the sustainability of the future of Environment and to proven society of social-and economic matters as has showed by analysis ofdynamic systems
