In this paper attempt to explore the potential of using the solar energy for space heating in the common Libyan houses. The heating demand of the common Libyan house with the local material and the weather of Tripoli area is found to be about 2357 kWh yearly at heating set point design temperature 18.3 °C. however, in case of the set point temperature is considered 22 °C, the heating demand is increased to 6409 kWh yearly. The study have shown that, the optimum solar system that covers most of the domestic and space heating demand of the common building is consists of 8 vacuum tubes collectors (DRC10) with total area of 13.92 m2 and storage tank volume of 1000 liters. This system achieves over 85% of the demand.

The spread of parabolic trough collector (PTC) in developing countries is rare due to its high manufacturing technique, special materials for building this system and its high cost. Several researchers suggested different alternatives for concentrated solar thermal and power systems. Among the various PTC alternatives, Semi-Parabolic Linear Fresnel Reflector (SPLFR) is considered a promising design to tackle the issue of manufacturing float glass mirrors in developing countries. In this study, an optical investigation was performed for different parameters of the SPLFR. With fixed strip mirrors widths of 45 mm, the heat flux was less affected by optical errors for a rim angle of 100°. Coupling errors have resulted in a compensation effect from which it was deduced that a control for non-random errors should be carried out for a better flux distribution. A displacement error of 6.2 mm with an offset angle of 45° has enhanced the optical efficiency for collecting rays diverged by the tracking error, thus an efficiency of 79% could be reached. This study also shows preliminary experimental results of a locally constructed SPLFR system.

Machine learning (ML) is increasingly touching all fields in our life and making huge impact on their improvement. In this paper, we present an overview of several used methods in ML to highlight their interest and the future trends. The paper gives a short tour on their use in Power system applications. Then, we focus on their use in solar PV systems for both energy generation and MPPT implementation. We expect to bring an insight to the latest progress in machine learning methods within power and energy systems in general and solar PV systems in particular.

Global resource constraints and climate change have led to rethink about the use of the combustion engine in traditional transport systems. As a result, automotive manufacturers and equipment suppliers are moving towards hybrid vehicles. This change is leading electronics designers to use Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology within power modules. The use of this new technology may call into question the reliability of the system, which is directly related to the device aging. Among factors that can influence component aging is temperature. This paper describes the internal structure of a chosen device which is presented in LGA (Land Grid Array) package in order to create a thermal model through a finite element study that aims at extracting an electrothermal model describing the real component behavior within power module.

In this paper, a comparative study between three chaotic carrier waveforms is carried out based on conducted Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). For this purpose, a High-Frequency (HF) model of single-phase transformerless grid-connected photovoltaic inverter topology is proposed and simulated using co-simulation technique between SPICE-based circuit software and MATLAB/ Simulink. The obtained results show that conducted emission is almost the same with sawtooth, triangular and inverse sawtooth carriers. Moreover, the performance in terms total harmonic distortion of the modulated output voltage is investigated to emphasize the importance of appropriate parameter selection of chaotic algorithms.

Sunshine energy is a green and a renewable source for the sustainable development of the society worldwide. It can be converted to useful heat using solar thermal collector. Nowadays, solar parabolic trough collector (PTC) is considered as an excellent alternative among solar concentrators. In the current study, a transient numerical analysis is carried out to investigate the performance of Solar-PTC integrated with storage tank using various nanofluids as heat transfer fluids in southern Tunisia climate. The effects of weather data, storage tank volume and adding nanoparticles as alumina (Al2O3) and copper (Cu) into pure thermal oil (Therminol-VP1) are taken into account on the modeling of the system. The numerical results were validated with experimental data reported in the literature and a good agreement was obtained proving that the mathematical model used in the present study is feasible and reliable. We found that the emerging of Cu particles in the Therminol-VP1 showed a higher peak temperature value even at low mass fraction when compared to the %Al2O3-VP1.
