Modelling of flow rate in a photovoltaic-driven roof slate-based solar ventilation air preheating system. (2006)
Journal Article
Odeh, N. A., Grassie, T., Henderson, D., & Muneer, T. (2006). Modelling of flow rate in a photovoltaic-driven roof slate-based solar ventilation air preheating system. Energy Conversion and Management, 47, 909-925. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2005.06.005

This paper describes the modelling of flow rate in a photovoltaic (PV) driven, roof slate based solar system for preheating ventilation air in cold climates. The system consists of a photovoltaic driven, attic mounted fan, which draws air through the...

Improved accuracy models for hourly diffuse solar radiation. (2006)
Journal Article
Muneer, T., & Munawwar, S. (2006). Improved accuracy models for hourly diffuse solar radiation. Journal of Solar Energy Engineering, 128, 104-117. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.2148972

Solar energy applications require readily available, site-oriented, and long-term solar data. However, the frequent unavailability of diffuse irradiation, in contrast to its need, has led to the evolution of various regression models to predict it fr...

Life cycle assessment of a medium-sized photovoltaic facility at a high latitude location (2006)
Journal Article
Muneer, T., Younes, S., Lambert, N., & Kubie, J. (2006). Life cycle assessment of a medium-sized photovoltaic facility at a high latitude location. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 220(6), 517-52

Performance of a 160 m 2 photovoltaic installation at the Napier University's Merchiston Campus, situated 3 km from Edinburgh's city centre, is presented. The alternative current and direct current electrical outputs have been recorded since the inst...
