The strengths and the weaknesses of different models for different conditions/locations were presented. In this paper, we focus on the validation STVAR/CMV blends for the same satellite-derived irradiance dataset. In a first step, the research of the equation defining the blended model is investigated, highlighting a linear combination of irradiance predicted from CMV and STVAR by least-squares fit, as being optimal. A benchmarking illustration as a function of the orographic context exhibits the reduction of their respective gaps forced by their separate application. Then, the analysis of spatial evolution of the linear combination coefficients, led us to propose a model that quantifies coefficients of the blended model as a function of site elevation that represents an effective proxy for the microclimatological/topographical nature of the considered location. The proposed model shows good performance with an averaged relative RMSE of 16.50% in the entire study area. This model can be an appropriate choice for short-term forecasting even under complex orography conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101174,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy Advances","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100043"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49884222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of renewable energy sources (RES) is an important step to mitigate emissions from farms. This paper develops and evaluates a market-integrated, cost-effective, and case-sensitive RES solution for livestock farms. For this purpose, the dairy farm at LVAT-ATB in Germany; which includes three barns for milk production with a total area of 3950 m², was considered. A solar PVT system is designed to most effectively use the heat recovery of the milk coolers and to use the thermal heat from the PVT system to lift the inlet temperature of an electric boiler (E-boiler) and reduce grid electricity consumption. The performance and monthly thermal output of the designed PVT system are evaluated using two different PVT collectors; Solarus (concentrated) and Dual Sun (flat plate). A preliminary analysis was performed to determine the PVT collector most suitable for the livestock farm here studied. The DualSun collector generated a higher electricity output than the Solarus C-PVT, however, the C-PVT was able to reach higher temperatures. Since the LVAT-ATB farm site included an existing heat recovery system, the integration point was carefully defined and a semi-automated system was incorporated to (1) use the heat from the heat recovery system as the inlet heat for the PVT system and (2), to use the PVT buffer tank as additional storage to store excess heat from the heat recovery system. Using this approach, a maximum amount of thermal energy can be stored. The PVT system would further raise the temperature from the heat recovery system and thus minimize the electricity consumption of the E-boiler. Furthermore, a draft layout of all the components and outdoor enclosure was presented. 24 Solarus PVT collectors running at mean temperature of 45 °C meet 16% of the annual hot water demand of the dairy farm by direct solar heat and this number of PVTs can supply up to 38% of hot water demand in summer months. The payback period for this system is less than 6 years and annual electrical energy utilization ratio and highest solar thermal fraction are 9.7 and 51.9%, respectively. Furthermore, 24 PVTs on an annual basis, generate slightly more than 4,200 kWh of electricity that can be used to offset electricity consumed by electric boilers in the LVAT farm.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101174,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy Advances","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100035"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49884227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accumulation on both the surfaces is assessed considering deposition, rebound and resuspension phenomena. The lift-off phenomenon of dust particle from ground is included additionally for the rear surface. This composite model is utilized to estimate soiling on both sides, which is extended to analytically assess the energy loss of the bifacial module. Experimentation has been carried out in four phases on a 10 kWp rooftop solar PV power plant. In the first phase, result shows soiling is less on glass than on the transparent back sheet-based rear surface. In the second phase, it is observed that surface density of dust on back surface for 34 days is 0.08 g/m², for 79 days 0.6 g/m² and for 126 days 1.8 g/m² which are deviated from model based calculated ones by 10%, 33.33% and 4.4% respectively. The surface density of dust accumulated on the glass-based rear surface is about (1/6)^th of the front glass surface, which is validated by the model also. The measured transmittance reduction is 3.2% for the back glass substrate and 29.6% for the front glass without manual cleaning for the test period. The model leads to the interesting result that the average energy generation loss for the bifacial plant is 1.4%/day compared to 1.7%/day for the monofacial plant since the generation enhancement from the rear surface more than compensates for the soiling loss from the back surface.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101174,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy Advances","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100046"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667113123000141/pdfft?md5=efb5ff0325cf346bb9c3e9eecf0b08ac&pid=1-s2.0-S2667113123000141-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135614414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A well-established durability testing method for the solar absorber is the procedure described in ISO 22975–3. This standard testing procedure is used to determine the long-term behavior and service life of selective solar absorbers for use in vented flat-plate solar collectors. The thermal and humidity stress on different samples of solar absorbers during long-term outdoor exposure at different extreme sites with harsh conditions, in tropical, alpine, arid and maritime climates, were monitored. The samples were optically characterized before and after the outdoor exposure. For collectors placed in marine environments, chloride ions from sodium chloride are considered to be a major corrosion agent in these regions. To compare the effect of microclimate and ambient conditions on the corrosivity for selected outdoor exposure sites, two sets of standard corrosion coupons (aluminum, carbon steel, copper and zinc) were mounted inside and outside the solar thermal collector, respectively. After the evaluation of the measured stress factors, temperature and humidity, it was found that the corresponding testing time of the procedure for high temperature and resistance to condensed water of the absorber surface test was less than that specified by the standard, ISO 22975–3. Therefore, the standard testing procedure is testing at higher thermal and humidity loads than the investigated extreme test sites.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101174,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy Advances","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100042"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49884223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, rooftop facet orientation distributions are presented and analyzed for all single-family buildings in the Swedish city of Uppsala, based on LiDAR-based data that consist of every roof facet from the around 13,500 single-family buildings in the city. From these distributions, novel methods to proportionally include less suitable roofs for every penetration level are proposed using a simple method based on normal and uniform probability density functions, and are tested for both time-series and stochastic hosting capacity analysis. The results show that under the assumption that the best roof facets are utilized first, a uniform distribution for rooftop facet azimuth and a normal distribution for rooftop facet tilt with parameters that depend linearly on the penetration level were shown to be accurate. The hosting capacity simulations demonstrate how the proposed methods perform significantly better in estimating the photovoltaic hosting capacity than the more common simplified methods for both time-series and stochastic hosting capacity analysis. The proposed model could help distribution system operators as well as researchers in this area to model the rooftop facet orientation uncertainty better and improve the quality of aggregated photovoltaic generation models and hosting capacity analyses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101174,"journal":{"name":"Solar Energy Advances","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100036"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49884218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
