Concentrated Solar Power Towers
(2016-11)
As technology increases in variety and complexity, power consumption and the demand for electricity are on the rise. Coupled with the hazardous environmental effects that fossil fuels create and their limited supply, ...
Solar-Powered Smart Community
(2015-02-01)
Population growth in Dubai has increased power requirements, causing a depletion in natural resources. Our solution is to build a Smart Community in Dubai that will overcome these issues. The model consists of Thermal Solar ...
Concentrated Energy Towers
(2016-11)
Renewable energy is a key aspect in providing a safe source of energy for future generations. One of the main sources of renewable energy is solar energy. Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed ...
Sustainable Energy Replacement for Asphalt: Solar Roadways
(2015-02-01)
The goal of this research project is to replace the current asphalt roads with an alternative that will make use of the thermal energy both from the sun’s heat and the friction from car tires that was previously wasted on ...
Application of Solar Tower Technology in Electricity Production in UAE
(2016-11)
Worldwide energy consumption is on a constant climb due to the fact of our reliance on electricity for almost everything as well as the increase in global population. In 2010, 100% of UAE's electricity demand was fulfilled ...
Running AUS on Solar Energy
(2014-01-19)
In this project, we have proposed fitting each building in AUS with Solar Panels to charge up that building during the day, and for non-renewable energy to be distributed only at night when required. By switching over to ...
Piezoelectricity with Photovoltaic (PV) Panels
(2016-11)
Solar energy is one of the most sustainable sources of energy, and one way to harness it is using solar panels. They are also known as photovoltaic panels (PV). Many countries such as Germany, Italy, China and the United ...
Green Ships
(2014-01-19)
Our EMPD topic discusses how wind turbines and solar panels can both be installed on ships, in order to conserve the fuel consumed and reduce the subsequent harmful emissions. The implantation of this solution leads to ...
Estimating Dust Accumulation on Photovoltaic Modules in the UAE
(2019-05)
Among the challenges facing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), dust is considered the most severe problem that faces the growth of solar power plants. Dust accumulation on solar PV panels ...
Design of a Fully Concentrated Solar Powered Electricity Generation Plant for the UAE
(2018-09)
The increase in the world’s demand for electricity and the depletion of the fossil fuels used in conventional power plant systems raises the need for different renewable sources of electricity generation. Concentrated solar ...
