  • Economic Performance of a Liquid-Based Solar Photovoltaic/Thermal (PVT) System Over Large Geographical Cities Around the World
    Master Level Thesis European Solar Engineering School No. 264, June 2020 Digital Mapping of Techno- Economic Performance of a Liquid-Based Solar Photovoltaic/Thermal (PVT) System over Large Geographical Cities Around the World Master thesis 15 credits, 2020 Solar Energy Engineering Author: Santhan Reddy Penaka Supervisors: Puneet Kumar Saini Xingxing Zhang Dalarna University Examiner: Solar Energy Ewa Wäckelgård Engineering Course Code: EG3022 Examination date: 2020-06-17 K i Abstract Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collectors are widely used to harness a large fraction of the solar spectrum to generate electricity and heat from a single collector. The circulation of the working medium will pass through the collector which cools down the PV cell temperature and also increases the water temperature, which will increase the electrical and thermal performance at the same time. PVT is an emerging technology and is demonstrated for domestic and industrial applications. There has also been a major gap for the techno- economic analysis of PVT system in different climatic conditions and further developing reliable financial models that can be applied in different regions. This thesis paper presents a techno-economic evaluation of a liquid-based PVT collector system developed by Abora Solar, Spain across a wide range of climatic conditions and contexts. The various performance indicators are visualized by digital mapping approach for 86 different locations all over the world. The databank obtained from the analysis is further used to establish a general correlation between collector performance and meteorological parameters such as Global horizontal irradiation and ambient temperature. The collector energetic performance is simulated using a validated and proprietary simulation tool developed by Abora Solar company.

While of great value, memoirs and oral interviews are primary source documents rather than finished history. The following pages are the personal remembrances of the interviewee and not the official opinion of the US Air Force Historical Program or of the Department of the Air Force. The Air Force has not verified the statements contained herein and does not ;issume any responsibility for their accuracy. These pages are a transcript of an oral interview recorded on magnetic tape. Editorial notes and additions made by US Air Force historians have been enclosed in brackets. When feasible, first names, ranks, or titles have been provided. Only minor changes for the sake of clarity were made before the transcript was returned to the interviewee for final editing and approval. Readers must therefore remember that this is a transcript of the spoken, rather than the written, word.

Developing countries are especially vulnerable to sudden toxic blooms and red tides because they lack the expertise and infrastructure to deal quickly with the resulting fisheries and public health emergencies. This international directory lists research scientists, fisheries managers, public health officials, aquaculture professionals, physicians, and animal health specialists who are experienced in dealing with toxic and harmful algal bloom events and their impact on fisheries and public health. The direc­ tory is intended to improve and accelerate international information exchange and rapid access to experts who can respond quickly to these outbreaks and thus help reduce the consequences to fisheries and public health.
