Solar air collectors are integrated into the air source heat pump in order to increase the performance of the heat pump in cold climate regions. The evaporator air is heated by solar air collectors. In this study, two ...

Solar power plants are installed in high and open places to receive high solar radiation. However, this leaves them vulnerable to lightning strike. Lightning strike affects power plants in two ways, directly and indirectly. ...

Since both heat and electricity are produced in the cogeneration system, residential heating can be done independently from the grid. Stirling engine is proposed to use for rural areas where electricity cannot reach. It ...

Transmission lines of the grid-connected solar power plants are affected by lightning strikes. According to the data taken from the malfunction report of the solar power plant located in the Aegean Region of Turkey, the ...

The current paper proposes a novel multi-generation system, integrated with compound parabolic collectors and a biomass combustor. In addition to analyzing the comprehensive system in a steady state, the feasibility of ...

The heat absorbed by the heat transfer fluid for cooling a concentrated photovoltaic thermal (CPVT) solar collector can be used for purposes such as residential heating and cooking. Because of the combined production of ...

The global climate crisis has led society toward cleaner energy sources. Another reason is the limited reserves of fossil energy resources. Efforts to increase the efficiency of photovoltaic modules (PVs) have gained ...

Due to environmental and economic reasons, thermal energy saving has gained more importance especially in industry. This study is concerned with the application of insulation to improve thermal energy storage in spherical ...

In this study, a coal-fired stoker boiler and a beta-type rhombic-drive Stirling engine were manufactured and tested. The performance of the coal boiler with a Stirling engine has been investigated experimentally for the ...

The literature deals specifically with compressed gas characteristics, solar radiation, storage volume and heat load fluctuation in aboveground storage and thermal energy storage (TES) applications. To prevent their negative ...
