Power Station Thermal Efficiency Performance Method Evaluation by Heerlall, Heeran

“…For an individual unit, the indirect efficiency uncertainty was as high as 0.581% abs. A study was conducted to find an optimal resolution (segment size) for the thermal performance metrics to be computed, by discretizing the monthly data into smaller segment sizes and studying the movement of the mean STEP model outputs and the temporal uncertainty. …”

Numerical study of a hybrid photovoltaic thermal desalination system by Noble, Cole Douglas

“…However, their widespread proliferation is, in part, inhibited by their inefficiency as less than 20% of incident solar energy is converted to electrical energy. Hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) desalination systems have emerged as one way of improving the overall efficiency of PV panels as they make use of the waste heat from panels to aid the desalination process in solar stills. …”

Design problem optimization with multi-objective evolutionary algorithms by Toma, Farzana Haque

“…However, traditional sunshade designs typically focus on a limited set of objectives, often ignoring broader considerations such as cost efficiency and outside-view obstruction. This thesis addresses that gap by implementing and comparing two advanced multi-objective evolutionary algorithms—Multi-Objective Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (MOCMA-ES) and the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II)—to optimize sunshades across five key objectives: thermal comfort, energy consumption, Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI), cost, and outside-view obstruction. …”
