    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.26, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09443

    Abstract The storage of solar energy in the subsurface in terms of heat is considered as a promising way for energy storage and conversion in future, which has a great potential to solve the temporal and spatial mismatch between energy demand and supply. Thermal energy storage in deep saline aquifers is capable to convert intermittent solar energy into high temperature stable geothermal energy. In this study, we propose a new solar energy storage and conversion system in which solar energy is firstly converted into heat using parabolic trough and then thermal energy storage in deep saline aquifer is conducted by high… More >

    Muhammad Munsif1,2, Fath U Min Ullah1,2, Samee Ullah Khan1,2, Noman Khan1,2, Sung Wook Baik1,2,*

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.2, pp. 1751-1773, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.038514

    Abstract Photovoltaic (PV) systems are environmentally friendly, generate green energy, and receive support from policies and organizations. However, weather fluctuations make large-scale PV power integration and management challenging despite the economic benefits. Existing PV forecasting techniques (sequential and convolutional neural networks (CNN)) are sensitive to environmental conditions, reducing energy distribution system performance. To handle these issues, this article proposes an efficient, weather-resilient convolutional-transformer-based network (CT-NET) for accurate and efficient PV power forecasting. The network consists of three main modules. First, the acquired PV generation data are forwarded to the pre-processing module for data refinement. Next, to carry out data encoding, a… More >

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.9, pp. 1-9, 2017, DOI:10.5098/hmt.9.8

    Abstract Numerical study of double-diffusive natural convection flow and entropy generation in 3D trapezoidal solar distiller was performed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In this research the flow, provoked by the interaction of chemical species diffusions and the thermal energy, is assumed to be laminar. Using potential vector-vorticity formulation in its three-dimensional form, the governing equations are formulated and solved by the numerical methodology based on the finite volume method. The main objective is to analyze the effects of buoyancy ratio for opposed temperature and concentration gradients and to focus the attention on three-dimensional aspects and generated entropy.
