This paper deals with the problem of optimal size of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system for residential application. It is assumed the PV system can input or output liberally the electricity to the utility electricity grid. A simple linear programming model is developed. The objective is to...

Energy–exergy analysis and parameter design optimization of the KCS-11 solar system with an auxiliary superheater are studied in low-grade thermal energy conversion (LTEC). Firstly, from a thermodynamics point of view, the corresponding calculation model is built to solve the system state...
