Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEnergy Sources TodayNicolae Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe paper intends to go through some major energy sources that need to be further developed in order to provide the energy needed for an indefinite period of time. It is proposed that both water and solar energy, as well as wind energy together with nuclear energy, are important, but other modern energy sources capable of generating energy directly or … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 21 Aug 2019 · 6,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSustainable 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimal Planning and Design of an Environmentally Friendly Hybrid Energy System for Rural Electrification in IraqAli Saleh Aziz, Sara Ahmed KhudhierCurrent power systems create environmental effects because of the using of fossil fuels, specially coal, since CO2 is released to the atmosphere. Contrary to conventional energy sources, renewable energy sources produce a clean energy which is in general free of pollution, environmentally sustainable and technologically efficient. There is an increased interest in solar energy that can generate electricity with no … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 26 Jan 2017 · 7,803 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the keywordsSimulation and Experimental Analysis of a Demonstrative Solar Heating and Cooling Plant Installed in Naples (Italy)Annamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia et al.In this study the model of a Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) system and its experimental setup are presented. The SHC system under investigation is a demonstration plant installed in Naples, based on flat plate solar collectors and a single-stage LiBr-H2O absorption chiller. In addition, two vertical tanks are installed as storage system. The balance of system includes: A cooling … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 Oct 2016 · 7,802 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Prototype of a Small-Scale Solar Power Plant: dynamic Simulation and Thermoeconomic AnalysisAnnamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Maria VicidominiThe paper presents an innovative prototype of a solar power plant, purposely designed for small-scale applications such as residential and/or small commercial buildings. The system consists of 10 kWe Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) plant and innovative solar thermal collectors. In particular, 235 m2 of flat-plate evacuated solar collectors are designed to heat diathermic oil up to 180°C. A variable volume … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2016 · 8,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMethod of Efficiency Improvement in District Heating SystemsAndrey Gennadiievich Batuhtin, Maxim Stanislavovich Bass, Sergey Anatoljevich Ivanov et al.The article determines application potential of solar energy in conditions of sharply continental climate. It presents an energy-efficient solar energy recovery scheme in district heating systems, allowing to reduce capital costs and maintenance charges and to increase degree of substitution of conventional sources of heat. Versatility of systems using this method results in its multi-zone application: From a cottage-type house … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 1 Feb 2016 · 7,521 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDesign and Dynamic Simulation of a Combined System Integration Concentrating Photovoltaic/Thermal Solar Collectors and Organic Rankine CycleFrancesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia, Maria Vicidomini et al.This study presents the design of a novel ultra-high efficient solar power system. The system is equipped with a concentrating PhotoVoltaic/Thermal (CPVT) solar collectors bottomed by an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The basic idea is to use a high temperature CPVT device producing simultaneously electricity and hot diathermic oil. Then, this hot fluid is used to supply heat to the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 17 Apr 2015 · 8,654 accessesView PDFCite
