Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFast 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach to Model Concentrating PV Cells Under Non-Uniform IlluminationHang Zhou, Yuehong Su, Gang Pei et al.Concentrating PV (CPV) cells are often designed optimally depending on solar concentrator characteristics and operating conditions to ensure the best system performance. Before reaching a PV cell, solar radiation may experience some optical losses caused by the different physical phenomena occurring in a solar concentrator. A particular issue with the CPV technology is the non-uniformity of the concentrated radiation, which … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2017 · 7,137 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal 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
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProblems of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic RaysAnna V. UrysonCosmic rays are energetic particles coming to the Earth from space. They bombard the atmosphere producing cascades of particles that spread over a large area when they reach the ground. Cosmic ray energies vary in the wide band from about 108 eV up to few 1020 eV. It is established that most particles with energies of ~ (108-109) eV come … …Space Science International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Dec 2014 · 13,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Architecture of Maximum Power Point Tracking for Ultra-Low-Power Based Hybrid Energy Harvester in Ubiquitous Devices: A ReviewMichelle Lim Sern Mi, Sawal Hamid Muhammad Ali, Md Shabiul IslamThis research work presents a novel architecture of an Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) based Hybrid Energy Harvester (HEH) consisting of multiple input sources such as kinetic, thermal and solar energy, harvested from passive human power. Having multiple ambient sources mitigates limitations caused by single sources especially for bodily-worn applications; however, this results in impedance mismatch among the different integrated sources. To overcome … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Experimental Investigation of PCM Capsules Integrated in Solar Air HeaterMahmud M. Alkilani, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Sohif MatProblem statement: Thermal Energy Storage (TES) process can reduce the time or rate mismatch between energy supply and energy demand. Organic latent heat materials are suitable to use as storage medium, however, the low thermal conductivity of these materials slow the thermal response during charging and discharging processes. Approach: A solar air heater integrated with (PCM) has been designed, fabricated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Study of Hybrid Water Heater with Evacuated Glass Tube Solar Collector and Rice Husk CombustionPiyanun Charoensawan, Chaiwat WannagositProblem statement: The thermal performance modeling of hybrid water heater with evacuated glass tube solar collector and flue gas of rice husk combustion was developed. The solar global radiation and ambient air temperature data used in the system modeling belongs Phitsanulok province from 7 am-5 pm in the summer season. Approach: The system can be divided into two parts, i.e., … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Temperature Dependence Coefficients of Amorphous Silicon and Crystalline Photovoltaic Modules Using Malaysian Field Test InvestigationSulaiman Shaari, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Nowshad Amin, Mohd Nizan KassimThe temperature dependence coefficients of amorphous silicon and crystalline photovoltaic (PV) modules using Malaysian field data have been obtained using linear regression technique. This is achieved by studying three test stand-alone PV-battery systems using 62 Wp a-Si, 225 Wp multi-crystalline and 225 Wp mono-crystalline PV modules. These systems were designed to provide electricity for rural domestic loads at 200 W, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Development of a Photovoltaic Power System for Tropical Greenhouse CoolingFaisal Mohammed Seif Al-Shamiry, Desa Ahmad, Abdul Rashid Mohamed Sharif et al.Renewable energy sources like photovoltaic (PV) panels are used today in many applications. Natural ventilation in tropical greenhouse is common method for ventilation, which gives higher inside temperatures compared to the outside temperatures. In addition, this type of ventilation is not enough to reduce high temperature inside the structure in low land areas. Thus the requirement of cooling is increased. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,213 accessesView PDFCite
