...Design and Life Cycle Cost Analysis of Off-Grid Photovoltaic Power Systems Mounir Bouzguenda, Abdelkader Tami, Azzeddine Ferrah, and Jihad Al-Khalaf Faculty of Engineering, Sohar University PO Box 44 PC 311 Sohar-Oman Tel: +968-820-101 ext 233 Email:m.bouzguenda@soharuni.edu.om Abstract--The interest in off-grid photovoltaic (PV) solar energy systems in villages and remote areas is increasing. This interest stems from several factors such as improvement in living standards, reduced capital cost, stricter environmental constraints, and national programs that encourage renewable energy systems. To promote the usefulness of such renewable energy systems, a simple design and cost analysis method was developed. Its purpose is system sizing and life cycle cost analysis. Key parameters such as energy consumption, storage requirements, solar resources and financing options are entered into the program. Results such as system size and project cost are computed. For the financial analysis, Internal Rate of Return and Payback Period are used as project evaluation techniques. The method was tested for four PV systems with different geographical conditions and energy consumption profiles. Results show that the PV systems can be attractive on economic basis if governments provide sufficient funding and incentives. 1. INTRODUCTION Photovoltaics offer consumers the ability to generate electricity in a clean, quiet and reliable way. Because the source of energy is...

...ACCOUNTING SYSTEM ANALYSIS & DESIGN ANSWER FOR TUTORIAL 3 There are several methods that systems analysts use to determine requirements for a proposed system. The requirements gathering techniques can be categorized into traditional, modern, or radical. The traditional requirements gathering techniques are interviews, questionnaires, , and documents analysis. The modern requirements determination techniques include Joint Application Design (JAD), group support systems, prototyping, and CASE tools. Business Process Reengineering (BPR) is a radical method for determining system requirements. Each of these approaches has advantages and disadvantages to system implementation and operation. 1. Briefly describe systems analysis and the major activities that occur during this phase of the systems development life cycle. (4 Marks) Answer: Systems analysis involves determining how the current information system functions and assess what users would like to see in a new system. Requirements determination, requirements structuring, and alternative generation and selection are the three primary systems analysis activities. 2. Describe THREE (3) traditional techniques for collecting information during analysis. When might one be better than another? (6 Marks) Answer: Traditional techniques for collecting requirements include interviewing individuals, interviewing groups, observing users, and document and procedure analysis. ...

...Manufacturing HR System Introduction Riordan Manufacturing is a global leader in plastics manufacturing market. The company has facilities in Albany, Georgia, Pontiac, Michigan, Hangzhou, China and San José, California. Riordan’s projected annual earnings are approximately $46 billion. The company began operations in 1992 with the company’s first functional Human Resources Information System. The current system is part of the financial systems package that tracks employee information. Recent analysis of the current HRIS has provided evidence indicating the system needs upgrading in order meet Riordan’s developing needs. To remain viable Riordan plans to update the current HRIS system with a more sophisticated HR system. The use of modern technology will be used to incorporate a variety of tools into a single integrated application. Plan The intent of this report will focus on Riordan’s current HRIS problems by developing a strategic plan for implementing a more advanced system. “The primary objective of the analysis phase is to understand and document the business needs and the processing requirements of the new system.” (Satzinger, J.W., Jackson, R.B., Burd, S.T., & Johnson, R., para. 26, 2004). Adjustments to Riordan’s HRIS will incorporate changes to the current financial system as well. Currently each location is experiencing problems with their financial and accounting system; thus, the problem stems from each location using a nonstandard system. The modern HR system...

...class tickets, rare and special foods from across the globe, and other high end gifts like jewelry and vacation packages (Dennis, 2013). With that in mind Kudler Foods systems analyst has identified three methods for gathering the correct requirements necessary to create a system for the Frequent Shopper Program. Research will be extensive and could be timely, however Kudler Foods plans to get a wide variety of input from the users, stakeholders, and management to guarantee success. On top of interviews and observations of users on the floor, Kudler Foods will also research inventory surplus and documents such as sets of legal forms, job descriptions to output examples like prototypes and layouts (Dennis, 2013). The first method discussed to gather all of this important information is more modern approach called prototyping. Followed up by another modern method of JAD (Joint Application Development) and will finish with more traditional measures. Prototyping is a key method that has a repetitive design and requires user feedback to build proper versions of the prototype. The information that is gathered by interview or documentation can be converted into a manageable physical system that can be studied hands on. Building a prototype system has the advantage of being able to be applied much like the actual system already in place. This presents a great opportunity to the team to find areas for improvement while eliminating areas they are no longer required. Once the prototype...

Software Requirement specification (SRS) is the reference for the developers to come out with best design to be developed .the product design is proposed and documented on Design document specification(DDS). The design approach defines the architectural modules of product with its communication and data flow representation. All modules in the design must be defined clearly with details in DDS Waterfall Model: waterfall model is used to approach for system analysis and design .waterfall model is the first modern approach model and it is also referred as linear-sequential life cycle model. in waterfall model the process is divided into separate phases .its very simple to use and understand . In this model each phase is completed before the next phase and no overlapping in phases. The design phase is the described into logical and physical design sub-phases.In the logical design phase the systems analysts will use the information collected in requirements phase to design the system of any hardware or software system. when the higher level logic is completed then the systems analyst begins transforming into physical design...

...European Journal of Operational Research, 2009, Vol 193, pp425-436 Authors: Baker P. & Canessa, M. Warehouse design: a structured approach Abstract: In spite of the importance of warehousing to the customer service and cost levels of many businesses, there is currently not a comprehensive systematic method for designing warehouses. In this paper, the current literature on the overall methodology of warehouse design is explored, together with the literature on tools and techniques used for specific areas of analysis. The general results from the literature have then been validated and refined with reference to warehouse design companies. The output is a general framework of steps, with specific tools and techniques that can be used for each step. This is intended to be of value to practitioners and to assist further research into the development of a more comprehensive methodology for warehouse design. Keywords: Facilities planning and design; Decision support models; Logistics; Warehouse design. 1 Warehouse design: a structured approach 1. Introduction Warehouses are a key aspect of modern supply chains and play a vital role in the success, or failure, of businesses today (Frazelle, 2002a). Although many companies have examined the possibilities of synchronised direct supply to customers, there are still many circumstances where this is not appropriate. This may be because the supplier lead times cannot be reduced cost effectively to the short lead times...

...nation created for Australia’s pavilion at Expo’70. The critique offered is from an environmental perspective, using this example to lead into a broader reflection on Australian design history’s ‘modernity problem’. We argue that although the examination of Australia as a socio-cultural context for the practice of design continues to engage scholars, the will to profess the existence of progressive Australian design has precluded significant examination of design’s regressive effects. The current environmental crisis is, as Arturo Escobar argues, ‘a crisis of modernity, to the extent that modernity has failed to enable sustainable worlds.’[1] Design is implicated here for its contribution to environmental degradation, as is design history for accounts that validate designers’ development of concepts, processes and products that impose the unsustainable on societies. The latter is pronounced in Australian design history. When modernity and its cultural manifestations are understood as European inventions, admitting limited scope for cultural exchange, claiming historical significance for Australian design inevitably involves the uncritical application of imported principles.[2] The halting attempts to write Australian design history are mostly bound up in proselytizing for the values and benefits of the modern and eulogising designers’ efforts to force change in the face of conservative cultural establishments and indifferent publics. Even the most recent treatments continue to be...
