The Control of Venetian Blinds: A Solution for Reduction of Energy Consumption Preserving Visual Comfort
TL;DR: The present study aims at investigating the effect of smart screening strategies on the energy consumption of a test building designed in the Mediterranean climate, and the actual benefits obtained are assessed, in terms of energy and CO2 emissions saved in a test environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance Analysis of a Double-Sided PV Plant Oriented with Backtracking System
Francesco Nicoletti,Mario Antonio Cucumo,Vittorio Ferraro,Dimitrios Kaliakatsos,Jessica Settino +4 more
TL;DR: A calculation model is defined to analyse performances of a double-sided photovoltaic field, for both type of orientation N-S and E-W, in order to assess the effective increase in performance compared to a traditional system and the increase in efficiency due to distance between rows of panels is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study of Kinematic System for Solar Tracking of a Linear Fresnel Plant to Reduce End Losses
TL;DR: A new configuration is studied in which the mirrors placed at the ends are moved around two axes, able to recover the direct radiation which, otherwise, would not reach the receiver tube.

Law of Motion of Reflectors for a Linear Fresnel Plant
Mario Antonio Cucumo,Vittorio Ferraro,Dimitrios Kaliakatsos,Marilena Mele,Francesco Nicoletti +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the law of motion of reflectors for a concentrating solar linear Fresnel plant is geometrically analyzed and a method for optimally distributing the primary reflectors on the ground is proposed.
