    Solar tracking devices are efficacious in maximizing solar irradiation collection. However, higher price makes these systems less frequently used. As an alternative, optimum tilt angle estimation has the advantage that it does not involve tracking cost expenditure. In this study, optimum tilt angles for different months have been computed for Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, India (L 31° 42′ N). Several mathematical models and statistical tools have been employed to forecast the monthly optimum tilt angles for the selected site. Different scenarios have been presented by considering five, four, three, and two annual adjustment models to increase the practical usage of the estimated optimum tilt angles. Additionally, cost-benefit analysis has also be performed on the PV panels. Based on the results, it has been concluded that model M − 11, with three annual adjustments, stipulates maximum benefits over the other models. This study can serve as fundamental guidance for setting up solar energy plants in this specified region with the highest efficiency.

    Optimum insulation thickness assessment of different insulation materials for mid-latitude steppe and desert climate (BSH) region of India
    (Journals & Books, 2021-01) Kallioğlu, Mehmet Ali; Sharma, Ashutosh; Chinnasamy, Veerakumar; Chauhan, Ranchan; Singh, Tej
    One of the most effective techniques that is used for energy wastage in buildings is heat insulation. It is possible due to this application to minimize the fuel quantity and accordingly tolerate toxic emissions by finding the optimum point that gives the maximum efficiency. This study was conducted for Jaipur province in Indian climate geography. Climatic characteristics of the region are Mid-Latitude Steppe and Desert Climate (Bsh). Energy need and heat losses in exterior wall were determined by accepting cooling degree day value as T > 24 °C. Optimum insulation thickness, payback period, annual return and annual return rate for XPS and EPS of two different insulating materials respectively are 0.0383–0.0731, 2.35–1.79, 10.95–12.92, 46.84–37.25.

    A review of phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal storage in solar air heating systems
    (Journals & Books, 2021-01) Kallioğlu, Mehmet Ali; Sharma, Ashutosh; Chauhan, Ranchan; Chinnasamy, Veerakumar; Singh, Tej
    The surging energy requirements and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission have directed the research towards the utilization of renewable energy sources especially solar energy. Most of the energy part in domestic and commercial consumption is utilized for air heating and drying which can be improved significantly by utilizing solar air heating applications. The main drawback associated with the solar air heating system (SAHS) is the fluctuation in the availability of solar radiations which can be mitigated by a greater extent with the help of thermal storage. Phase change materials (PCMs) are generally utilized for latent heat storage. The present study reviews the various PCMs utilized in thermal storage with SAHS. Numerous types of PCM materials, their properties and applications in solar air heating system have been reviewed. Heat transfer characteristics enhancement techniques like encapsulation, extended surfaces and conductive particle dispersion have also been studied. The air conditioning demands in the future could be significantly mitigated by utilizing these materials.
