A novel Window-Integrated Concentrated Photovoltaic (WICPV) system proposed suitable for window integration, has been fabricated and characterised at 1000 Wm-2 (higher irradiance)and 500 Wm-2 (lower irradiance). This paper investigates the use of a c... Read More about An Experimental Investigation into Passive Temperature Regulation of a Novel WICPV System with Phase Change Material.

Experimental and numerical investigation of thermal performance of a crossed compound parabolic concentrator with PV cell (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Li, W., Paul, M., Sellami, N., Mallick, T., & Knox, A. (2016). Experimental and numerical investigation of thermal performance of a crossed compound parabolic concentrator with PV cell. In 12th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics (911-914)

Crossed compound parabolic concentrator (CCPC) is a solar energy device used to increase the photovoltaic (PV) cell electrical power output. CCPC’s thermal and optical performance issues are equally important for a PV cell or module to work under a f...

The Infiniteness of Open Ended Evolution (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Andras, P. (2016). The Infiniteness of Open Ended Evolution. In OEE2: The Second Workshop on Open-Ended Evolution

Biological and social systems are considered as a flux of interacting components that transiently participate in interactions with other system components as part of the system. This suggests that any simulated system undergoing open ended evolution... Read More about The Infiniteness of Open Ended Evolution.

Value Management – Creating Functional Value For Construction Project: An Exploratory Study (2016)
Journal Article
Olawumi, T. O., Akinrata, E. B., & Arijeloye, B. T. (2016). Value Management – Creating Functional Value For Construction Project: An Exploratory Study. World Scientific News, 54, 40-59

Value management is a process whereby the project is evaluated and scrutinised to obtain maximum value for money by following a prescribed methodology. It focuses on the value, rather than cost, in relation to the function of the element of the proje...
