SOLAR SAIL SPACECRAFT BOOM VIBRATION DURING DEPLOYMENT AND DAMPING MECHANISMS
Atas, Omer; Demiral, Ertan; Tekinalp, Ozan (2015-08-13)
Boom deployment vibration analysis is presented for a solar sail 3U Cubesat. The damping of the boom vibration using shape memory alloys is examined. It is found that shape memory alloys do not reduce vibration below a certain level. Vibration damping via inherent friction in the deployment system is also considered. The analysis showed that the vibration may be completely damped due to the inherent friction in the deployment system.
Solar Sail Application with a Proposed Low Earth Orbit Mission Concept
Polat, Halis Can; Tekinalp, Ozan (2019-01-01)
Solar Sail applications utilizing the advantages of propellant-free and theoretically infinite specific impulse are widely investigated, especially for interplanetary/interstellar and near-Earth asteroid missions and non-Keplerian orbit designs. However, applications regarding to the Low Earth Orbit (LEO), specifically below 700 km, are rarely studied as aerodynamic drag is dominant. This study is aimed to harvest the LEO mission advantages by proposing an elliptical orbit design and control via continuous ...
Solar-hydrogen stand-alone power system design and simulations
Uluoğlu, Arman; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010)
In this thesis, solar-hydrogen Stand-Alone Power System (SAPS) which is planned to be built for the emergency room of a hospital is designed. The system provides continuous, off-grid electricity during the whole period of a year without any external electrical power supply. The system consists of Photovoltaic (PV) panels, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) based electrolyzers, PEM based fuel cells, hydrogen tanks, batteries, a control mechanism and auxiliary equipments such as DC/AC converters, water pump, pipe...
Solar envelope and form generation in architecture
Topaloğlu, Birol; Erkılıç, Mualla; Department of Architecture (2003)
This thesis analyses the issue of solar access in environmentally sensitive attitudes to architecture. The primary intention of the study is to scrutinize the relationship between solar access and building form (volume) and investigate the efficiency of solar control on / by this form by means of ءsolar envelope̕ technique which is, first, defined by Knowles and developed in different ways in the last 30 years. Solar envelope in Knowles̕ terms can be defined as the building volume resulting from shadow cast...
Solar Power Generation Analysis and Forecasting Real-World Data Using LSTM and Autoregressive CNN

Generated power of a solar panel is volatile and susceptible to environmental conditions. In this study, we have analyzed variables affecting the generated power of a 17.5 kW real-world solar power plant with respect to five independent variables over the generated power: irradiance, time of measurement, panel's temperature, ambient temperature and cloudiness of the weather at the time of measurement. After our analysis, we have trained three different models to predict intra-day solar power forecasts of th...
