Simulation of Solar Off- Grid Photovoltaic System for Residential Unit
Issue: Volume 4, Issue 3-1, May 2015Pages: 29-33Received: 27 October 2014Accepted: 4 December 2014Published: 19 December 2014DOI: 10.11648/j.ijrse.s.2015040301.15Downloads:Views:Abstract: The aim of this study is to design a solar off-grid PV system to supply the required electricity for a residential unit. A simulation model by MATLAB is used to size the PV system. The solar PV system is simulated with the case of maximum solar radiation on a sunny day. The results show that the average daily load requirement of the selected reside... Show More -
Experimental Analysis on Thermal Efficiency of Evacuated Tube Solar Collector by Using Nanofluids
Issue: Volume 4, Issue 3-1, May 2015Pages: 19-28Received: 22 October 2014Accepted: 7 November 2014Published: 24 November 2014DOI: 10.11648/j.ijrse.s.2015040301.14Downloads:Views:Abstract: This research is to study performance of a evacuated tube solar collector when silver (Ag(30nm)) + distilled water and oxide titanium (ZrO2(50nm)) + distilled water nanofluids was taken as the working fluid. With higher thermal conductivity of the working fluid the solar collector performance could be enhanced compared with that of distilled water.... Show More -
High Performance for Real Portable Charger through Low-Power PV System
Issue: Volume 4, Issue 3-1, May 2015Pages: 14-18Received: 29 October 2014Accepted: 10 November 2014Published: 12 November 2014DOI: 10.11648/j.ijrse.s.2015040301.13Downloads:Views:Abstract: This paper proposes a novel design for a solar-powered charger for low-power devices. The level of the charging current is controllable and any residue power is saveable to a rechargeable 9V battery. Two power sources (AC and solar) are used, and two charging speeds are possible. Quick charging is 20% of the battery output current (almost 180mA/hr)... Show More -
