Investigating the Impact of Ground Albedo on the Performance of PV Systems (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kotak, Y., Gul, M. S., Muneer, T., & Ivanova, S. M. (2015). Investigating the Impact of Ground Albedo on the Performance of PV Systems.

Several factors influence the energy generation of Photovoltaic (PV) installations. A ground albedo value of 0.2 is widely accepted and is used in modelling of PV systems. Foreground surfaces may have different albedo and hence a constant albedo valu... Read More about Investigating the Impact of Ground Albedo on the Performance of PV Systems.

Performance evaluation of electric vehicle ventilation using directly powered photovoltaic fans (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
