Abstract
In this study, Khon Kaen and Phuket International Airports are chosen to analyze the glare effect using ForgeSolar and economic viability. Simulation is performed with fixed tilt and orientation as this study aims to provide glare-free solar photovoltaic (PV) sites for stakeholders without negotiating the energy generation. The solar site at Khon Kaen International Airport, a potential for temporary afterimage, occurred on KKC-PV-F1, KKC-PV-G3, KKC-PV-G4, KKC-PV-G5, KKC-PV-G7, KKC-PV-G10 for 3,564 min (flight path receptor (FPR)), 2,206 min (air traffic control (ATC)), 1,199 min (ATC), 438 min (ATC), 8,616 min (FPR), 1,743 min (FPR). Following that, low potential for temporary afterimage occurred on KKC-PV-G4 and KKC-PV-G7 for 2,589 min (ATC) and 5,850 min (FPR), respectively. Apart from these, KKC-PV-F1, KKC-PV-G1, KKC-PV-G2, KKC-PV-G6, KKC-PV-G8, KKC-PV-G9, and KKC-PV-G11 are naturally free from the glare effect for FPR and ATC. The Phuket International Airport, HKT-PV-G2, HKT-PV-G5, HKT-PV-R1, and HKT-PV-R2 solar PV sites are free from the glare effect. Overall, it is concluded that 3,350 kWp (KKC) and 4,300 kWp (HKT) solar PV systems are qualified as per Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations. Further, economic analysis shows that the payback period of the system is 8.34–9.65 years and the overall benefit of 3,462.11 M฿.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Energy Research (IJER) is dedicated to providing a multidisciplinary, unique platform for researchers, scientists, engineers, technology developers, planners, and policy makers to present their research results and findings in a compelling manner on novel energy systems and applications. IJER covers the entire spectrum of energy from production to conversion, conservation, management, systems, technologies, etc. We encourage papers submissions aiming at better efficiency, cost improvements, more effective resource use, improved design and analysis, reduced environmental impact, and hence leading to better sustainability.
IJER is concerned with the development and exploitation of both advanced traditional and new energy sources, systems, technologies and applications. Interdisciplinary subjects in the area of novel energy systems and applications are also encouraged. High-quality research papers are solicited in, but are not limited to, the following areas with innovative and novel contents:
-Biofuels and alternatives
-Carbon capturing and storage technologies
-Clean coal technologies
-Energy conversion, conservation and management
-Energy storage
-Energy systems
-Hybrid/combined/integrated energy systems for multi-generation
-Hydrogen energy and fuel cells
-Hydrogen production technologies
-Micro- and nano-energy systems and technologies
-Nuclear energy
-Renewable energies (e.g. geothermal, solar, wind, hydro, tidal, wave, biomass)
-Smart energy system
