Performance assessments of ground source heat pump assisted by various solar panels to achieve zero energy buildings in cold climate conditions

This paper aims to perform a comprehensive performance analysis of a solar-assisted ground source heat pump (SAGSHP) system connected to various types of solar panels to enhance overall energy efficiency. While previous studies have examined integrating solar panels with heat pumps, comprehensive solutions like those presented here and performance evaluations in the zero energy building context have been lacking. This study developed various scenarios using three types of solar panels, photovoltaic (PV), photovoltaic-thermal (PVT), and solar thermal collectors (ST), to explore their simultaneous use. TRNSYS software was employed to analyze the complex system, comparing it to a conventional natural gas boiler system as a baseline. The findings revealed that the on-site energy use intensity (EUI) decreased from 78.6 kWh/m2 to 53.3 kWh/m2, a reduction of approximately 33 %, due to the SAGSHP's implementation. The combination of PVT and PV panels emerged as the most suitable option for the SAGSHP, aligning with the net zero energy concept. The SAGSHP system achieved a low EUI of 10.4 kWh/m2 in terms of primary energy. Additionally, the solar fraction, indicating the proportion of solar energy used, reached approximately 90 %. Thus, this study underscores the significance of evaluating various solar panel configurations during the preliminary design phase of SAGSHP systems to optimize energy performance and progress toward zero energy buildings.

To ensure an adequate supply of electrical energy, one can harness the potential of abundant energy sources, such as solar energy, which can be converted into electrical energy. Solar energy offers numerous advantages, including its environmentally friendly and clean nature, as well as its ability to avoid air pollution. The prevailing types of solar panels, namely polycrystalline and monocrystalline, are widely utilized, despite their considerable weight. However, in the future, the development of thin solar panels is expected, primarily due to their lightweight nature, which renders them suitable for a wide range of electronic devices. The objective of this study is to analyze the power productivity generated by thin solar panels. During sunny weather, the first thin solar panel generated power ranging from 0.87 watts to 15.60 watts, with the lowest value recorded as the minimum and the highest value documented as the maximum. Furthermore, under both sunny and cloudy weather conditions, the power generated ranged from 0.52 watts to 11.17 watts, with the lowest and highest values representing the minimum and maximum power outputs, respectively. Finally, during cloudy and rainy weather, the power generated ranged from 0.21 watts to 4.72 watts, with the lowest and highest values representing the minimum and maximum power outputs, respectively. This discrepancy can be attributed to the optimal absorption of power by thin solar panels under sunny weather conditions.

Tuning proportional integral controller to enhance the photovoltaic system performance

This paper presented a closed loop buck-boost converter controlled by using proportional and integral controller (PIC) for photovoltaic (PV) applications. The mathematical equations of design the solar panel type KC200GT and buck–boost converter is illustrated. The electrical behaviors of solar panel are examined at 1,000 light radiation and room temperature (25 °C) situation.

The suggested closed loop application through the converter preserves the constant voltage in the output spite of alterations to the input voltage, decreases settling time, overshoot and ripple voltage to minimum value that enhancement the efficiency of the converter. The results show that the PSO approach is improved than the ZN approach. The proposed model is constructed by using SimPower system tool box in MATLAB package.

Irradiation and Temperature effects on Modified SEPIC Converter Performance for PV Systems

The changing position and nature of the sun due to changes in ambient temperature and irradiance level throughout the day is the main difficulty with photovoltaic (PV) systems. This leads to fluctuations in power levels. Therefore, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) under these conditions is the main challenge. This paper proposes a new approach for directly operating at the maximum power point (MPP) at any value of solar irradiation and cell temperature without applying further mathematical processing to operate at that point. This technique is applied to a PV system containing a high-static-gain modified single-ended primary coil MSEPIC converter, which is characterized by high efficiency and high gain voltage. The performance of this converter is obtained with respect to load and output voltage variation under different climatic conditions in Hebron, Palestine. Solar panel type LG450N2W-E6 is selected as the PV generator in this system with 450 W at 41.1 V at MPP. The proposed model is analyzed and simulated in Matlab/Simulink, and m-file code.

Effect of dust on the operation of photovoltaic solar panels installed in the Hodna region - Experimental study

In this work, an experimental study of the effect of dust on the operation of photovoltaic solar panels was conducted in the Hodna region. For this, a monocrystalline type of solar panel was tested with a power of 100W. A quantity of dust was scattered for the first tests during the month of March 2022, then the voltage and current were measured. The second tests were conducted under outdoor M’sila conditions for two months. The results obtained show that the accumulation of dust on the surface of the panels reduces the passage of solar radiation on the one hand, and leads to a rise in the temperature of the panels on the other hand, which reduces the energy produced by the photovoltaic system. Therefore, periodic cleaning of photovoltaic solar panels is necessary.

Enhancing the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems has recently become a key concern because of the market demand for green energy. To obtain the most possible power from the solar module, it is imperative to allow the PV system to operate at its maximum power point (MPP) regardless of the climatic conditions. In this study, a comparison of distinctive Maximum Power-Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques is provided, which are Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Modified Variable Step-Size P&O, as well as Incremental Conductance (INC) and Modified Variable Step-Size INC, using a boost converter for two types of solar panels. Using MATLAB software, simulations have been performed to assess the efficiency of the solar module under several environmental conditions, standard test conditions (STCs), and sudden and ramp variations in both solar irradiance and temperature. The output power efficiency, time response, and steady-state power oscillations have all been taken into account in this study. The simulation results of the improved algorithms demonstrate an enhancement in the PV module performance over conventional algorithms in many factors including steady-state conditions, tracking time, and converter efficiency. Furthermore, a boost in the dynamic response in monitoring the MPP is observed in a variety of climatical circumstances. Moreover, the proposed P&O MPPT algorithm is implemented in a hardware system and the experimental results verified the effectiveness, regarding both fast-tracking speed and lower oscillations, of the proposed Variable Step-Size P&O algorithm and its superiority over the conventional P&O technique.

Integrated Solar Roofing

The internal conversion Integrated solar panel is a new type of solar panel that would be integrated into a traditional roof, rather than being installed on top of it. This could be an interesting solution to some of the challenges associated with traditional solar panels, such as the need for a separate mounting structure and the potential for shading. It could also potentially be more aesthetically pleasing, as it would blend in more with the rest of the building.

The panels are integrated with a cement base and a special glass on top of the plate, creating a traditional roof that generates electricity more efficiently.

Viability of renewable energy technologies under the Feed-in Tariff scheme in Hong Kong

Many countries and regions around the world have incorporated renewable energy use for the purpose of achieving resource sustainability, pollution reduction, as well as reducing the carbon footprint. Many cities around the world including Hong Kong have created Feed-in Tariff (FIT) schemes to encourage and provide incentives for renewable energy development. There is thus a need to study the feasibility of using renewable energy under the scheme. Energy generated from two prominent renewable energy technologies ‒ solar PV and wind turbines ‒ are studied for a hypothetical housing development in Hong Kong. To allow for increased knowledge of different types of solar panels and wind turbines that are available in the market, two different types of solar panels – the monocrystalline and amorphous silicon PV ‒ and two different types of wind turbines – the horizontal and vertical wind turbine ‒ are studied. The revenue that can be generated is then calculated based on a power company’s FIT scheme. The payback period required for each type of renewable energy technology development is also determined. The results show that solar panels are feasible for installation within the city, and both solar panels and wind turbines are feasible for installation on outlying islands outside the city such as Cheung Chau.
