Thermal performance and microclimate test methods for flat-plate solar thermal collectors

2012

In this Master’s thesis testing methods, experimental setups and data evaluation procedures for flat-plate solar thermal collectors are presented. An official quasi-dynamic test method according to the EU standard EN 12975 for evaluating the collector’s thermal performance is described, and its applicability to an existing experimental setup is evaluated. The general practicality of this setup is also reviewed. Furthermore, a second experimental setup is designed to monitor the inside conditions, or microclimate, of a solar thermal collector, in order to assess the frequency of condensation occurrence inside the collector. This work’s results include that the existing thermal performance se…

A study of solar thermal absorber stack based on CrAlSiNx/CrAlSiNxOy structure by ion beams

2019

Renewable energies are foreseen as a major energy resource for next generations. Among several energy sources and technologies available, Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology has a great potential, but it needs to be optimised, in particular to reduce the costs, with an increase of the operating temperature and long term stability. This goal can be achieved by tailoring the composition and multilayer structure of films. In this work we present and discuss the results obtained from solar absorber coatings based on nitride/oxynitride structures. A four-layer film structure, W/CrAlSiNx(HA)/CrAlSiNxOy(LA)/SiAlOx, was deposited on stainless steel substrates using magnetron sputtering deposi…

The adoption of photovoltaic micro production systems in Finland

2016

A sustainable supply of energy is one of the most important requirements in order to achieve sustainable development. By using renewable resources society is not dependent on depleting reserves, but instead can have an inexhaustible source of clean energy. The rapid development of photovoltaics has led to lowered prices and increased efficiency making them more attractive alternative as a source of household electricity. Although governments play a key role in setting the constraints of how renewable energy is adopted, the wide-spread adoption of distributed electricity production ultimately depends on consumer decisions to buy them. This study examined the adoption process of photovoltaic …

Asymmetrical waveguide coupling by a tilted metal nanocone

2017

Kasvava uusiutuvan energian tarve ajaa tiedeyhteisöä etsimään uusia vihreitä energian lähteitä. Osana tätä tavoitetta, WISC-projekti pyrkii yhdistämään infrapunaa keräävän aurinkopaneelin normaaliin ikkunaan. Tässä tutkimuksessa me tutkimme sisääntulevan valon kytkeytymistä kallistuneesta kultananokartiosta laattamaisen aaltojohteen ohjattuihin aaltojohdemoodeihin; tavoitteena on esittää epäsymmetristä aaltojohteeseen kytkeytymistä. Tutkimus suoritettiin simuloimalla Comsolissa käyttäen kolmiulotteista äärellisten elementtien menetelmää. Ulospäin suuntautuva aaltojohteeseen sironneen valon energiavuo mitattiin 2.1 aallonpituuden päässä nanokartiosta. Tulokset viittaavat kahden samanaikaisen…

Multicriteria Decision Aiding for Planning Renewable Power Production at Moroccan Airports

2022

This study is about multicriteria decision aiding (MCDA) for the green airports program of the Moroccan Airport Authority ONDA. The goal of the program is to develop significant amounts of renewable power at airports. In particular, ONDA wants to select airports at which large solar and wind power parks should be built. Multiple criteria, including economy, technical feasibility, and environmental concerns, must be considered simultaneously. In this study, we apply Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA) for ranking the candidates to be developed into green airports. The analysis is conducted in phases with different sets of criteria. This study is the first application of MC…

Ecological and social impacts of photovoltaic solar power plants and optimization of their locations in northern Chile

2017

Large scale photovoltaic (PV) solar power plants are gaining popularity in Chile. Solar energy potential in northern Chile is one of the best worldwide and true deserts are considered ideal environments for solar power plant projects. Atacama Desert is one of the driest places on earth. Nevertheless, northern Chile is home for many endemic species with 40 different vegetation types. The thesis presents studies of ecological effects (I-II) and location optimization of PV solar power plants in northern Chile (III). For ecological impacts two types of PV solar power plant technologies were studied: fixed mount solar plant and solar- tracking mounts. Study units were placed below the mounts or …

Aurinkosähkön tekninen potentiaali Jyväskylässä

2014

Tutkielman tavoitteena on selvittää Jyväskylän asuinrakennusten aurinkosähköistä potentiaalia simuloimalla katolle asennettavan aurinkosähköjärjestelmän tuottoja ja vertaamalla niitä rakennuksen sähkönkulutukseen. Tarkastelu tehtiin tätä tarkoitusta varten suunnitellun MATLAB-ohjelman avulla. Laskennan pohjana käytettiin Jyväskylän yliopiston kemian laitoksen sääasemalta saatuja säteily-, lämpötila- ja tuulennopeusaineistoja vuosilta 2010 ja 2011. Tutkimuskohteina käytettiin viittä kerrostaloa, jotka sijaitsevat alle 1,5 kilometrin etäisyydellä sääasemasta. Tasakatolle sijoitettavat aurinkosähköpaneelit suunnattiin etelään 47 asteen kallistuskulmassa. Harjakatoille paneelit sijoitettiin lap…

Techno-economic pre-feasibility study of wind and solar electricity generating systems for households in Central Finland

2014

The objective of this work is to investigate the viability of a wind, PV or hybrid wind-PV system supplemented with battery storage for electricity production to meet the electricity consumption of a typical household apartment in Central Finland. The assessment criteria for the analysis were cost of energy and total net present cost of each system configuration. We selected the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER) software, RETScreen, and PVsyst in our analysis and finally only HOMER was considered for performing system optimization analysis because of the creditability of its results. A PV-battery system is recognized as the most economically feasible option in our si…
