Computational Algorithm for Performance Observations of ETC based Renewable Energy System

Abstract

The significance of solar energy is defined and utilized by various applications. Renewable energy utilization using solar thermal collectors has been presented. This study emphasizes the use of solar energy through the substantial utilization in various fields by absorbing the irradiated solar radiation and respective conversion, i.e., thermal energy through optimum collectors (e.g., evacuated tube collector ETC). The performing capabilities of ETCs are observed under the respective environmental circumstances and shown through a generalized representation of a computational algorithm for the performance analysis of the ETC-based renewable energy systems, which will be utilized by feeding the archetypal data in the form of MATLAB programming code to compute the respective output, specifically in terms of different temperatures at various segments of the elements, heat transfer coefficients and the overall yield of the day. It has been observed that the scale deposited meanwhile the operation required proper testing to opt for the best possible cleaning solutions and respective mechanisms, which must be functional periodically to assure enhanced performance through the ETC augmented renewable energy systems.
