Three built-in-storage-type solar water heaters of equal volume were tested under identical conditions for performance evaluation. One of these water heaters was rectangular and the other two were triangular. One of the triangular water heaters had a baffle plate and the other did not. The triangular water heater with baffle plate was found to be not superior to the rectangular one in efficiency during the heating period. However, it was more efficient during the cooling period. The triangular water heater without the baffle plate was found to be the most efficient one during both the heating and the cooling periods.

An investigation of optimum PV and wind energy system capacities for alternate short and long-term energy storage sizing methodologies Al-Ghussain, Loiy; Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek Keıth (Wiley, 2019-01-01) The goal of this study is to find the optimal sizes of renewable energy systems (RES) based on photovoltaic (PV) and/or wind systems for three energy storage system (ESS) scenarios in a micro-grid; (1) with pumped hydro storage (PHS) as a long-term ESS, (2) with batteries as a short-term ESS, and (3) without ESS. The PV and wind sizes are optimally determined to accomplish the maximum annual RES fraction (F-RES) with electricity cost lower than or equal to the utility tariff. Furthermore, the effect of the ...
Triangular built-in-storage solar water heater Al-Shariah, A.M.; Ecevit, Ahmet Berkant; Apaydın, Erdal (Elsevier BV, 1989) Triangular built-in-storage solar water heaters of different volumes are studied. These is good agreement between the mathematical model and the experimental results. The collectors are observed to operate with high efficiency during the heating period and also during the 24-hour cycle.
Evaluation of hybridsolar-wind-hydrogenenergy system based on methanol electrolyzer Budak, Yagmur; DEVRİM, YILSER (Wiley, 2020-10-01) In this study, it is aimed to meet the annual electricity and heating needs of a house without interruption with the photovoltaic panel, wind turbine, methanol electrolyzer, and high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell system. The system results show that the use of the 2 WT with 18 PV was enough to provide the need of the methanol electrolyzer, which provides requirements of the high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The produced heat by the fuel cell was used to meet the heat requ...
A discussion on performance parameters for solar-aided absorption cooling systems Ileri, A (1997-04-01) The overall performance of solar-aided heat pumps or air conditioners may be evaluated by first law based efficiency (i.e. COP), or second law based exergy-efficiency (effectiveness). However, it is usually desirable to separately investigate the contribution of solar energy. For this purpose, a parameter called the Fraction of Non-purchased Energy and defined as the ratio of solar originated (i.e. non-purchased) heat input to the total energy input is often used. While this ratio is satisfactory for a heat...
Simulations of a large scale solar thermal power plant in Turkey using concentrating parabolic trough collectors Usta, Yasemin; Baker, Derek Keıth; Kaftanoğlu, Bilgin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this study, the theoretical performance of a concentrating solar thermal electric system (CSTES) using a field of parabolic trough collectors (PTC) is investigated. The commercial software TRNSYS and the Solar Thermal Electric Components (STEC) library are used to model the overall system design and for simulations. The model was constructed using data from the literature for an existing 30-MW solar electric generating system (SEGS VI) using PTC’s in Kramer Junction, California. The CSTES consists of a P...
