The Distribution of Solar Radiation and Solar Energy Intensity, and Top Locations for Constructing Solar Energy Stations in Iraq
Get PDFThe relationship between energy consumption and environmental pollution is evident from the exacerbation of widespread negative consequences such as climate change, including global warming, humidity, floods, earthquakes, destructive storms, and uncontrollable natural phenomena. Therefore, it is necessary to shift from fossil fuel consumption to alternative or renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind. Taking advantage of solar cell energy and investing in various fields such as electricity generation and agricultural uses such as water pumping, desalination and concentrating on their applications for the development of rural areas and their use in the development of the industrial sector. As well as encourage the private sector and capital owners to invest in solar cell energy. In our study, we analyze the best solar cell power stations in Iraq. Three cities selected across the country, providing data on distributions of solar energy and the density of electricity generated. Therefore, the research included a methodology suitable for the subject. This research aims to detect the importance of solar energy and how to exploit it through mathematical equations concerning the distributions and density to reach the possibility of the minimum solar energy utilization and then reach the preferred location for the construction of solar cell stations in the study area
Investigate the Thermal Behavior of the Portable Weather Monitoring System Based on Arduino Nano
Get PDFThis work aims to achieve a functional system in terms of software and hardware to measure humidity with temperature and raining fall. Also, this system allows monitoring the date and time. We used Arduino Nano with the interfacing of the DHT22 sensor and a raindrop sensor placed in the local environment to measure the mentioned data. After designing the system that depends on the microcontroller Embedded on the Arduino board, we will display the data on a screen of the PC by the Arduino window (serial monitor) and display it on the LCD screen. This paper describes a simple portable design for humidity, temperature, and rain or no rain. The portable design can be made with a low cost of electronic components. It is efficiently and locally available so that it can be used to monitor weather conditions at any place. The test results showed that this system's component is small and can be packaged in a small plastic box. Besides, through the programming, we recorded the data on the Excel program, and at the same time. The data were recorded in a memory added to the manufactured system. The data obtained every five seconds are the (date, time, temperature, humidity, weather if rainy or not rainy). The system consists of two parts; the first part is inside the indoor, and it can be placed outdoor as needed and the second part is a rain sensor that can be placed outdoor. In case of rain, the buzzer and LED can be turned on to indicate the condition of rain
