Heat transfer within a cavity of adiabatic walls and containing a heat source (electronic component), carried by a substrate (board), in one of its sides is investigated. The strategy is to use a phase change material (PCM) as a heat sink for cooling the electronic component. The choice of this type of material is justified by their high density of energy storage. A 2D mathematical model is developed using the enthalpy-porosity method. The effect of natural convection is considered during the PCM melting process. Numerical investigations are focused on determining the optimal orientation of cavity for efficient cooling and also on the effect of the type of PCM (organic or inorganic) guaranteeing a long operating time while avoiding any failure.

Smart Grids (SG) are emerging as a very promising technology meant to cope with the stringent worldwide demand on energy and on relevant ecologic measures. At the heart of the Smart Grids lie Smart Buildings (SB). SB are the building blocks of SG. Either residential or industrial, SBs are consuming most of the produced electrical energy. However, and in the context of SG, SBs are meant to produce energy as well and contribute to stabilizing the Demand/Response (DR) variance whereby produced energy is injected back into the SG. This occurs mainly in case of energy shortage in the main SG or in case of excess in energy production. To leverage “smartness” in buildings, continuous data monitoring (e.g., energy production/consumption levels) using wireless sensors, and real-time dissemination/processing of this data, is essential. To further boost buildings’ smartness, deploying context-awareness, whereby electrical appliances can be switched On/Off depending on context (e.g., presence and ambient temperature), would bring considerable added-value. In this paper, a blueprint for deploying a real-world SB testbed is presented.

Certainly the tracking systems ensure higher performance and reliability compared with fixed systems, however, the soiling affects negatively the productivity of the PV modules. There is, therefore, a paramount importance to propose a cleaning technique integrated into the biaxial tracker characterized by Tilt and Roll kinetic. In this paper, an innovative cleaning was developed for the biaxial tracker of HeliosLite which has recently installed in our RDI Solar Energy Platform at PSES in Rabat. Based on a critical analysis of several existent cleaning solutions of PV modules as well as the structure of the tracker, a functional analysis has been done of the problematic discussed. This technique, based on the use of telescopic arm connected to rotating brush, has successfully accomplished the important criteria aimed by this work namely: autonomy, stability, low cost and efficiency.

We study in this article the best way to transfer all the useful power of photovoltaic systems (Isofoton _75W). Knowing that on the current-voltage characteristic of the generator (which depends on the conditions of illumination, temperature, aging), there is an operating point where the power output is maximum, the optimization is to focus on this point in continuously by acting automatically on the load seen by the generator. This load adaptation is carried out using a static converter whose losses must be as low as possible and which can; moreover, provide a function for formatting an output quantity (continuous-continuous conversion). With voltage modification). We chose to use MPPT maximum power point search technology, based on the "Perturb and Observe (P & O)" algorithm, controlled by a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal. The aim of this work is the study of a DC-DC converter under Matlab / Simulink, used in photovoltaic systems (Isofoton_75W), and we are more specifically interested in the BOOST converter.

A number of conferences around the world have called to make serious efforts for preserving the environment in order to reduce the aerosols with urban and industrial origin. It is worth pointing out that maximization of the reduction of aerosols in atmosphere is feasible. This allows a gain, in terms of thermal energy in solar power plants. Consequently, the assessment of heat gained by reducing anthropogenic aerosol were achieved to (-5%, -10% and -15%), resulting for each 5% reduction of anthropogenic aerosol make 1% of heat gained against the actual aerosol esteemed as 2.2 of aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 550nm conforming respectively (22.3, 44.7 and 67.4) MW in the solar of heliostat field at Ouarzazate of 1.3 km of the extreme heliostat with 144 m2 of surface for each one. The average of attenuation atmospheric between heliostats and receiver tower is found respectively (9.4%, 8.9% and 8.5%) against 9.9% in the real situation.

This paper presents the modeling and control of a three-phase grid connected PV system. A new robust control has been proposed and utilized to connect the PV system with the utility grid. For the extraction of maximum power from the PV system, the Fuzzy Logic control is used due to its robustness and fast tracking response. And for the grid side control, a new robust control strategy based on the Active Disturbance Rejection Controller (ADRC) have been proposed, where the objective is to regulate the DC bus voltage as well as to control the injection of active and reactive powers into the grid.In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed control, a series of simulations have been made under the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.

PEM fuel cell model is developed in the ANSYS code. The proposed model can be used for studying the physical parameters effect on PEMFC performance. The main purpose of this study is to use a model for simulating the temperature distribution, (I-V) curve, as well as the current density distribution in the PEM fuel cell. The results showed that the performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is improving with increasing temperature. These findings can be used to gain a better understanding of the functioning of the PEMFC system.

Wind turbines employed today are fabricated from a variety of materials. Many of these materials act as insulators, effectively causing electrons to accumulate. As wind turbines operate, their blades sweep through the air causing friction to occur between the air and blade material. As a substance with the highest positive charge tendency, dry air as such typically found at most land-based wind farms pass their electrons onto the wind turbine blades by means of contact electrification, causing electrostatic accumulation. Unless properly discharged, this static electricity can be harmful to the sensitive electronics found within wind turbines. To further increase the power output of wind turbines in addition to promoting safe equipment operating conditions, this static electricity can be channeled into super capacitors for accumulation and storage. Once sufficient charge is obtained within the super capacitor, this static electricity can then be allocated to the power grid to further improve wind turbine power output. The scope of this research is to analyze the capability of channeling static electricity from wind turbine structural components into a super conductor for transmission into the power grid. This research is intended to (1) assess the means for successfully channeling electrostatic charge within wind turbines, (2) investigate the effect of electrostatic accumulation and discharge within super conductors located inside a wind turbine, and (3) assess the economic impact and feasibility of accumulating and storing static electricity within wind turbines for transmission into the power grid.

The composite Cobalt hydroxide/ternary nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur doped graphene (Co(OH)2/NSPGr) as catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The catalytic activity for ORR of catalyst samples were studied by rotating disk electrode (RDE) and rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) in alkaline medium. Compared to Co(OH)2 which shows a poor catalytic activity, Co(OH)2/NSPGr composite exhibits better catalytic performances, including more positive onset potential and higher limiting current density. Moreover, RRDE results indicate that the composite undergoes a 4-electron electrochemical process as well as a low production of hydrogen peroxide % H2O2. The enhanced performances of Co(OH)2/NSPGr composite could be attributed to the effect of heteroatom doping of graphene and also the strong chemical coupling between Co(OH)2 and NSPGr.

The purpose of this study is to define the effect of the Solar Parabolic Concentrator’s rim angle on the quantity of the reflected rays and the concentrated flux of the receiver. Six rim angles $15^{circ}, 25^{circ}, 45^{circ}, 60^{circ}, 75^{circ}$ and 90° have been studied and simulated using Comsol multiphysics which is a numerical simulation software based on the finite element method. A simulation was carried out under genuine states of ambient temperature and direct normal radiation in Rabat. The results show that the best rim angle is $45^{circ}. For$ this optimal value of the rim angle, the obtained concentration ratio is of the order of 71, the average received flux is about 61.13 $kW/m^{2}$ and the maximum temperature at the surface of the receiver is 676° C.
