Research problems linked to this topic
- A geothermal heat plant is a not only a source of heat, but, in general, also a sink for relevant amounts of electricity, consumed mainly by the pump(s). This electricity demand is usually not given much attention although being decisive for operation costs.
- Photovoltaic (PV) power plant performance calculations are essential to predict the electrical energy injected into the grid.
- Solar-driven heating and cooling is a promising strategy for renewable energy usage, but poses a number of design challenges to increase efficiency and practicability.
- Solar radiation is an important variable for studies related to solar energy applications, meteorology, climatology, hydrology, and agricultural meteorology.
- Space cooling of buildings shows an increasing trend in energy use worldwide.
- The use of photovoltaic solar energy is a growing reality worldwide and its main objective is to meet electricity demand in a sustainable manner.
