A new eutectic chloride molten salt, MgCl2-KCl-NaCl (wt% 45.98–38.91–15.11), has been
recognized as one of the most promising high-temperature heat transfer fluids (HTF) for both …

The rather specialized field of solar and infrared radiation measurements has become
increasingly important due to the increased demands by the renewable energy and climate …

Due to the rapid increase in deployment and high penetration of solar power generation
worldwide, solar power generation forecasting has become critical to variable generation …

Climate change has become a major constraint to the development of rain-fed agriculture
due to the decline of rainfall. Therefore, irrigated agriculture is an alternative allowing …

This paper presents improved modeling and analysis of the levelized cost of energy (LCOE)
associated with photovoltaic (PV) power plants. The presented model considers the effective …

The energy sector of today's Rwanda has made a remarkable growth to some extent in
recent years. Although Rwanda has natural energy resources (eg, hydro, solar, and …

The penetration of renewable sources into the grid, particularly wind and solar, have been
increasing in recent years. As a consequence, there have been serious concerns over …
