Sustainable Water Solutions: Solar- Driven Distillation and Real-Time Monitoring for Rural Community
No full textIn an era characterized by rapid population growth and urban sprawl, access to clean water has become a significant concern for societies around the globe. As the world\u27s most precious resource, water scarcity poses a significant challenge to the sustainability of our planet\u27s ecosystems, economies, and human health. However, despite this issue of modernity, the demand for clean water in rural areas is more pressing and must be taken seriously in order to involve the demands of relevant and up to date processes. Therefore, in-depth studies to maintain quality water for this concern area have become increasingly popular and received the attention of many parties. Thus, the seawater distillation method powered by solar panels has been identified as the most effective technological alternative, accessible source of supply and is able to produce more consistent results. The specific methodology implemented involves several components and processes such as 12V solar panels, batteries, inverters, heating coils, water pumps, charging controllers, microcontrollers, sensors, liquid crystal displays and 2-channel relay modules. Next the target for this work is that the evaporation process will take place and the condensing unit will store the distilled water in a specified container. Subsequently, observe the results of the experiment by measuring the water level at different times and finally it is expected that the water level will increase as the hours increase
Enhanced Solar Energy Conversion Through Optimized Multijunction Photovoltaic Cells
No full textAs technology advances, the demand for energy sources continues to grow. In response to this demand, renewable energy has emerged as a key solution, leveraging environmentally friendly methods such as photovoltaic technology. However, existing solar cells exhibit low efficiency and power conversion rates. This study aims to identify the optimal materials and number of junctions necessary to enhance solar cell efficiency through the multijunction concept, which has been modelled using Matlab Simulink. The research employed various equations to design solar cells, including calculations for energy bandgap, reverse leakage, short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and power output. The findings revealed that a quadruple junction utilizing specific semiconductor materials achieved an impressive efficiency of 58.84%, a notable improvement compared to the 11.03% efficiency of single-junction solar cells
