By integrating Sunamp’s heat storage technologies with the ORC, according to the company it is possible to produce a more dependable distributed heat and power supply using a wide range of renewable heat sources, such […]
The Polymer Nanocomposites Laboratory at Texas A&M University, directed by Dr. Jaime Grunlan, is working with scientists at the Sandia National Laboratory to reduce or eliminate arc faults and corrosion in solar cells. Corrosion in […]
Highlights • Using pure and combined PCM enhances the electrical performance of a PV panel. • The current research is based on experimental studies of this enhancement. • An appropriate experimental setup was devised and […]
Highlights • A robust approach for the wind farm layout optimization problem is proposed. • The performance of a Gaussian-based wake model is compared to a top-hat wake model. • The proposed approach minimizes the […]
Highlights • FeCl3-modified resin was used as catalyst to produce biodiesel. • Kinetic model of the transesterification reaction was established. • Reaction conditions were optimized for transesterification process. • FeCl3-modified resin was ascendant to conventional […]
Highlights • Borosilicate is proposed to encapsulate high temperature PCM for thermal storage. • Capsules are tested in an experimental rig as a proof-of-concept. • A 1-D finite difference model describes the phase change in […]
Highlights • Economics dispatch has been solved using the proposed algorithm with inclusion of solar power plants. • Static case studies have been considered. • Cloud effects for full solar radiation and reduced solar radiation […]
Highlights • Novel simulation optimization risk management (SORM) models for micro-siting are proposed. • SORM models embed Monte Carlo simulation to estimate uncertain wind energy production. • SORM models conduct what-if analysis trading profit, cost […]
Highlights • We analyze Betz-Goldstein (BG) rotors for maximum power at any tip speed ratio and number of blades. • We prove that Glauert’s incorporation of tip loss in the blade torque and thrust equation […]
