Advanced Control of Domestic Grid Connected Photovoltaic Systems with Battery Storage
(Auckland University of Technology, 2017)With the increasing use of solar thermal energy systems and small-scale photovoltaic (PV) energy generation, there is a need to develop intelligent controllers to manage efficiently the energy generated by these systems. ... -
Building integrated solar concentrators for façade applications
(Auckland University of Technology, 2016)In this study a novel building façade integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPVT) collector was designed to produce both electricity and hot water. Based on the shortcomings of concepts presented in the literature, a simple ... -
Development and Analysis of a Solar Humidification Dehumidification Desalination System
(Auckland University of Technology, 2016)In this thesis, an investigation was performed in order to understand the performance of a solar humidification dehumidification (HDH) desalination system. Initially, a mathematical model of the system, including solar ... -
Factors affecting the optimal sizing of generators and storage in stand-alone hybrid renewable energy system
(Auckland University of Technology, 2016)There is a need to provide low cost electric power systems in a number of locations around the world. However, the size and cost of renewable energy generators and storage increase when they are used alone, due to the ... -
Feasibility Study of a Heat-powered Liquid Piston Stirling Cooler
(Auckland University of Technology, 2017)This thesis presents a feasibility study of the proposed liquid piston Stirling cooler or LPSC, which is a 4-cylinder double-acting alpha-type Stirling machine capable of utilising a heat input to produce a cooling effect. ... -
Utilisation of Waste Heat Energy from an Internal Combustion Engine for Tri-generation
(Auckland University of Technology, 2017)This thesis presents an investigation of the utilisation of waste heat energy from an internal combustion engine for tri-generation. In articulating this, a preliminary experimental investigation was performed which involved ... -
Wind Induced Heat Losses from Solar Dish-receiver Systems
(Auckland University of Technology, 2018)Parabolic dish-receiver concentrating solar power (CSP) plants are a promising technology for the generation of renewable electricity. However, the high operating temperatures of the cavity receivers mean the performance ...
