Abstract The Nigerian government has promoted industrial development based on the area of policy implementation. The development of policy and the use of renewable energy in terms of solar and wind energy generation is very significant because of the role of generating energy from green sources in reducing environmental pollution. The aim is to study the efficiency of the solar-wind hybrid energy generating system and the policy assessment of its operations in Nigeria. This research is conducted via a rigorous literature review that cuts across the solar-wind hybrid renewable energy system, grid integration, and energy storage for solar and windmill systems. An alternative analysis is needed to develop energy sources from solar and Wind sources and to provide a strong policy for utilisation. After identifying the challenges, the study further discusses the challenges and future trends of solar-wind hybrid energy generating systems. Furthermore, to propose a solution, the study examined using the Benchmarking process for sustainable policy development for hybrid power generations via wind and solar. From the findings, the northern section has considerable potential, with a daily horizontal irradiation of 7kWh/m2, making it suitable for large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV). The wind speed varies accordingly, but it has a high wind speed of close to 9.5 m/s, which is also viable for energy generation. Therefore, this study will recommend that the Nigerian government relate with other manufacturing industries that are stakeholders in the energy sector to build a sustainable energy generation farm made of solar and wind energy in Northern Nigeria. These results will increase the development and growth of Nigeria's economy and improve the lives of the citizens.

Abstract — Modern computer systems depend heavily on memory interfacing to enable effective data flow between the central processing unit (CPU) and various memory devices. This essay offers a thorough examination of memory interfacing, examining its key components, difficulties, and suggested solutions. The study starts off with a description of memory interfacing and emphasizes its importance in getting the best system performance. It digs into the details of data transfer, highlighting how crucial it is for the CPU and memory modules to communicate effectively and reliably. We explore methods to maximise data transfer rates and reduce latency, including Direct Memory Access (DMA), caching systems, and pipelining. We thoroughly study addressing modes, another crucial component of memory interfaces. The exploration of direct addressing, indirect addressing, and indexed addressing modes highlights their function in gaining access to certain memory locations and obtaining data. The idea of memory hierarchy is examined, demonstrating how memory systems are arranged into several tiers based on speed, cost, and capacity. With a focus on cache memory, main memory (RAM), and secondary storage devices like hard drives and solid-state drives, the effect of memory hierarchy on memory interface is examined. The obstacles associated with memory interface are further discussed in the study, including compatibility problems, timing restrictions, electrical considerations, and the requirement for standardised protocols and standards. The incorporation of compatible components, observance of voltage and timing requirements, and adherence to industrystandard memory interface protocols are suggested as potential solutions to these difficulties. This study paper concludes by offering a thorough grasp of memory interfacing, its difficulties, and suggested remedies. This study adds to the body of knowledge on memory interface by examining data transfer, addressing modes, memory hierarchy, and compatibility difficulties. It also provides helpful insights for scholars and practitioners in the field of computer systems and architecture

Abstract The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) required the world into an accelerated approach to achieving sustainability goals and decarbonisation. To achieve these goals, the key Green hydrogen (GH) presents such opportunity for Africa with high renewable energy potential to make financial gains and create job opportunities for its rapid population growth through GH production. A significant opportunity for economic and social advantages for Africa may lie in the production and trade of GH. Investigation into the use of GH is gaining attention among researchers because it’s a clean energy source and a possible substitute for fossil fuels. The quest for clean, eco-friendly, and sustainable energy sources has increased researchers’ interest in the production of GH. This paper examines the GH production in Africa, its prospects and challenges. A brief overview of the GH description, applications, types by methods of production, prospects, challenges, future projections and recommendations was stated. Applications for the present and future of hydrogen are adequately discussed to buttress African nations' potential for GH production hub centres and the prospect of exporting GH because of abundant renewable energy resources. Currently, the high cost of GH is the limitation for its utilisation despite the varieties of its application. To achieve the decarbonisation goal, there is a need to reduce the cost of GH production which can be achieved by collaboration between Africans and Europeans. More concerted research is required to ensure cost reduction, process improvement, and commercialization perspective.

Abstract Africa, although blessed with various renewable energy sources, is overly dependent on fossil fuels for the production of energy. And this over reliance has a lot of disadvantages, one of which is air pollution which consequently causes greenhouse emissions. The aim of this study is to understand the existing energy and green hydrogen energy state and challenges in Africa. The challenges facing the continent as it regards green hydrogen systems are multifaceted in nature, they are issues such as political, social and technical shortcomings. Some of these problems are as a result of the poor policies and frameworks established by energy stakeholders in the region. This work also reviews already functioning green hydrogen production systems globally in order to apply relevant methods and processes as a solution to the problems. Green hydrogen is basically hydrogen that is produced by water electrolysis using renewable and emission-free energy sources such solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, ocean, etc. Relevant findings from the works reviewed are that improved and new processes are beneficial, the levelized cost of hydrogen is relatively cheaper, the state of the renewable energy sources will directly affect the hydrogen to be produced, and that hybridization renewable energy sources slightly reduce hydrogen cost. Finally, it is recommended that energy data should be made available as it promote research and development in the energy industry

Abstract Solidus and Liquidus temperatures are important parameters in processes such as welding and heat treatment as the temperature ranges at which the liquid weld metal begins to solidify and the base metal or filler material achieves its melting point by changes from a solid to a liquid state are crucial metrics in welding. The quest for optimality and stability of the process is a major concern to the professionals in the industry. The application of the surface plot in the investigation of the combined effect of input parameters on liquidus and solidus temperature was pursued in this study using Response Surface Methodology. The central composite design matrix was used to obtain data from sets of experiments. Expert software was used to design the experimental matrix and then a set of experiments was performed according to the matrix generated and surface plots were used to carry out a behavioral comparison. With the data collected from twenty experimental runs in this study, the result of the surface plot shows that a desired value of Liquidus and solidus temperature depends on current, voltage, speed, and the liquidus and solidus temperature decreases proportionately as the input parameters increase

Abstract The percentage yield of castor seed oil in green energy is an emerging area of interest in the quest for sustainable and renewable energy sources. The Castor seed and its oil which has been regarded as being particularly beneficial for both domestic and industrial applications is totally distinct within the Euphorbiaceae spurge family. This castor seed comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. Scholars have differing opinions on the amount of oil that may be produced from castor seed and their relative growth traits. he plants' varying development traits. In addition to establishing the relationship between the big and small castor seeds in terms of their development potential and oil extraction yield, this study is intended to close the gaping hole. The daily growth parameters were collected over a period of 146 days. The soxhlet extraction technique employed yielded thirteen (13) oil extraction data for both the big and small castor seeds. Using the paired sample t-test, response surface approach, and SPSS version 16, the obtained data were descriptively analyzed. According to descriptive statistics, the mean, standard deviation, and standard error mean of the pooled sample of both the big and small castor oil extraction yield were 51.02, 3.67, and 0.72, respectively. Big castor seed yield had a minimum value of 42.45%, a maximum value of 54.80%, a mean value of 51.69, and a standard deviation of 3.66. The minimum yield for small castor seed was found to be 41.36%, with a maximum value of 53.90%, a mean value of 50.35, and a standard deviation of 3.69. Our findings demonstrate that, at a reaction temperature of 94.14 oC and a reaction time of 520.92 minutes (8.68 hours), the optimal oil extraction yield of 55.76% from big castor seeds is much greater than the yield of 54.02% from small castor seeds. However, it is clear from our experimental result that the big castor seed shrubs exhibit growth traits and oil yields that are substantially greater than those of small castor seed shrubs.
