Self-Oriented Solar Mirror

Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Technological Ecosystems for Enhancing Multiculturality, 2017
This paper provides an overview of the development of a self-oriented solar mirror (SOSM) project within the European Project Semester (EPS) at Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP). While the main objective of the EPS@ISEP project-based educational framework is to foster teamwork, communication, interpersonal and problem solving skills in ...

Solar tracker with active orientation

2016 2nd International Conference on Industrial Engineering, Applications and Manufacturing (ICIEAM), 2016
At present, solar power engineering is a rapidly growing technology. The overall installed capacity of the solar power plants is increased. Thus, the importance of solar power plants cost is now an essential problem for power engineers and scientists.

SOLAR: student oriented learning about radiography

Medical Teacher, 2001
The success or otherwise of a radiographic examination is like other health-related interventions, crucially dependent upon the knowledge base of the radiographer and the quality of his/her clinical acumen. Traditional curricular approaches are limited in their ability to assist students to make vital connections between science and clinical decision ...

An orientable solar panel system for nanospacecraft

Acta Astronautica, 2014
An orientable deployed solar array system for 1–5 kg weight nanospacecraft is described, enhancing the achievable performance of these typically power-limited systems. The system is based on a deployable solar panel system, previously developed with cooperation between Laboratorio di Sistemi Aerospaziali of University of Roma “la Sapienza” and the ...

Weather Data and Solar Orientations

2015
As we approach the end of 2014, what is the public’s interpretation of advances in “solar architecture”? Is it still, in many cases, limited to an installation of solar thermal collectors or photovoltaic panels on building roofs and facades? And in the area of improving “energy efficiency” of buildings and their interiors, are the choices for materials

Guiding and orientating system for solar panels

2011 10th International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering, 2011
This paper deals with solar panels orientation systems, meant to maximize the electric energy, especially for low consumption isolated consumers. Using the multibody systems method, we accomplished the orientating articulated mechanisms structural analysis and we achieved a self-orientating panel.

The solar activity-oriented Japanese programme

Advances in Space Research, 1991
Abstract There are two activity-oriented programmes in Japan; i) space programme, and ii) the programme of ground-based optical and radio observations. The space programme is carried out with Solar-A satellite, which will be launched in August/September 1991, and four instruments such as Hard X-ray Telescope (HXT), Soft X-ray Telescope (SXT), Bragg ...

Optimum orientation of a nontracking solar concentrator

Thermal Engineering, 2008
We present the results of research studying how long nontracking solar concentrators of a new type can operate in a day depending on the concentrating module tilt angle. We also analyze the possible drop in the concentrator’s output in case of using it in northern regions without correcting its orientation for a full year.
