Renewable Energy Sources in Campus

The University of Basrah is charchterized by the diversity of scientific and literary disciplines, including the College of Engineering which has built an integrated and clean energy system that has been used to supply the Colleges and their laboratories with clean energy.



The weather in Basrah province is sunny weather throughout the year, where rain falls exclusively a few times in the winter which made solar radiation is the most widely used source for generating renewable electrical energy. thus one of the most important achievements made by the university is building an integrated system for the production of clean energy, which is used to feed the college and its laboratories with clean energy by using solar panels.

Biodiesel

 The University of Basrah also has clean energy production projects using biodiesel and that allowed the Ecology Department at the College of Science to produce electrical energy using bioethanol as an alternative biofuel to petroleum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


The university has research the usage of the steam plant to produce clean electric energy. The boiler, turbine, condenser, and pumps represent the main part of the steam plant which is known as the steam pi plant. The second part is the solar thermal power plant, where steam is generated using the radiation of the sun instead of burning fuel in burners. In the above picture on the left, rows of concentrated solar collectors are shown that make the sun radiation concentrated at the water to obtain water vapor at High temperature and pressure to rotate the steam turbine, which in turn drives the generator. Other devices in the station are auxiliary devices such as the storage tank that contributes to storing the concentrated heat in the solar collectors, the superheater, and others.
