Received Nov 27, 2017 Revised Jan 25, 2018 Accepted Feb 26, 2018 Solar photovoltaic systems convert energy of light directly into electrical energy. This work presents, a process to compute the required size of the standalone solar photovoltaic generator based water pumping system for an existing area. In addition solar photovoltaic generator is connecting voltage source inverter fed vector con...

. introduction most of the warming over the last 50 years has been caused by emissions of carbon dioxide (co2) and other greenhouse gases due to human activities. observed changes in the climate due to increasing greenhouse-gas concentrations have made it essential to investigate these changes. the general circulation model (gcm) is the most current method of investigating climate change studie...

It is well known that local urban heat island (UHI) effects impact the urban environment from a public health standpoint and with regards to heating and cooling energy used by buildings. Unfortunately, neither urban planners and designers nor energy consultants currently have quantitative tools or methods at their disposal to incorporate this effect into the design of a neighborhood. This manus...

Stochastic daily weather time-series models ("weather generators") are parameterized consistent with both local climate and probabilistic seasonal forecasts. Both single-station weather generators, and spatial networks of coherently operating weather generators are considered. Only a subset of parameters for individual station models (proportion of wet days, precipitation mean parameters on wet...

Solar parabolic concentrating collectors are widely and efficiently used in electrical generation. They were experimentally validated in worldwide pioneer plants. SEGS-VI 30 MW solar power plant built in southern California is one of these plants that was commissioned many years ago. In this work a possibility of installing such plant in Makkah, 21.4 °N located in moderate latitudes is studied....

This paper presents the results of a global sensitivity analysis (GSA) of a phenomenological model that generates dynamic wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) influent disturbance scenarios. This influent model is part of the Benchmark Simulation Model (BSM) family and creates realistic dry/wet weather files describing diurnal, weekend and seasonal variations through the combination of different g...
