The durability and reliability of battery management systems in electric vehicles to forecast the state charge (SoC) is a tedious task. As process degradation usually non-linear, it extremely cumbersome work predict SoC estimation with substantially less degradation. This paper presents lithium-ion using six machine learning algorithms for application. employed are artificial neural network (ANN), support vector (SVM), linear regression (LR), Gaussian (GPR), ensemble bagging (EBa), boosting...
India, which has the second-largest population in world is suffering severely from COVID-19 disease. By May 18th, India investigated ∼1 lakh (0.1million) infected cases COVID-19, and as of 11th July equalled 8 lakhs. Social distancing lockdown rules were employed however had an additional impact on economy, human living, environment. Where a negative was observed for economy life, environment got positive one. How dealt can potentially deal with these three factors during post situation been...
A new class of smart window technologies are gaining interest as they have the functionality to control dynamic solar radiation, shading, ventilation and energy production. They capable improving buildings' performance by adapting different climate conditions bring thermal visual comfort for occupants. Polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) is a switchable that changes its optical transmissions from translucent transparent when an alternating electric current stimulus introduced. The...
In this work, the experimental investigations were piloted to study influence of hybrid nanoparticles containing SiO2 and CeO2 on thermo-physical characteristics paraffin-based phase change material (PCM). Initially, prepared by blending equal mass nanoparticles. The hybrid-nano/paraffin (HnP) samples cautiously dispersing 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 percentage inside paraffin, respectively. synthesized examined under different instruments such as field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM),...
Transparent, superhydrophilic materials are indispensable for their self-cleaning function, which has become an increasingly popular research topic, particularly in photovoltaic (PV) applications. Here, we report hydrophilic and ZnO by varying the morphology use as a coating PV Three different microstructures, such nanorods (R-ZnO), microflowers (F-ZnO), microspheres (M-ZnO), were developed hydrothermal methods. The surface using X-ray diffraction (XRD), wettability behavior water contact...
Photovoltaic technology penetration is experiencing noticeable progress. However, its performance significantly affected by soiling, which influenced several factors such as site characteristics, weather, tilt angle and surface orientation, material dust properties. This indoor study investigates the effect of soiling on photovoltaic modules, focusing properties PV materials influencing factors. A Solar simulator, spectrometer SEM/ EDX were used to characterise investigate accumulation 13...
The semi-transparent photovoltaic (STPV) module is an emerging technology to harness the solar energy in building. Nowadays, buildings are turning from consumers producers due integration of STPV on building envelopes and facades. In this research, was integrated rooftop window experimental room at Kovilpatti (9°10′0″ N, 77°52′0″ E), Tamil Nadu, India. performance modules varies with respect geographical location, incident radiation, surface temperature module. regulated by introduction...
Abstract The accumulation of soiling on photovoltaic (PV) modules affects PV systems worldwide. Soiling consists mineral dust, soot particles, aerosols, pollen, fungi and/or other contaminants that deposit the surface modules. absorbs, scatters, and reflects a fraction incoming sunlight, reducing intensity reaches active part solar cell. Here, we report comparison naturally accumulated coupons glass soiled at seven locations spectral hemispherical transmittance was measured. It found natural...
The photovoltaic (PV) system is one of the most promising technologies that generate benevolent electricity. Therefore, fossil fuel-generated electric power plants, emit an enormous amount greenhouse gases, can be replaced by PV plant. However, due to its lower efficiency than a traditional plant, and equal power, large land area required for Also, transmission distribution losses are intricate issues plants. inclusion into building holistic approaches which reduce necessity such areas....
