Wind convection coefficient correlations for CPV modules (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Heat loss due to convection cooling from photovoltaic modules exposed to the external environment plays an important role in the study of photovoltaic design. It is well documented that thermal loss from external surfaces constitutes a large portion... Read More about Wind convection coefficient correlations for CPV modules.

The UK’s first climate change risk assessment and the implications for the coast (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In 2008 the Climate Change Act was passed into law in the UK. This provides a legally binding framework for reducing carbon emissions. Much of the focus of the Act is on reducing emissions and hence on mitigation measures, however, the Act also req...

Novel method and system for monitoring CPV cell and module temperature (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents a novel system for accurate monitoring of photovoltaic cell temperature, allowing the introduction of thermal management strategies critical to maintaining high efficiencies and cell lifetimes. The sensor device outlined consists... Read More about Novel method and system for monitoring CPV cell and module temperature.

The validation and verification of CFD models of heat transfer and airflow within CPV modules (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Simulation models are used for predicting a photovoltaic concentrator's performance. It is desirable to analyse theoretically any given system as extensively as possible before embarking on expensive construction. Calculation of the flow fields both...
