Integrated energy systems utilizing renewable sources are sustainable and environmentally substitutes for conventional fossil-fired energy systems. A new multigeneration plant with two inputs, such as biomass and solar energy, and four useful outputs, such as cooling, heating, power, and distilled water, is presented and investigated in this paper. The proposed system includes evacuated tub...

his investigation was carried out to reveal the impact of solar radiation on wind flow structure and pollutant dispersion in an urban street canyon of aspect ratio of one using the computational fluid dynamic (cfd) technique. the simulation results (velocity and concentration data) show that heating from building wall surfaces and ground lead to strong buoyancy forces as the air is heated by th...

an investigation on the thermal performance of the soil as geothermal heat energy storage medium has been conducted. the thermal characteristics of the soil storage and the heat transfer from a heat exchanger in the soil, surrounding and bottom surface will be discussed. this investigation forms a contribution to a project to realize such storage to be charged from a solar heating system. this ...

unglazed transpired solar collectors are widely used for heating outside air directly, these days. pre-heating ventilation air for large spaces and heating air for crop drying, are some of the applications of these kinds of collectors. the outside air is drawn straight from ambient, uniformly through the whole surface of a perforated absorber (transpired, dark-colored plate) exposed to the sun....

Significant progress has been made on maximising passive solar heat gains to building spaces in winter. Control of the space heating in these applications is complicated due to the lagging influence of the useful solar heat gain coupled with the wide range of construction materials and heating system choices. Additionally, and in common with most building control applications, there is a need t...

Induction Heating system utilizes electricity for the generation of heat, whereas solar energy is largely available energy source for generation of heat. Combining solar energy with induction heat generation technique is the efficient solution for the heat generation application. The proposed system presents an effective control scheme incorporated in half bridge series resonance induction heat...

In this paper solar assisted heating and absorption cooling system and domestic hot water needs for a hotel having fifty rooms in Antalya have been investigated. First of all, solar radiation and meteorological data for Antalya and heating and cooling loads of the hotel building are given. For the heating cycle, active systems using liquid as the working fluid; and for the cooling cycle, solar-...

Abstract In the current energy context, solar is cheapest source of renewable energy. Photovoltaic cells (PV) and air thermal collectors (ATC) are used to convert irradiation into electricity heat. this research a model for hybrid system consisting in photovoltaic panel behind which hot collector was designed tested. This produces both heat, from sun, based on principle two one. Romanian climat...
