In this paper, life cycle analysis has been carried out to evaluate overall performance of given rated stand-alone solar photovoltaic (SAPV) in terms of basic energy matrices, life cycle cost analysis, and earned carbon credit. Further, the experimentally calculated actual on-field life cycle...

One of the most attractive features of hydrogen as an energy carrier is that it can be produced from water. Hydrogen has the highest energy content per unit mass as compared to chemical fuel and can be substituted. Its burning process is non-polluting, and it can be used in the fuel cells to...

The majority of the world's photovoltaic module production is shipped to developing countries for a variety of applications, such as rural electrification, telecommunication, water pumping, cathodic protection, street lighting, etc. This flow of imported modules and systems, coupled with the...

This study is to search for possibilities of supplying the load demand of Kavakli campus of Kirklareli University with solar energy and the fuel cell power generating system (electrolyzer/hydrogen tank/fuel cell) by using the HOMER software due to the fact that hybrid power systems with...

The aim of this article is to describe how closely PV grid-connected inverters (of around 5kW) operate at the actual maximum power point. These inverters could be installed at any low voltage, PV grid-connected systems. To carry this study out, twelve 50Hz single-phase inverters were selected...

A simulation of shading effects in arrays with different string configurations has been done. Simulation has been performed using as the basic unit the solar cell, modelled in direct bias by the conventional one exponential model, and in reverse bias by an equation previously validated in...

Purpose By means of the massive environmental and financial reimbursements, wind turbine (WT) has turned out to be a satisfactory substitute for the production of electricity by nuclear or fossil power plants. Numerous research studies are nowadays concerning the scheme to develop the...
