Abstract:
Dried products are widely used from the past because of their long shelf life, rich nutrient content and availability. Solar or shade drying methods have become the most widely used drying technique from past to date, due to no equipment requirement, cost and simplicity. However, this drying method has some disadvantages such as long drying time, contamination risk and requirement of large area and heavy labor. In this review, various drying methods applied in food are summarized. Then, solar energy assisted drying methods were examined in detail. Finally, solar energy-assisted drying methods involving energy storage are examined. Solar energy assisted drying is a very advantageous technique for economical production. The most important advantages of this technique are that the system can be designed in many different ways in order to provide the desired characteristics. In addition, the availability of various energy storage units contributes to the availability of the system.

Abstract:
This study investigates the multi-objective optimization of load dispatch of a solar-assisted coal-fired power generation system. The improved environmental/economic load dispatch model considers coal consumption, NOx emissions, and power purchase cost. The singular weighted method is utilized to solve this multi-objective and multi-constraint optimization problem. A power system that includes five power generators, one of which is retrofitted to a solar-assisted coal-fired unit, is also analyzed. It can be concluded that the loads of solar-assisted coal-fired units are higher than the original coal-fired unit, and with the increase of solar radiation, the gap between the loads of two units also increases. In addition, after retrofitting, the coal consumption, the NOx emission, and power costs of units reduce by about 2.05%, 0.45%, and 0.14%, respectively. From the study on the on-grid power tariff, where the tariff drops from 16.29 cents/kWh to 3.26 cents/kWh, NOx emissions drop from 12.31 t to 11.28 t per day, a reduction of about 8.38%. The cost of purchasing electricity decreases from $ 2,982,161.8 to $ 2,020,505.0 per day, a decrease of 32.25%. Therefore, when both coal-fired units and solar-assisted coal-fired units exist in a region, the use of solar-assisted coal-fired power generation units should be prioritized.

Abstract:
The main objective in doing the present study is twofold, namely (i) to review briefly the utilization of geothermally heated greenhouses and geothermal heat pumps in Turkey, since the system studied utilizes both renewable energy resources and (ii) to present the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a potential decision making method for use in a greenhouse integrated solar assisted geothermal heat pump system (GISAGHPS), which was installed in the Solar Energy Institute of Ege University, Izmir, Turkey. This investigation may also be regarded as the one of the limited studies on the application of the AHP method to GISAGHPs, as no studies on the GISAGHPS have appeared in the literature. In this context, an economic analysis is performed based on the life cycle costing technique first. The results are then evaluated by applying the AHP method to a study, which is a comparative study on the GISAGHPS and split system. The results indicated that the GISAGHPS is economically preferable to the conventional split heating/cooling system under Turkey’s conditions.

Abstract:
Solar assisted heat pumps (SAHPs) are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly heating systems that utilize solar energy in different configurations. In this study, the potential benefits of heating the evaporator inlet air using solar energy as a new method were investigated using a developed correlation. The study focused on a 4 kW air conditioner that achieved a COP value of 4.17 for heating with an indoor temperature of 20C and an outdoor temperature of 7C. The aim was to determine how the COP value, evaporator inlet air temperature, and total power consumption changed based on the amount of solar energy transferred when the system was supported using the mentioned method. It was observed that a solar support of 5000 W increased the COP value of the SAHP from 4.17 to 4.99.

Abstract:
The metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) technique is commonly employed for texturing the wafer surfaces when fabricating black silicon (BSi) solar cells and is considered to be a potential technique to improve the efficiency of traditional Si-based solar cells. This article aims to review the MACE technique along with its mechanism for Ag-, Cu- and Ni-assisted etching. Primarily, several essential aspects of the fabrication of BSi are discussed, including chemical reaction, etching direction, mass transfer, and the overall etching process of the MACE method. Thereafter, three metal catalysts (Ag, Cu, and Ni) are critically analyzed to identify their roles in producing cost-effective and sustainable BSi solar cells with higher quality and efficiency. The conducted study revealed that Ag-etched BSi wafers are more suitable for the growth of higher quality and efficiency Si solar cells compared to Cu- and Ni-etched BSi wafers. However, both Cu and Ni seem to be more cost-effective and more appropriate for the mass production of BSi solar cells than Ag-etched wafers. Meanwhile, the Ni-assisted chemical etching process takes a longer time than Cu but the Ni-etched BSi solar cells possess enhanced light absorption capacity and lower activity in terms of the dissolution and oxidation process than Cu-etched BSi solar cells.

Abstract:
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is a significant resource, especially for biomass-based monetization. In addition to its economic potential, it can also provide an effective pathway for decarbonization in the energy and chemical sectors. In this work, MSW monetization is coupled with the solar-assisted generation of “green” hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis. The dual utilization of electrolysis-produced hydrogen and oxygen offers several advantages, including the reduction in the carbon footprint, the tunability of the characteristics of synthesis gas (syngas) to conform to the values needed for the manufacture of various chemicals, and the reduction in the overall cost compared to systems focusing on hydrogen generation only. A superstructure is developed to represent the configurations of interest and serve as a basis for formulating an optimization program that can be solved to identify the optimal design and operating strategies. A multi-period optimization formulation is developed to identify the maximum profit subject to the various modeling equations and constraints. The environmental considerations are addressed using the ɛ-constraint method by iteratively varying carbon footprint cuts. A case study is solved for the City of Jeddah, and the results assess the tradeoffs of various design and operating strategies, their impact on profitability, and their environmental impact.

Abstract:
The substrate of solar cells with high haze, transparent, flexible, green and low coatings will be needed in the future. This paper reports a method for ultraviolet-assisted delignification of wood in an alkaline solution environment to improve the transmittance of “transparent wood”. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction image (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and transmittance-haze and chemical composition analysis were used to explore the mechanisms underlying the effect of ultraviolet-assisted lignin modification on the optical properties of “transparent wood”. The results show that UV-assisted delignification accelerates the rate of removal of lignin and chromogenic groups, which in turn improves the optical properties of the “transparent wood”, with UV-assisted lignin modification for 2 h increasing the light transmission of the “transparent wood” by 20%. UV-assisted delignification for 4 h and impregnation resulted in “transparent wood” with a transparency of 71% and a haze of 90%. This report provides a rapid and easy method to prepare high-quality “transparent wood”. The “transparent wood” with high transmittance and high haze is a potential candidate for transparent solar substrates. Meanwhile, this method is enlightening for high quality, fast and green preparation of other derived functional materials based on lignin wood.

Abstract:
A novel additive-assisted acidic etching method is proposed to improve the etched morphology of the diamond wire sawn (DWS)-processed multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) wafers. The proposed etching technique is a cost-effective method for surface texturization of DWS-processed mc-Si wafers, which can be used for large-scale production of Si-based solar cells. Moreover, the mechanism of additive-assisted etching is explained by decoupling the roles of surfactants and etching inhibitors. The additive-assisted etching of DWS-processed mc-Si wafers resulted in different morphology to the slurry wire sawn (SWS)-processed mc-Si wafers under optimized etching conditions. It has been observed that the etched morphology and reflectivity of DWS-processed mc-Si wafers are significantly influenced by the ratio of hydrofluoric acid (HF): nitric acid (HNO3) solution. High-quality etching morphologies have been obtained. Therefore, high-power conversion efficiency of 19.0% and open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.6386 V have been demonstrated by additive-textured DWS-processed Si-based solar cells. The improved power conversion efficiency and Voc can be ascribed to the reduced defect area of the wafer surface. In summary, the proposed additive-assisted acidic etching is an effective strategy to obtain the desired surface texturization of DWS-processed Si wafers for high-performance solar cell applications.

Abstract:
Abstract Demand for germanium (Ge) is rapidly growing in recent years in various fields including semiconductors, aerospace, and solar cells. However, the Ge resources are very limited in the world. Hence, in this work, microwave-assisted leaching and conventional leaching methods are employed for the leaching of Ge from the Ge-rich lignite ash (GA). The effects of leaching temperature, leaching time, initial acid concentration, oxidizing agent amount, and stirring speed on leaching of Ge were investigated and microwave-assisted and conventional methods of leaching were compared. Here, HCl solution is used as a leaching agent, and MnO2 is used as an oxidizing agent. From the results, the leaching rate of Ge was found to be 89.49% in the microwave-assisted method, and 83.62% in the conventional leaching method. The optimal conditions for microwave-assisted method include a leaching temperature of 65°C, a leaching time of 90 min, an oxidizing agent amount of 10 g/l, an initial acid concentration of 10 mol/l, and a stirring speed of 250 rpm. The leaching rate of Ge significantly improved in the microwave-assisted method as compared to the conventional method. Therefore, the microwave-assisted method is a suitable method for the leaching of Ge from the GA and is a novel way for the efficient utilization of Ge concentrate.

AbstractSuppression of spectral reflectance from the surface of solar cell is necessary for achieving a high energy conversion efficiency. We developed a simple method for forming nanocrystalline layers with ultralow reflectance in a broad range of wavelengths. The method is based on metal assisted etching of the silicon surface. In this work, we prepared Si solar cell structures with embedded nanocrystalline layers. The microstructure of embedded layer depends on the etching conditions. We examined the microstructure of the etched layers by a transmission electron microscope and analysed the experimental images by statistical and Fourier methods. The obtained results provide information on the applied treatment operations and can be used to optimize the solar cell forming procedure.

Abstract:
Biogas fermentation rate is largely affected by environment temperature, causing a much more difficult production of biogas digesters in cold winter, for most regions in China. Combining the abundant solar energy resources and biomass dry anaerobic fermentation together, solar thermal energy can guarantee the production of biogas in winter. With this method, the prediction of the appropriate fermentation temperature is required. In this study, the effect of temperature on biogas fermentation was studied. To predict the fermentation temperature, a heat transfer model of biogas fermentation based on a project in city Xuzhou, which assisted with a simple solar greenhouse, was established according to the heat transfer theory. The maximum difference between the measured and calculated fermentation temperature was 2%. The effect of biogas fermentation assisted by simple solar greenhouse in typical city of different climate zones, including severe cold region, cold region and hot summer and cold winter region, was studied with the combination of heat transfer model and temperature-based biogas production rates prediction model. The results showed that, the gas production rate of biogas fermentation increases with the increase of temperature in a certain range. Assisted by simple solar greenhouse, the biogas digester temperature is increased by 6~8°C compared with the previous one, ensuring a better daily gas production rate of 0.5~0.7m3/m3 in winter.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTSolar radiation assisted mixed convection boundary layer flow of Newtonian fluid along a non- reflecting, non-absorbing and ideally transparent semi-infinite vertical plate is studied here. Beer's law is used to express the solar radiation term. It is convenient to transform the non-linear dimensionless parabolic partial differential equations into (i) primitive variable formulation (PVF) and (ii) stream function formulation (SFF) before applying the numerical schemes. Coupled equations thus obtained from PVF are integrated numerically through implicit finite difference method together with the Gaussian elimination technique whereas block tridiagonal Keller-box technique is adopted to simulate the system of equations obtained from SFF. Numerical results from these two methods are also compared graphically in order to test the validation of the two schemes. However, due to less computation time and accuracy numeric results of shear stress, local Nusselt number coefficient, velocity and temperature profiles are obtained via SFF. It is found that velocity as well as temperature of the non-absorbing fluid enhances owing to the increase in solar radiation parameter.

Abstract:
Context. At present, an exponential growth in scientific data from current and upcoming solar observatories is expected. Most of the data consist of high spatial and temporal resolution cubes of Stokes profiles taken in both local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and non-LTE spectral lines. The analysis of such solar observations requires complex inversion codes. Hence, it is necessary to develop new tools to boost the speed and efficiency of inversions and reduce computation times and costs. Aims. In this work we discuss the application of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as a tool to advantageously initialize Stokes profile inversions. Methods. To demonstrate the usefulness of CNNs, we concentrate in this paper on the inversion of LTE Stokes profiles. We use observations taken with the spectropolarimeter on board the Hinode spacecraft as a test bench mark. First, we carefully analyse the data with the SIR inversion code using a given initial atmospheric model. The code provides a set of atmospheric models that reproduce the observations well. These models are then used to train a CNN. Afterwards, the same data are again inverted with SIR but using the trained CNN to provide the initial guess atmospheric models for SIR. Results. The CNNs allow us to significantly reduce the number of inversion cycles when used to compute initial guess model atmospheres (‘assisted inversions’), therefore decreasing the computational time for LTE inversions by a factor of two to four. CNNs alone are much faster than assisted inversions, but the latter are more robust and accurate. CNNs also help to automatically cluster pixels with similar physical properties, allowing the association with different solar features on the solar surface, which is useful when inverting huge datasets where completely different regimes are present. The advantages and limitations of machine learning techniques for estimating optimum initial atmospheric models for spectral line inversions are discussed. Finally, we describe a python wrapper for the SIR and DeSIRe codes that allows for the easy setup of parallel inversions. The tool implements the assisted inversion method described in this paper. The parallel wrapper can also be used to synthesize Stokes profiles with the RH code. Conclusions. The assisted inversions can speed up the inversion process, but the efficiency and accuracy of the inversion results depend strongly on the solar scene and the data used for the CNN training. This method (assisted inversions) will not obviate the need for analysing individual events with the utmost care but will provide solar scientists with a much better opportunity to sample large amounts of inverted data, which will undoubtedly broaden the physical discovery space.

Abstract:
The solar cell module absorbs electrons from sunlight where the electrons are converted through a semiconductor intermediary in the solar cell module. In Kalimantan, in particular, it has the potential to install a Solar Power Plant because it is traversed by the equator. However, there are various disadvantages of the Solar Power Plant, namely the building is quite large, so it needs extra monitoring so that all the conditions of the Solar Power Plant can be known. One of the data communication methods in question is using the telemetry method or long distance communication. There are many ways for the telemetry method, one of which is to use a wireless system with a connection to a cloud storage database. In short, data in the field can be sent to users wherever they are. Data sent to previous users is sent through a cloud storage database where the data can be accessed by anyone. For data sent from the Solar Power Plant in the form of incoming and outgoing voltages as well as incoming and outgoing currents. Based on the research results, it is known that the design of the data transmission system for incoming and outgoing voltages as well as incoming and outgoing currents is made from a variety of component tools used are the solar cell module, Robotdyn Mega Wi-Fi, voltage sensor, current sensor, SCC, inverter, and battery. In the process of sending data using a Wi-Fi router, data originating from the sensor is sent to Robotdyn where inside Robotdyn there is a Wi-Fi module which will then be assisted to be forwarded via a Wi-Fi router whose internet network source uses GSM. The data sent to the cloud storage database is assisted by the PHP programming language and to display the website using the HTML programming language.

Abstract:
Metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) currently attract enormous research interest because of their high solar-to-electric power conversion efficiency (PCE) and low fabrication costs, but their practical development is hampered by difficulties in achieving high performance with large-size devices. We devised a simple vacuum flash–assisted solution processing method to obtain shiny, smooth, crystalline perovskite films of high electronic quality over large areas. This enabled us to fabricate solar cells with an aperture area exceeding 1 square centimeter, a maximum efficiency of 20.5%, and a certified PCE of 19.6%. By contrast, the best certified PCE to date is 15.6% for PSCs of similar size. We demonstrate that the reproducibility of the method is excellent and that the cells show virtually no hysteresis. Our approach enables the realization of highly efficient large-area PSCs for practical deployment.

Abstract:
Abstract: Power generation using Photovoltaic (PV) cells is the primary source among renewable energy sources. The PV cell, which utilizes solar energy, turns solar radiation into electrical energy without adversely affecting the earth's atmosphere. The key issue regarding PV power generation is that solar irradiation varies with time on an hourly basis. To extract the high power from the PV panel during the change in environmental condition, Single-Ended Primary Inductance-Capacitor (SEPIC) based DC-DC converter, and a highly efficient Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm are used. In this study, an isolated SEPIC converter is used to charge the battery of an electric vehicle via a grid or PV source. The incremental Conductance (INC) algorithm is more efficient among the MPPT methods due to the accuracy in steady state and flexibility to the environment, increasing the system's overall efficiency. Therefore, this study uses the INC method to obtain high power output during the change in environmental conditions. The converter, MPPT algorithm, and controller are developed in MATLAB/Simulink environment, and the results are verified through the simulations. The results show the applicability of the SEPIC converter with INC for electric vehicle battery charging applications.

Abstract:
The requirement for energy is increasing worldwide as populations and economies develop. Reasons for this increase include global warming, climate change, an increase in electricity demand, and paucity of fossil fuels. Therefore, research in renewable energy technology has become a central topic in recent studies. In this study, a solar-assisted house heating system with a seasonal underground thermal energy storage tank is proposed based on the reference system to calculate the insulation thickness effect, the collector area, and an underground storage tank volume on the system performance according to real weather conditions at Jeju Island, South Korea. For this purpose, a mathematical model was established to calculate its operating performance. This mathematical model used the thermal response factor method to calculate the heat load and heat loss of the seasonal underground thermal energy storage tank. The results revealed that on days with different weather conditions, namely, clear weather, intermittent clouds sky, and overcast sky, the obtained solar fraction was 45.8%, 17.26%, and 0%, respectively. Using this method, we can save energy, space, and cost. This can then be applied to the solar-assisted house heating system in South Korea using the seasonal underground thermal energy storage tank.

And in order to prevent frosting on the surface of outdoor heat exchanger of the air source heat-pump, the solar energy assisted strategy was also applied in the heat-pump system.

Abstract:
Perovskite CsPbBr 3 has a band gap energy of 2.3 eV which has the potential for solar cell applications. The issue regarding the relationship between the different coating methods and the concentration has not been studied further. Therefore, this study focuses on analyzing the effect of variations in the concentration of CsPbBr 3 20 mM and 40 mM as well as d ifferent coating methods, spin-coating, dip-coating and drop-c asting on the morphology of the thin film. The ligand assisted reprecipitation LARP method was used to synthesize CsPbBr3 using control ligands, octylamine and oleic acid to obtain CsPbBr3 orthorhombic.Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observations show that increasing the concentration resulted in larger particle size, and the Drop Casting method resulted in a more fully coverage on thin film. Drop Casting and a 40 mM solution produced the highest solar cell efficiency of 1.4 %.

Abstract:
The decrease in conventional energy resources, environmental pollution issues and climate change are the leading factors inducing the increase of energy efficiency criteria. Trends to improve energy efficiency are mainly aimed at the construction sector as one of the leading sectors in energy consumption. In the paper the performance of the decentralized solar assisted heating systems (SAHS) for climatic conditions in Macedonia was analysed in order to assess its possibility to be integrated as part of the district heating system. The analysis is based on a holistic approach, in which the performance of the SAHS is generally functionally dependent on four factors: (1) the characteristics of each component, (2) the system structure and mutual interactions of the components, (3) the management method and (4) specific energy consumption for heating of the building. The specific analysis is directed toward the assessment of the solar fraction of the SAHS as a function of the building energy performance and system heating temperature range. The numerical modelling of the processes occurring in systems was performed with the dynamic simulation software TRNSYS. Both dynamic models of the solar bivalent system and reference building were developed. The dynamic model contributes to the flexibility of conducting parametric analysis. The obtained results from the parametric analysis were condensed in a general table upon which the analysis of system performance was performed.

Abstract:
The solar cell properties of crystalline BaSi2 and BaGe2 p–n homojunctions are explored using density functional theory combined with a nonequilibrium Green function method. In particular, the quantitative estimates of solar cell parameters such as photocurrent, open-circuit voltage [Formula: see text], short-circuit current [Formula: see text], and efficiency [Formula: see text] are obtained for LDA and GGA-1/2 functionals. The effect of temperature on solar cell parameters is included through electron–phonon coupling (EPC) using the special thermal displacements method. The magnitudes of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] for BaSi2 (BaGe2) at 300 K are found to be 27.35 mA/cm2 (26.1 mA/cm2), 0.84 V (0.78 V), and 18.0% (16.6%), respectively. Our study strongly suggests that the phonon-assisted photon absorption and thereby EPC significantly affect the photocurrent, and its inclusion is necessary for a proper description of various solar cell parameters. The computed solar cell parameters for BaSi2 (BaGe2) p–n homojunctions can be used as benchmark ab-initio quantum mechanical results and can be used in simulations based on continuum models.

Full text
Abstract:
The object of this paper is to develop a high antireflection silicon solar cell. A novel two-stage metal-assisted etching (MAE) method is proposed for the fabrication of an antireflective layer of a micronanohybrid structure array. The processing time for the etching on an N-type high-resistance (NH) silicon wafer can be controlled to around 5 min. The resulting micronanohybrid structure array can achieve an average reflectivity of 1.21% for a light spectrum of 200–1000 nm. A P-N junction on the fabricated micronanohybrid structure array is formed using a low-cost liquid diffusion source. A high antireflection silicon solar cell with an average efficiency of 13.1% can be achieved. Compared with a conventional pyramid structure solar cell, the shorted circuit current of the proposed solar cell is increased by 73%. The major advantage of the two-stage MAE process is that a high antireflective silicon substrate can be fabricated cost-effectively in a relatively short time. The proposed method is feasible for the mass production of low-cost solar cells.
