Design of Standalone Photovoltaic System to Meet Energy Requirements of Village in India
Abstract: AbstractThe demand of green and clean energy is increasing rapidly with gradual depletion of fossil fuels. With abundant solar irradiation throughout the country, solar Photovoltaic (PV) conversion has gained momentum in India, which is actively supported by government policies and incentives in the sector. In order to accommodate daily and seasonal variation of solar radiations, solar system must have proper energy storage device in the form of battery bank. In …

A Numerical Analysis of Solar Chimney Power Plant and Study of Parameters Effecting it
Abstract: AbstractA comprehensive theoretical solar chimney power plant (SCPP) model has been introduced to overcome the energy crisis. Numerical simulation performed on the 2-dimensional models of the SCPP. Different numerical models are taken into account by changing the geometrical parameters of the chimney inlet, absorber temperature, and chimney inclination angle and chimney outlet geometry. Air velocity, heat transfer coefficient, pressure, and turbulent kinetic energy are the some parameters taken into account …
