In this article, a general modification on the existing heat storage modeling methods of solar ponds is presented. For this purpose, the walls shading effects have been thoroughly investigated. Four common structural types of the solar pond are studied and proper relations have been derived for them. Considering all the effective parameters on the walls shading status, precise relations for calculation of the sunny area at any desired time and location were presented. To compare different configurations, all the four types are studied in two design sets; ponds with the same top surface area of 12.56 m2, and ponds with the same total volume of 18 m3. It was indicated that the derived formulas can reduce the pond temperature calculation uncertainty from 8% (in the case of neglecting the shading effects) to less than 3%. Also, it was concluded that in the same total volume, the ponds with sloped walls show a better thermal performance. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 38:e13014, 2019

“…4 can also be extended to incorporate the de-rated state of the PV system; however; it will further complicate the stochastic transitional matrix, demanding an increased processing time for calculating the reliability indices. This is particularly the case with high penetration of dispersed PVs [13].…”

With the increased integration of photovoltaic (PV) power generation into active distribution networks, the operational challenges and their complexities are increased. Such networks need detailed characterization PV systems under multiple operating conditions to understand true impacts. This paper presents a new mathematical model for a PV system to capture detailed effects of PV systems. The proposed model incorporates state transitions of components in a PV system and captures effects of insolation variations. The paper performs a reliability assessment incorporating PV systems at resource locations. The results suggest that the reliability performance of an active distribution network at stressed operating conditions might be influenced by the high penetration of PV system. Reliability performance of distribution networks that are high penetrated with PV systems can be affected by cloudy effects resulting from insolation variations. The proposed model can be used to quantify the level of reduction in reliability, resulting with cloudy effects.
