This paper presents the comparative performance evaluation of three commercially available photovoltaic modules (monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and single junction amorphous silicon) in Taxila, Pakistan. The experimentation was carried out at outdoor conditions for winter months. Power output, module efficiency, ratio were calculated each effect temperature solar irradiance on these parameters investigated. Module showed strong dependence temperature. Monocrystalline polycrystalline...
The air borne dust deposited on the surface of photovoltaic module influence transmittance solar radiations from modules glazing surface. This experimental work aimed to investigate effect two different types (monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon). Two each type were used one pair was left exposed natural atmosphere for three months winter in Taxila, Pakistan. Systematic series measurements conducted time period corresponding densities. difference between output parameters...
This research aims to develop a simple mathematical model for performance evaluation of thermally exposed solar parabolic trough cooker. It was done under open environmental climate conditions domestic uses. The experimental setup consisted cooker made polished stainless steel having concentration ratio 9.867. efficiency analysis depicts that the resulted optical range between 53-33%, theoretical 50-30% and 38-5%. Additionally, maximum water temperature achieved 37.2 °C at outlet trough....
Desiccant evaporative cooling systems pave the path towards energy and environmental sustainability in buildings especially; however, direct coolers such configurations result high water consumption. The application of modern computational intelligence tools, including artificial meta-heuristic optimization algorithms, can improve operational comprehension desiccant while addressing minimization total footprints with maximization capacity. contribution/objective this research is to address...
To address the increasing energy demand, replacing conventional systems with non-conventional resources like solar power generation is crucial. Photovoltaic (PV) panels play a significant role in harnessing and converting it into electrical power. However, cells’ temperature dramatically influences panel’s performance, particularly hot climates. In this study, detailed mathematical model developed conducted simulations using three different phase change materials (PCMs)—RT21, RT35,...
An outdoor experimental study was carried out to investigate and compare the performance of three commercially available photovoltaic modules (monocrystalline, polycrystalline single junction amorphous silicon) under weather Pakistan for month January. Power output efficiency, module ratio are calculated each comparison is presented. Results have shown that mono-crystalline poly-crystalline perform better at high irradiance show poor in low conditions. Amorphous solar has light absorption...
An experimental study has been carried out to measure the performance of commercially available photovoltaic modules during summer months in climate Taxila, near capital Pakistan. The used are monocrystalline silicon (c-Si), polycrystalline (p-Si) and single junction amorphous (a-Si). analysis focused on measurement module efficiency, ratio temperature each at actual operating conditions using outdoor monitoring facility. measured results compared with already published data peak winter...
In this investigation, deionized water was used as base fluid. Two different types of nanoparticles, namely Al2O3 and Cu were with 0.251% 0.11% volumetric concentrations in the fluid, respectively. Nanofluids cooling rate for flat heat sink to cool a microprocessor observed compared pure water. An equivalent generator i. e. heated cylinder controlled experimentation. surface heaters, each 130 W power, responsible generation.
