Two remote-sensing optical algorithms for the retrieval of the water quality components (WQCs) in the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System (APES) were developed and validated for chlorophyll a (Chl). Both algorithms were semi-empirical because they incorporated some elements of optical processes in the atmosphere, water, and air/water interface. One incorporated a very simple atmospheric correcti...

A solar driven cooling system consisting of a single effect H2O-LiBr absorbtion cooling module (ACS), a parabolic trough collector (PTC), and a storage tank (ST) module is analyzed during one full day operation. The pressurized water is used to transfer heat from PTC to ST and to feed the ACS desorber. The system is constrained to operate at the maximum ACS exergetic efficiency, under a time de...

The current research proposes an integrated computational method to consider the effect of urban microclimate and higher air temperatures on assessment building energy demands annual basis. A one-way coupling procedure is established generate datasets typical weather years that can capture particularities as a function their morphological geometrical characteristics, thus providing global persp...

People are increasingly using clean energy sources, contributing to environmental protection according the general trend of world. In form renewable energy, solar has contributed solving current pressing problems, such as pollution and air pollution, improving people’s quality life. The design power projects in Vietnam is mainly based on meteorological data sources from Meteonorm NASA. However,...

In this study; energy production values of three photovoltaic power plants in Kilis City and created systems by PVsyst simulation program having same characteristics with the said were analyzed. Energy data generated report for years compared. Also; average last was compared EİGM. Panel inverter information these ant annual temperature radiation coordinates used program. Meteorological location...

The building energy performance pattern is predicted to be shifted in the future due climate change. To analyze this phenomenon, there an urgent need for reliable and robust weather datasets. Several ways estimating projection creating files exist. This paper attempts comparatively three tools generating datasets based on statistical downscaling (WeatherShift, Meteonorm, CCWorldWeatherGen) with...

Abstract The Energy Performance of Buildings (EPB) regulations aim to reduce primary energy use and carbon dioxide emissions buildings, which are the result creating a comfortable healthy indoor environment. In this study, influence climate change on regulatory EPB calculation results is analysed for Flanders region in Belgium. analysis may be used by authorities better define nearly zero build...

Abstract This study investigates the techno-economic feasibility of installing a 3-kilowatt-peak (kWp) photovoltaic (PV) system in Kathmandu, Nepal. The also analyses importance scaling up share solar energy to contribute country's overall generation mix. technical viability designed PV is assessed using PVsyst and Meteonorm simulation software. performance indicators adopted our are electric o...

Abstract Concerns about building thermal performance and energy consumption are fast growing as they account for roughly 40% of worldwide annual use. Building construction in Nepal is controlled by the National Codes (NBC), which focus solely on structural considerations ignore behaviour. As a result, housing tends to be too much warm cold during summer winter respectively due lack passive heat...
