OPTIMAL SOLAR POWER SYSTEM FOR REMOTE TELECOMMUNICATION BASE STATIONS: A CASE STUDY BASED ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SOUTH KOREA’S SOLAR RADIATION EXPOSURE
This paper aims to address both the sustainability and environmental issues for cellular base stations in off-grid sites. For cellular network operators, decreasing the operational expenditures of the network and maintaining profitability are important issues. Hence, this study addresses the feasibility of a solar power system based on the characteristics of South Korean solar radiation exposure t...

DETERMINATION OF THE OPTIMAL TILT ANGLE OF SOLAR COLLECTORS FOR DIFFERENT CLIMATES OF CHINA
The tilt angle with the horizon (with respect to the ground) of the solar energy system affects the amount of solar radiation received. This paper suggests a simple and universal method to obtain the optimum tilt angles by estimating the monthly mean daily global solar radiation on tilted surfaces facing directly towards the equator, which is based on monthly average daily global solar radiation d...

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PLC-BASED AUTOMATIC SUN TRACKING SYSTEM FOR PARABOLIC TROUGH SOLAR CONCENTRATOR
A sun-tracking system for parabolic trough solar concentrators (PTCs) is a control system used to orient the concentrator toward the sun always, so that the maximum energy can be collected. The work presented here is a design and development of PLC based sun tracking control system for PTC. Sun tracking control system consists of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a single axis hydraulic dr...

SOLAR ENERGY AS A FORM GIVER FOR FUTURE CITIES
Energy is considered as a main influence on urban configurations. However, there is a difficulty on translating the city models based on theoretical renewable energy concepts into practical applications. This study considers the possibility of understanding this future model as a transformation of the existing urban centres. With this objective, a methodology to intervene in existing cities based ...

SILICON BASED SOLAR CELLS USING A MULTILAYER OXIDE AS EMITTER
In this work, n-type silicon based solar cells with WO3/Ag/WO3 multilayer films as emitter (WAW/n-Si solar cells) were presented via simple physical vapor deposition (PVD). Microstructure and composition of WAW/n-Si solar cells were studied by TEM and XPS, respectively. Furthermore, the dependence of the solar cells performances on each WO3 layer thickness was investigated. The results indicated t...

COMPARISON OF GE, INGAAS P-N JUNCTION SOLAR CELL
In this paper, the effect of material parameters on the efficiency of Ge and InGaAs p-n junction solar cells which are most commonly used as the sub-cell of multi-junction solar cells are investigated and the results due to these two cells are compared. The efficiency of Ge (EG=0.67 eV) solar cell which is easy to manufacture and inexpensive in cost, is compared with the efficiency of InGaAs (EG=0...
