Thin films on glazing play an important role in the design of solar energy conversion systems as thermal collectors or photovoltaic panels. Antireflective coatings based on porous silicon dioxide are well established in the field of solar collector glazing ...
Although mature technologies at competitive prices are largely available, solar thermal is not yet playing the important role it deserves in the reduction of buildings fossil energy consumption. The generally low architectural quality characterizing existi ...
Amidst a backdrop of rapidly increasing world-wide electricity demand, solar thermal power generation shows great potential for supplying the electricity needs of numerous countries in the Sun-belt regions of the world. In these regions, the absence of sig ...
This paper introduces a novel of mini-hybrid solar power plant integrating a field of solar concentrators, two superposed Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) and a (bio)Diesel engine. Turbines for the organic Rankine Cycles are hermetic scroll expander-generators ...
An electrolytic cell assembly, e.g. for use in solar panels, is formed by placing coated metal wires between the conducting layers of two conducting glasses, resp. A pressure force is applied to press the metal wires between the conducting layers and to br ...
Densification is generally assumed to exert negative impacts on urban daylight and solar potential, however, this paper demonstrates the possibilities to increase usable floor area and plot ratio without undermining the opportunities of daylight and solar ...
