Research

Undergrad Thesis

My thesis focuses on Floating Solar Photovoltaics, with a particular emphasis on Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to identify the most suitable water bodies across Bangladesh for the installation of floating solar plants. By considering multiple criteria my research aims to pinpoint the most viable locations for these systems. Once the optimal sites are identified, a Techno-Economic Analysis is done to assess the feasibility of floating solar photovoltaics in terms of both technical performance and economic viability, aiming to advance sustainable energy solutions in Bangladesh. 

This study is ongoing and the manuscript is being ready for submission. So, enough information cannot be shared for now. 

Other Research Experiences

1. Evaluation of the combined sCO₂–ORC hybrid system's energy and exergy utilizing solar radiation and biomass from coconut shells 

This research was a CEP (Complex Engineering Problem) project in the Powerplant Engineering course at 8th semester. 

This CEP project focused on the validation of a hybrid power generation cycle that combines a Supercritical Brayton Cycle (SBC) with an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), using solar energy and biomass (coconut shells) as heat sources. The hybrid system offers continuous and reliable power generation while addressing the intermittency issues of solar energy by supplementing it with biomass combustion. The primary objective of this work was to replicate and validate the thermodynamic cycle analysis reported in the reference paper, using Engineering Equation Solver (EES). Specifically, energy and exergy efficiencies of the hybrid SBC–ORC system were reproduced under similar operating conditions. Key performance indicators such as turbine inlet temperature, compressor pressure ratio, and heat recovery effectiveness were examined. The results demonstrated a close alignment with literature values, thereby validating both the methodology and the performance of the proposed hybrid system. The hybrid configuration significantly improves exergetic efficiency compared to solar-only operation and ensures more stable power generation. 

This study was not submitted in any journals. 

2. Concentrating Solar Power: The State  of  The  Art in CSP Technologies and Promises for Bangladesh

I've worked on another study as 2nd author, The study provides a detailed overview of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). A comparative comparison based on important characteristics including operating temperature, solar concentration ratio, and land-use efficiency is included in the article along with a thorough explanation of their operational principles, mathematical modeling, and efficiency estimates. The technical and financial viability of executing CSP around Bangladesh is also evaluated by the study. In this study, I have contributed on the Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) and Linear Fresnel Reflector (LFR) segment.

This study is completed, and was submitted in some journals.
