TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study is presented between four solar device configurations: photovoltaic module (PV-I), conventional hybrid solar air collector (pV/T-II), glazed hybrid solar AC, and glazed double-pass hybrid AC, respectively, and a numerical model is developed and validated through experimental results indicated in previous literature.

TL;DR: A methodology both to optimize and to perform a sensitivity analysis of an autonomous hybrid PV-diesel-battery energy system and it was found that the PSO based approach is more cost effective with more PV penetration than HOMER.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new sizing approach based on cuckoo search (CS) algorithm is proposed for grid-connected hybrid energy systems, which is a multi-objective problem with economic, technical and environmental constraints.

TL;DR: In this article, the electrical and hydraulic performance of a surface centrifugal pump versus total water heads and versus a size of PV array is presented. And the area irrigated by this solar surface pump is calculated under Sahara climate conditions for four crops, namely wheat, potatoes, tomatoes and sunflowers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model to characterize the motor-pumps subsystems used in photovoltaic (PV) water pumping installations, which expresses the water flow output directly as a function of the electrical power input (P) to the motorpump, for different total heads.
