  Analysis of shading and energy generation by PV overhang using different models

  By Netrasikha Sonowal, Sankar Barman, Hirak Ranjan Das

  Abstract: This paper presents the shading and energy generated by photovoltaic integrated overhangs in a building. The air temperature is greatly raised by sunlight entering through glass facades and windows that are not shaded. The overhang decreases the sunlit area of the windows thus decreasing the inside room temperature which decreases the requirement of cooling the rooms. The energy production by the photovoltaic modules has been calculated using three popular energy …

  Macro-flow Dynamics of Wind over C H and L type Buildings

  By Hirak Ranjan Das, Sankar Barman, Kalyan Kumar Das

  Abstract: Synoptic and downburst winds are most prevalent in the Indian subcontinent. This paper presents the analysis of the dynamics of these two winds around different buildings using numerical simulation. ANSYS CFX 18 code has been used for the simulation. To maintain accuracy in the results, the grid independence test has been considered. Three commonly used building types C, H and L have been considered for the study. For each type …
