Optimizing the orientation of solar photovoltaic systems considering the effects of irradiation and cell temperature models with dust accumulation
Al-Ghussain, Loiy; Taylan, Onur; Abujubbeh, Mohammad; Hassan, Muhammed A. (2023-01-01)
To cope with the growing installation capacities of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in desert areas, it is necessary to revisit the energy production models and the optimal angles of PV panels given the significant impacts of ambient temperature, wind speed, dust accumulation, and cleaning frequency. In this study, these four factors are examined for four PV technologies (polycrystalline, microcrystalline, monocrystalline, and thin-film) at three cities in Jordan, Egypt, and Tunisia using precise ground-lev...
Numerical investigation of circulating fluidized bed riser hydrodynamics for concentrating solar thermal receiver applications
Bilyaz, Serhat; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015)
Various heat transfer fluids and thermal storage materials are considered for concentrating solar power systems to improve the storage capability of the system which compensates the fluctuating behavior of the solar resources. Solid particles can be a good alternative since they have high sensible heat capacity. In addition, they are cheap, environmentally benign and chemically and mechanically stable at high temperatures. In this thesis, hydrodynamics of circulating fluidized bed solar receiver was numeric...
Modelling and performance analysis of linear fresnel collector for process heat generation for ice cream factory in Konya
Singh, Rahul; Baker, Derek Keıth; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017)
In this thesis, a linear Fresnel collector has been designed to supply solar heat for industrial process. Firstly, optical analysis using ray tracing is done to determine the effects of collector’s parameters, such as height of receiver, mirror width and profile, gap between adjacent rows and slope deviation. Afterwards, one-dimensional thermal model is presented which predicts surface temperatures of receiver components and heat loss. The results obtained from both optical and thermal studies are then benc...
Thin film (6,5) semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotube metamaterial absorber for photovoltaic applications
Obaidullah, Madina; Esat, Volkan; Sabah, Cumali (2017-12-01)
A wide-band (6,5) single-walled carbon nanotube metamaterial absorber design with near unity absorption in the visible and ultraviolet frequency regions for solar cell applications is proposed. The frequency response of the proposed design provides wide-band with a maximum of 99.2% absorption. The proposed design is also simulated with (5,4), (6,4), (7,5), (9,4), and (10,3) chiralities, and results are compared to show that the proposed design works best with (6,5) carbon nanotube (CNT) but also good for ot...
Analytical Modelling, Simulation and Comparative Study of Multi-Junction Solar Cells Efficiency
Hadjdida, Abdelkader; Bourahla, Mohamed; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Bekhti, Mohamed (2018-12-01)
Currently, solar energy is promising the primary source of renewable energy that has a great potential to generate power for an extremely low operating cost when compared to already existing power generation technologies. Increasing the efficiency of solar cells is a major goal and the prominent factor in photovoltaic system research. Current triple junction solar cells reach 30% and the next generation will bring 35% in 5 years to peak at 40%. These cells are used in space environment and in terrestrial sy...
