Conference Proceeding
Aldali, Y., Henderson, D., & Muneer, T. (2009). Prospects for large-scale solar thermal electricity generation from the LIBYAN desert: technical feasibility. In Proceedings of the ASME 2009 3rd International Conference on Energy Sustainability (517-525). https://doi.org/10.1115/ES2009-90007

The Great Sahara desert covers the entire range of Libyan longitude 11o 44’ to 23o 58’ E and a latitude range of 24o 17’ through to 30o 31’N, thus covering an area of 1,750,000 sq km and 88% of this land is desert. The authors have measured hourly so... Read More about Prospects for large-scale solar thermal electricity generation from the LIBYAN desert: technical feasibility..

Integrated collector storage solar water heater: temperature stratification (2009)
Journal Article
Garnier, C., Currie, J., & Muneer, T. (2009). Integrated collector storage solar water heater: temperature stratification. Applied Energy, 86, 1465-1469. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2008.12.009

An analysis of the temperature stratification inside an Integrated Collector Storage Solar Water Heater (ICS-SWH) was carried out. The system takes the form of a rectangular-shaped box incorporating the solar collector and storage tank into a single...

Security assessment of importing solar electricity for the EU (2009)
Journal Article
Asif, M., Currie, J., Muneer, T., & Kubie, J. (2009). Security assessment of importing solar electricity for the EU. Journal of the Energy Institute, 82(2), 102-105. https://doi.org/10.1179/014426009x394008

Prosperity in any society is subject to an adequate and consistent provision of energy. It is crucial to adopt an energy strategy with least dependence on vulnerable energy supply channels such as imported oil from foreign/overseas countries. The p...
