The Truncated Pyramidal Solar Concentrator (TPSC) is a four-mirror device configured as a square frustum, utilized in solar oven technology for medium-temperature applications. This study aims to calculate the concentration ratio and solar flux distribution on the receiver by ray-tracing incident solar radiation from the aperture until it strikes the receiver or escapes. Assumptions include solar rays as equal, symmetric straight lines tilted by the altitude angle and the solar azimuth...

The performance characteristics of an open-cycle solar assisted desiccant cooling system were evaluated using computer simulation. A computer program was built and developed to simulate the effect of various design and operating conditions on the performance of the individual components making up the simulated system. They include a V-corrugated plate type solar air heater, a rotary silica gel desiccant dehumidifier, a sensible cooler and an evaporative cooler. The overall system performance...
Renewable energy is considered an alternative source to reduce the use of conventional energy, as solar energy is among the most popular energy sources, and its radiation can be utilized to generate electricity when it falls on photovoltaic solar panels (PV Panels). In this study, a grid-connected monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic system with a total power of 32 kW, consisting of panels with a power of 400 W each, was designed and simulated. Simulation is necessary to analyze the...

This paper aims to supply electrical energy to oil wells located far from electrical power plants by designing and simulating a standalone photovoltaic (solar) system to feed the electrical loads of the following wells (A46, A60, A58) in the Al-Wafa oil field, which is located in southwestern Libya. This is intended to reduce the cost and effort of connecting these wells to the power grid, as well as to minimize environmental damage to the natural surroundings of the wells. Using the PVsyst...

The performance characteristics of a V-corrugated plate type solar air heater was investigated analytically using computer simulation. A Visual Basic computer program was built to predict the hourly instantaneous collection efficiency, useful energy gained and the outlet air temperature of the solar air heater. The effects of various design and operating conditions, such as mass flux, wind speed, absorber plate emissivity, and collector tilt angle and inlet air temperature, on the predicted...
