Analysis of The Performance of A PV/PCM System in Variable Solar Radiation Conditions
Abstract: This paper studies the performance of a PV/PCM system operating at variable solar radiation conditions. The system has been tested for six different solar radiation levels, from 250 W/m2 to 950 W/m2 determining the steady-state temperature for every case. An algorithm has been developed to predict the steady-state temperature. This prediction has produced values within 97% accuracy of experimental data. A reduction of temperature up to 18.9ºC has been achieved. …

An Overview of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems
Abstract: Long-term evaluation and analysis of several factors should be done to propose a full-phase power generation system based on renewable energy sources. An accurate assessment of the potentially available resources should be done like measuring solar irradiation, wind speed, etc. We are designing a hybrid system where hybridization methods entirely consist of renewable energy sources—specifically solar photovoltaic (PV), wind, and gravity systems. Wind and solar are among the popular renewable …

Effects of Rotor-Blade Deformation onto Performance of Domestic Wind Turbines
Abstract: Paper is focused on the influence that blade deformations by torsion and bending due to drag, lift, and gravitational effects has on the performance of small wind turbines. A blade model of stiff finite elements connected by rotating junctions is used. Mechanical deformations are simulated by controlled gravity and torsional forces, and their effects are measured through the response of the wind turbine. Tests have been run before and after …

A Study on Integration of Solar Energy Sources
Abstract: As due to continuously industrialization and urbanization, demand of electrical energy around world is continuously increasing. Present available base load plants which are working on conventional fuels are not able to meet this increased demand of energy. So, renewable energy assets (RERs) can be used to meet the demands of electrical energy and supply power required to fulfill energy demand. There are some remote areas where continuous supply of energy …
