Abstract:

Abstract This study investigated the effect of dust deposition on the fin surfaces of a rectangular finned heat sink for natural convection. Therefore, experimental analysis was carried out on two cases, i.e., under fine dust and fiber dust conditions. The experiment was conducted inside a closed duct on the heat sink consisting of 17 fins. After analyzing the data and variation of temperature values at various positions of the fin surfaces, it was observed that the fine dust accumulation had a negligible effect on the thermal performance. However, fiber dust accumulation had a significant eff

Abstract Long-term and direct measurements of surface shortwave radiation (SWR) have been recorded by the Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) since 1997. Previous studies have shown that African dust, transported westward from the Sahara and Sahel regions, can accumulate on mooring SWR sensors in the high-dust region of the North Atlantic (8°–25°N, 20°–50°W), potentially leading to significant negative SWR biases. Here dust-accumulation biases are quantified for each PIRATA mooring using direct measurements from the moorings, combined with satellite and reana

Abstract:

Solar photovoltaic (PV) is playing a major role in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) smart grid infrastructure. However, one of the challenges facing PV-based energy systems is the dust accumulation on solar panels. Dust accumulation on solar panels results in a high degradation in the output power. The UAE has low intensity rainfall and wind velocity; therefore solar panels must be cleaned manually or using automated cleaning methods. Estimating dust accumulation on solar panels will increase the output power and reduce maintenance costs by initiating cleaning actions only when required. In this

Abstract:

Dust accumulation on Photovoltaic (PV) panels represents a major challenge for the operation of panels. There are several passive dust mitigation techniques, such as using a dust shield whose performance has been enhanced by integrating it with an air nozzle. The air exiting the nozzle acts as an air barrier that obstructs the approach of dust particles to the panel’s surface. The objective of this study is to minimize dust accumulation over PV panels by adding slits within the dust shield. The function of the slit is to induce air drafts that can sweep dust away from the surface of the PV pan

In this study, we investigate the impact of dust accumulation on the surface of PV modules on leakage current.

Abstract:

The electricity production of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels often decreases over time due to dust accumulation. Thus, regular cleaning is necessary to maintain optimal electricity production efficiency. Advanced cleaning technologies are commonly used in commercial solar farms. However, household solar PV systems may face challenges in adopting such technologies due to budget constraints or cost-effectiveness considerations. In this work, a low-cost dust-cleaning robot for solar PV panel cleaning systems, utilizing Arduino microcontrollers, was developed. The robot’s performance was tested un

Abstract:

Dust accumulation on solar photovoltaic (PV) panels significantly impairs their performance by blocking sunlight, leading to a reduction in energy output. This study investigates various factors influencing PV efficiency and explores the impact of cleaning methods, such as manual, automated, and natural (rainfall), with a particular focus on rural regions like Nansana, Kampala, where dust deposition fluctuates due to seasonal and environmental variations. The findings reveal that dust accumulation contributes to a significant portion of the loss in PV performance. The study reviews recent adva

Abstract:

The sensitivity of monocrystalline solar module towards dust accumulation and cloud cover is investigated from May to August 2015 for Niamey’s environment. Two solar modules with the same characteristics have been used to assess the impacts of the dust on the solar PV module. One of the modules is being cleaned every morning and the second one was used for monitoring the effect of dust accumulation onto the surface of the unclean module for May and June. Results show that dust accumulation has a great effect on decreasing the daily energy yield of the unclean module. But this effect is a long-

One of the most serious occupational hazards in the coal industry is coal dust. Previous research revealed that the vast majority of coal dust assessments were conducted in coal mines, resulting in a lack of understanding of the severity of coal dust during coal handling activities in power plants. Therefore, the severity of combustible coal dust in one of Malaysia's power plants was assessed using a comprehensive analysis that included qualitative observations, in-situ measurements, numerical simulations, laboratory tests, and data analysis.

Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels account for a major portion of the smart grid capacity. On the other hand, the accumulation of solar panels dust is a significant challenge for PV-based systems. The accumulation of solar panels dust results in a significant reduction in the amount of energy produced. Because of the country’s low wind velocity and rainfall, frequent cleaning of solar panels is necessary either by manual or automated means. Cleaning activities should only be initiated when absolutely essential to reduce maintenance costs and increase the power output of solar panels that have been

Abstract:

Abstract Interplanetary dust grains (IDPs) originate from a variety of sources and are dynamically transported across the solar system. While in transport, high-Z solar energetic particles (SEPs) with energies of ∼1 MeV nuc−1 leave damage tracks as they pass through IDPs. SEP track densities can be used as a measure of a grain's space exposure and, in turn, help to constrain their lifetimes and origins. Stratospherically collected IDPs with relatively high track densities (>1010 cm−2) have been interpreted as originating from the Edgeworth–Kuiper Belt (EKB). To further test this hypothesis,

Dust accumulation on solar photovoltaic (PV) modules poses a significant challenge to their performance and efficiency in desert environment. Studies have shown that power output can decrease by up to 50% when solar PV modules left uncleaned for over six months.

Several research groups found that combining anti-reflective and superhydrophobic coatings has been found to increase solar cell efficiency b
