The mismatch between photovoltaic generation and residential load leads to relative modest rates of self-consumption of solar electricity unless expensive storage solutions are locally available. One alternative to batteries is the aggregation of demand of different prosumers, as the collective...

Energy demand profiling of varied stocks within the Faculty of Engineering is investigated, comprising of audit activities like the performance optimization of air-conditioners and other energy appliances. Using a newly-developed renewable energy (RE) calculator, standard energy performance...

Numerous efforts have been taken to exhibit scientific advancement in solar energy analysis. The current study attempts to demonstrate an approach for the solar resource variability analysis at a spatial scale in the southern states of India. This work utilized the satellite-derived modelled...

With buildings accounting for high electrical demand and GHG emissions in Japan, enabling higher penetration of hybrid renewable energy systems can significantly reduce their load demand. This paper proposes an efficient power control scheme and design for a hybrid renewable standalone system...

Energy accessibility especially electrical energy is considered as one of the most appealing factors to achieve energy sustainability. The purpose of this study is to investigate energy sustainability using renewable energies for two high potential cities in the south-east of Iran until the year...

In 2017, Bahrain's Cabinet endorsed the country's first national renewable energy action plan. The plan included the installation of residential solar photovoltaic cells as a means of using renewable energy in government-built housing units. This was followed by the establishment of the...

In this study, a Concentrated Photovoltaic/Thermal (CPV/T) air collector has been designed and a prototype is produced. The purpose of this system is to meet the needs of heating and electricity of the building of application in cold winter days. The prototype which has been produced is tested...

In this study, the effect of cell temperature on the photovoltaic parameters of mono-crystalline silicon solar cell is undertaken. The experiment was carried out employing solar cell simulator with varying cell temperature in the range 25-60 °C at constant light intensities 215-515 W/m2. The...

The purpose of this study is to compare the different empirical models used for estimation of solar radiation on tilted surface. For this, three isotropic and same number of anisotropic sky models were employed by using average monthly mean value of solar radiation on daily basis at Bhopal,...

This paper presents a study on impact of temperature on the performance of series and parallel connected mono-crystalline silicon (mono-Si) solar cell employing solar simulator. The experiment was carried out at constant light intensity 550 W/m2with cell temperature in the range 25-60 oC for...
