چکیده
A genetic optimization approach has been used for the design of an external shading device in an office with a window and different glass characteristics. The primary energy consumption for heating cooling and lighting have been minimized. Simulations have been performed using the energy code ESP-r and lighting simulation package Radiance, the optimization loop has been driven by the software tool modeFRONTIER. Different optimal geometries for a panel shading device have been found.

Optimal Reconfiguration of Solar Photovoltaic Arrays Using a Fast Parallelized Particle Swarm Optimization in Confront of Partial Shading
Partial shading reduces the power output of solar modules, generates several peak points in P-V and I-V curves and shortens the expected life cycle of inverters and solar panels. Electrical array reconfiguration of PV arrays that is based on changing the electrical connections with switching devices, can be used as a practical solution to prevent such problems. Valuable studies have been perfor...
متن کاملABSTRACT TEMPLATE FOR ASim 2012
In this paper, parametric design approach is used to optimize the external shading device design, which take examples of horizontal shading devices and horizontal louver shading devices on south faced of buildings in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing. The optimize goal of whole year shading effect is “Shading in summer and solar in winter, both as much as possible at the same time”. In the first ...
متن کاملA Psychoacoustic Investigation on the Effect of External Shading Devices on Building Facades
Due to energetic and natural lighting factors, building facades often present external shading devices, but the acoustic properties of such devices have not yet been well studied. This study was carried out using a full-scale model of a portion of a shading device, in a semi-anechoic chamber, using traditional and sound absorbing louvres. The psychoacoustic effects produced by the shading syste...
متن کاملMaximum Power Point Tracker for Photovoltaic Systems Based on Moth-Flame Optimization Considering Partial Shading Conditions
The performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems is highly dependent on environmental conditions. Due to probable changes in environmental conditions, the real-time control of PV systems is essential for exploiting their maximum possible power. This paper proposes a new method to track the maximum power point of PV systems using the moth-flame optimization algorithm. In this method, the PV DC-DC co...
متن کاملEstimation of 3-D Parametric Models from Shading Image Using Genetic Algorithms
In this paper, a method for estimating parameters of a 3-D shape from a 2-D shading image using a genetic algorithms (GAs) is proposed. The shape of the object is represented by a superquadrics model, and then the model parameters are coded for being applied to GAs. The coded string is evaluated according to the similarity of the shading image calculated from the 3D model shape represented by t...
