First principles versus artificial neural network modelling of a solar desalination system with experimental validation

Abstract: The present study mainly focuses on enhancing the performance of solar still unit using solar energy through cylindrical parabolic collector and solar panels. A 300 W solar panel is used to heat saline water by thermal elements outside the solar still unit. Solar panels are cooled during the hot hours of the day; thus, reducing their temperature may lead to an increase in solar panel efficiency followed by an increase in the efficiency of the solar still unit. The maximum amount of freshwater used in the exper… Show more

“…Solar desalination can be integrated with other components to reach higher productivity. Data-driven methods are applicable for performance forecasting of these systems (Bagheri et al, 2020). As an example, Bagheri et al ( 2021) used ANN to model a solar desalination system composed of PVs, a heater, a battery, a cylindrical parabolic collector, etc.…”

“…However, the energy payback time, or the time it took to recover the energy invested in constructing the system, was found to be relatively lengthy. In another investigation [10], a solar still was enhanced by employing both cylindrical parabolic collectors and solar panels. The solar panels, with a capacity of 300 W, were utilized to heat saline water through thermal elements positioned outside the solar still unit.…”
