“…Various CFD models have been developed to study the wind effect on heliostat and photovoltaic trackers as they are similar cases. Most of the published models are based on RANS models [142,143], while other authors [144][145][146] recommended the use of more suitable turbulence models such as LES and detached eddy simulations (DES) to well capture the fluid structures around the heliostat.…”

“…The dust particle size was noted at 20 μm to 80 μm for a roof height of 10 metres, as conducted from Boddupalli N et al study. 46 Technical and economic protocols for cleaning PV modules are discussed, as conducted from Fathi M et al study. 47 In the desert regions, large-scale PV panels are also being considered to check their performance in these special types of zones.…”

Solar power plays a significant role in the contribution of energy worldwide. The performance of solar panels mainly depends upon geographical and environmental factors. Dust is an important well known ecological factor that significantly impacts the performance of solar panels in achieving the overall target of power production by renewable sources. Study about the performance of solar panels under the influence of dust particles becomes more effective when these are to be worked out in hot and dusty areas. The current goal of this review article is to provide the impact of dust particles on the performance of solar panels. To fulfil this goal, the researcher's contribution is updated in minor for 2015 to 2018 and signed for 2019 and 2020.The current authors of this review article also recommended the adoption of a modern cleaning technique for PV modules, which would save time because it could be operated away from the PV modules.

“…In India, the desert regions of Rajasthan and Gujarat are preferred for the installation of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy and concentrated solar thermal systems (CST) due to a high level of solar radiation components. However, these regions present substantial challenges in terms of dust, a high ambient temperature and water scarcity (BODDUPALLI et al, 2017). These characteristic conditions make it difficult for workers to maintain equipment, requiring locations, such as guardhouses, with adequate temperature and available water for these workers.…”

Devido ao aumento populacional, muitos países da África apresentam uma demanda crescente de energia elétrica. Do ponto de vista de negócios, o continente africano apresenta uma oportunidade única, pois quase dois terços da demanda energética adicional necessária em 2030 ainda não foi construída. Em particular, o deserto do Saara apresenta espaço de grande potencial para geração energética sustentável. A partir dessa necessidade e considerando atender as diretrizes da Agenda 2030 da Organização das Nações Unidas, o presente trabalho objetivou relatar uma experiência didática do uso de geotecnologias para investigar quais seriam as áreas mais vocacionadas para a implantação de um parque eólico e solar dentro do deserto do Saara. O Método consistiu na realização de uma experimentação prática das ferramentas geotecnológicas, por meio de uma análise qualitativa e do procedimento pesquisa-ação. Concluiu-se que a ferramenta QGIS tem grande potencial para auxiliar na tomada de decisão através dos recursos ilustrativos que facilitam a compreensão das divisões administrativas e de vegetação dentro das regiões geográficas.
