Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructure of a Photovoltaic Electric LocomotiveFlorian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe paper proposes to start studies at the global level for the implementation of photovoltaic electric locomotives. The question the author asks is why such trains have not been implemented so far, is there no interest in such a thing? This may avoid the current rush to implement 5G technologies in an already extremely dangerous form for humanity, the rush … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 16 Nov 2019 · 7,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomated Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, J.E. Smith) Pheromone Trap Based on Machine LearningSimon H. Chiwamba, Jackson Phiri, Philip O.Y. Nkunika et al.Maize is the main food crop that meets the nutritional needs of both humans and livestock in the sub-Saharan African region. Maize crop has in the recent past been threatened by the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, J.E Smith) which has caused considerable maize yield losses in the region. Controlling this pest requires knowledge on the time, location and extent of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 12 · 19 Dec 2019 · 8,364 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (HPV/T) Systems: From Theory to ApplicationsErdem Cuce, Erman Kadir Oztekin, Pinar Mert CuceHybrid photovoltaic/ thermal systems are very promising clean energy harvesting devices where they can be used either standalone system or can be incorporated with other systems. In this study, historical developments leading to current Hybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (HPV/T) systems as it is used today and global findings to enhance the performance of HPV/T system through state-of-the-art analyses are presented in a … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 29 Jun 2018 · 7,871 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHYGLASS: Design Proposal for an Integrated Multifunctional Hybrid Glass-Steel StructureMaurizio Froli, Francesco LacconeContemporary cities demand smart communication infrastructures to facilitate the interaction of residents and visitors with the urban environment. Such systems are required to be network-connected, interactive, environmental-sensitive and energetically self-sustaining. Moreover, in outdoor applications they should mark an urban focal point and should be able to satisfy additional public requirements like illumination, transmission of information etc. In the framework of … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 7,254 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Energy for Aerospace VesselsRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.The advances in solar technology and electric propulsion now offer the promise of new, very capable space transport systems that will allow us to effectively explore the solar system. NASA has developed many concepts of space-powered spacecraft with power levels ranging from tens to hundreds of kilowatts for robotic and asteroid-driven missions and Mars. This paper describes two electrical/chemical propulsion … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2017 · 8,009 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview of Concentrating Photovoltaic Thermal (CPVT) CollectorsReza Danesh Azarian, Erdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceConcentrating Photovoltaic Thermal Collectors (CPVT) are in the centre of interest among solar collectors. CPVT collectors’ features such as high efficiency and multi-output stimulate researchers and industry partners to focus on this technology. Innovative design is the key point in achieving an efficient collector. In this study, a comprehensive research is conducted on the state-of-the-art developments in CPVT collectors covering … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 7 Jul 2017 · 8,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of Titanium Dioxide Self-Cleaning Coatings on Photovoltaic Modules for Soiling Related Losses ReductionAnnalisa Andaloro, Francesco FrontiniSeveral studies have assessed the influence of soiling deposition on Photovoltaic (PV) modules front-cover with regards to performance losses over time. In fact, soiling phenomena in PV systems are ascribed as responsible for medium and long-term yield reduction up to 16% over the first-year of outdoor exposure. Provided that PV technology is a low yield energy production source, maintaining module … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 5 Feb 2017 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFast and Robust Maximum Power Point Tracking for Solar Photovoltaic SystemsHuiying Zheng, Shuhui LiSolar Photovoltaic (PV) energy is becoming an increasingly important part of the world's renewable energy. In order to develop technology for efficient energy conversion from a solar PV system, this paper studies typical Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control techniques used in solar PV industry and then proposes a close-loop and adaptive MPPT method for reliable and rapid extraction of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 17 Jan 2016 · 7,779 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArchitecture of an Ultra-Low-Power Fully Autonomous Universal Power Conditioner of Energy Harvester for Wireless Sensor Networks: A ReviewYeo Kim Heng, Md. Shabiul Islam, Susthitha Menon et al.A fully autonomous Universal Power Conditioner (UPC) that can accept energy from any micro-energy harvester (e.g., photovoltaic, thermoelectric, electromagnetic, piezoelectric etc.) is proposed. Generally, UPC removes the need of multiple optimized source specific converters. But, the proposed UPC architecture will be Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) with maximized efficiency to support the low energy levels generated by harvesting sources. This UPC uses a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 28 Mar 2016 · 7,782 accessesView PDFCite
