Performance enhancement of self-cleaning hydrophobic nanocoated photovoltaic panels in a dusty environment
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
The efficiency of a photovoltaic (PV) panels drops significantly in dusty environments. The variation in temperature could have a substantial impact on PV panel cells, which could further lead to high deterioration and ...
Thermochemical splitting of CO2 using solution combustion synthesized LaMO3 (where, M = Co, Fe, Mn, Ni, Al, Cr, Sr)
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2020 , Article)
The effort of this paper was to recognize the inclusion of appropriate dopants that will upgrade the redox reactivity of La-based perovskites. By maintaining the fuel (glycine) to metal nitrate ratio () = 1, the LaMO3 ...
Power Generation Voting Prediction Model of Floating Photovoltaic System
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2021 , Conference Paper)
Solar energy is the most promising renewable energy within the Gulf area as annual solar irradiance is among the highest in the world (>2000kWh/m2). Therefore, countries within the Gulf area have focused their energy ...
Thermochemical splitting of CO2 using solution combustion synthesized lanthanum-strontium-anganese perovskites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Redox reactivity of La(1-x)SrxMnO3 (LSM) perovskites towards a solar thermochemical CO2 splitting (CS) cycle is investigated. The LSM perovskites are synthesized via a solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method using glycine ...
Phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications in greenhouses: A review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Greenhouses represent one of the largest energy-demanding sectors, requiring energy for indoor environment control for plant growth and crop yield. Thermal energy storage using phase change materials (PCMs) has been ...
Efficiency-Resilience Nexus in Building Energy Management under Disruptions and Events
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2022 , Article)
The efficiency and resilience have a negative correlation and they move in opposite directions. Both of them cannot be simultaneously enhanced and improving one of them deteriorates the other one. This article studies the ...
