Nowadays, optimization of solar systems is used to reduce system total cost, increased life cycle savings and improving thermal efficiency. It is very demanding for optimal utilization of solar resources to meet the energy demands. Various optimization techniques either deterministic or...

Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems are a relevant application of photovoltaics. In countries belonging to the International Energy Agency countries, 24% of total installed PV power corresponds to BIPV systems. Electricity losses caused by shadows over the PV generator have a...

In India, wind power has emerged as the leading green energy technology with an average growth rate of 30%. Wind power has been concentrated in few regions especially the southern state of Tamil Nadu, which maintains its position as the state with the largest wind power installation. Due to the...

Clathrate hydrate is an attractive technology for cold storage applications. It offers a high cold storage density and elevates the phase change temperature compared to water. It offers better heat transfer properties and improved cyclic stability compared to eutectic salts. This paper reviews...
