This paper presents the design, fabrication, testing, and integration with equipment of a flexible photovoltaic module. The modules are based on mono-crystalline silicon Sliver cells. Tests have been developed to specifically test flexible modules, including their flexibility, abrasion resistance, power to weight ratio, and partial shading. The results of a 0.1 m2 module with 13 W power output and...
A hybrid CPV-Thermal (CPV-T) micro-concentrator (MCT) system has been constructed. The MCT is a fully sealed, light-weight structure with a low wind-load factor. It incorporates modified one-sun solar cells operating at around 15 suns optical concentration using a novel ultra-lightweight Fresnel array with closed loop tracking to produce electricity and thermal energy suitable for generating hot water...
A new method for the detection and recognition of objects was developed for grayscale images. Obstacle detection is based on an efficient binarization and enhancement techniques followed by a suitable connected component analysis procedure. The grayscale object corresponding to the object identified in the binary image is then extracted. The second step deals with the recognition of these extracted...
It is important to note that air-conditioning and mechanical ventilating system (ACMV) and lighting system consume the most electrical energy in a building in Malaysia. In University Malaysia Pahang (UMP), due to the nature of the buildings, split units air-conditioning systems are used in the faculty office blocks and the lecture halls. It is found that a major portion of the energy consumed came...
