Effect of Dust Deposition on the Quantum Efficiency of BPS150-36 Polycrystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Modules during Winter Months in Pahou, Benin

Minadohona Maxime Capo-Chichi, Basile Bruno Kounouhéwa, Vianou Irénée Madogni & Macaire Agbomahéna · Advances in Research · 2018

Dust is the lesser acknowledged factor that significantly influences the performance of the PV cells/modules. We investigated analytically from optical models, the performance degradation of the BPS150-36 Polycrystalline silicon module, caused by the natural dust deposition effec...

Wave Energy Resources Assessment Offshore Benin from ERA Re-Analysis: Gulf of Guinea

Guy Hervé Hounguè, Basile Bruno Kounouhéwa, Mathias Adjimon Houékpohéha, Bernard Noukpo Tokpohozin & Vianou Irénée Madogni · Physical Science International Journal · 2018

Wave energy recovery in coastal zones can provide mitigation of flooding and play a very important role in the protection of the coastline. Wave energy potential off the coast of Benin has been investigated from ECMWF ERA reanalysis (ERA40 + ERA-Interim). ERA data have been adjus...

Wave Energy Impact on Benin’s Coastline Dynamics, Gulf of Guinea

Guy Hervé Hounguè, Basile Bruno Kounouhéwa, Bernard Noukpo Tokpohozin, Mathias Adjimon Houékpohéha, Vianou Irénée Madogni & Rafael Almar · Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology · 2018

Most of the shorelines around the world are affected by the phenomenon of coastal erosion, especially the Benin’s coastline. We investigated the parameters (significant height, peak period and peak direction) and wave energy potential offshore Benin from ECMWF ERAI reanalysis. ER...

Dynamics Simulation of Radial Flow Water in Aerial Roots of Corn by Deposit of Dew in Atmosphere Aerial Roots Continuum

Odjounchi Raoufou Yessoufou, Alexis Enagnon Médéhouénou, Gabin Koto N’Gobi & Basile Bruno Kounouhéwa · Asian Journal of Physical and Chemical Sciences · 2020

Maize plants have different aerial roots from those that serve as an anchor and develop on the stem and live in the atmosphere. Much literature has reported that aerial roots are able to absorb moisture from the air, and even reduce water loss. But very little is known about the...
