Abstract: In this study, the effective solar irradiation on PV surface, electricity generation, and performance ratios of a small-scale system were investigated for 100 kW on-grid in Konya, Turkey, by PVsyst software. Five different azimuth angles as -30°, -15°, 0°, 15°, 30° no-shading simulations with fixed optimum tilt angle 33°. As result, highest radiation comes to an 0° 1966.4 kWh/m², whic...

Although solar energy is one of the most abundantly available and inexhaustible forms clean renewable energy, its use suffers from economic barriers mainly linked to intermittence. This article aims at comparing a conventional reference system (national grid gas boiler) four different combined heating power systems, namely photovoltaic panels with solar-assisted heat pump, national thermal pane...

Buildings are the main energy consumers across world, especially in urban communities. Building smartization, or smartification of housing, therefore, is a major step towards grid smartization too. By controlling consumption lighting, heating, and cooling systems, can be optimized. All some part consumed future smart buildings must supplied by renewable sources (RES), which mitigates environmen...

Abstract Limitations such as maximum power consumption during peak hours, scheduled load shedding and unplanned brownouts are problems of weak stressed electricity grids. To compensate for shortage energy, the usage renewable energies is a solution delivering increased reliability consumers. Although sub-Saharan African countries suffer from unreliable grids, they benefit large amounts solar ra...

in this research the possibility of vine pruning fibers in combination with wood fibers was studied in order to fabricate medium density fiberboard. vine pruning fibers content in three levels of 0/100, 30/70 and 60/40 (weight percent) and press time in three levels of 4, 5 and 6 minutes were as variable factors. one layer panels with a density of 0.65 g/cm3 and thickness of 15 mm were made. th...

The ability of MicroScan rapid panels (Baxter MicroScan, West Sacramento, Calif.) to detect oxacillin resistance in 92 clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and 103 coagulase-negative staphylococci was evaluated by comparing results with those of MicroScan 24-h MIC panels and, to resolve discrepancies, oxacillin agar screening. Both panels were interpreted by the MicroScan WalkAway-96 syst...

The monitoring and control of low voltage distribution grids has historically been disregarded due to the unidirectional flow of power. However, nowadays the electric power system is being modernized to enable a sustainable energy system. This is assisted by the smart grids concept, which incorporates the new types of loads, the active energy consumers, often called 'prosumers', and the higher ...

Background: Heating and cooling in buildings represents a significant amount of the energy demand EU, but market penetration renewable solutions is still marginal. The SunHorizon project aims at proving viability benefits innovative coupling between heat pumps various advanced solar panels. Methods:</...
