The solar cooker was designed with an inclined aperture area, realized and experimentally tested at Applied Research Unit on Renewable Energies of Ghardaïa (32.39 °N, 3.78 °E, 463 m), Algeria. The developed cooker is equipped with one reflector mirror on its lid. The experiments have been carried out with the cooker empty, filled with one or two liters of water from 08:00 to 15:00 solar time, the thermal profiles of various components of the cooker were assessed at Ghardaïa site Sahara climatic conditions on clear days in both winter and summer months. According to the values of two figures of merits suggested by International Standards and evaluated by the experimental studies, the configuration with an inclined aperture area of the cooker resulted in good cooking performances, especially in winter when the sun’s elevation is low; keeping the realized cooker performances in range of the international standard tests. The results of this study indicate also that the average daily energy and exergy efficiency of the realized cooker was 16.2 % and 0.90 % respectively, during the experimental period, which indicate a significant difference between the results of energy and exergy analyses. Thus developing such a box solar cooker can improve the efficiency of the design and use a position of the system to prepare food in a shorter time.","PeriodicalId":314878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renewable Energies","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140512096","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}

This method has been applied to the behavior modeling and simulation of the grid connected PV system at the Centre de Developpement des Energies Renouvelables (CDER) in Algeria. The PV module (PVM) parameters has been identified in static with outdoor measurements of I-V curves in order to model the PV array generation. Using the Linear Reoriented Coordinates Method (LRCM), the prediction of maximum power point (MPP) of the PV array has been performed without using complicate approximations or Taylor series. In order to estimate the ac output power, a PV inverter performance model based on empirical relationship was used. However, an accurate identification of the inverter performance parameters is performed using an optimization algorithm, named Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm, and a moutput current and voltage. The simulation results were achieved through MATLAB/Simulink environment, for the setting and the testing of the models. The results show a good agreement between the measured and estimated results based on the identified parameters. The integration of the proposed method and the presented model present a simple way to estimate the expected system performance with a high degree of accuracy. This solution allows a development of automatic supervision, energy generation prediction and fault detection procedure.","PeriodicalId":314878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renewable Energies","volume":"46 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140512078","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 sources are made in the laboratory using the standard POCl3 diffusion technique. DOSS Diffusions were carried out in the temperature range 850-1050°C using sources with different doping levels obtained by varying the POCl3 partial pressure from 0.004 % to 4.28 %. The electrical profiles were measured using the Stripping Hall profiling technique. Phosphorus diffusion profiles with the complete elimination of the dead layer have been obtained over a large range of source concentrations for all investigated diffusion temperatures. The residual diffusion oxide thickness increased with both temperature and source doping level within the range 7.5-30 nm.

However, SEV are still facing important technical obstacles to overcome. They include batteries energy storage capacity, charging times, efficiency of the solar panels and electrical propulsion systems. Solving any of those problems and electric vehicles will compete-complement the internal combustion engines vehicles. In the present work, we propose an electrical propulsion system based on three phase induction motor in order to obtain the desired speed and torque with less power loss. Because of the need to lightweight nature, small volume, low cost, less maintenance and high efficiency system, a three phase squirrel cage induction motor (IM) is selected in the electrical propulsion system. The IM is fed from three phase inverter operated by a constant V/F control method and Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) algorithm. The proposed control strategy has been implemented on the texas instruments TM320F2812 Digital Signal Processor (DSP) to generate SVPWM signal needed to trigger the gates of IGBT based inverter. The inverter used in this work is a three phase inverter IRAMY20UP60B type. The experimental results show the ability of the proposed control strategy to generate a three-phase sine wave signal with desired frequency. The proposed control strategy is experimented on a locally manufactured EV prototype. The results show that the EV prototype can be propelled to speed up to 60km/h under different road conditions.","PeriodicalId":314878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Renewable Energies","volume":"3 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140511959","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}
