Solar energy has been used to preserve agricultural products which require drying through a consistent application of relatively low heat. In the present study, the feasibility of implementation the solar dryer system in the city of Yazd in Iran is evaluated by examining the effective factors. By identifying factors which may somehow affect the design, construction and operation of solar drying systems, a questionnaire was prepared and distributed. Among the results of the analysis, six main factors were identified: "performance," "geographical location," "infrastructures," "interactions," "financial support" and "social, cultural and political issues." According to the results obtained from factor analysis and with Structural Equations Modelling (SEM) method, a model was introduced. Subsequently, the final model was developed with the use of path analysis method and with AMOS. Based on the final model, the three factors of infrastructures (with the coefficient of 0.44), interactions and cultural, social and political issues (both with the coefficient of 0.12) directly affect the possibility of implementing the solar dryer in Yazd. According to the proposed model, it was concluded that authorities should mainly focus their attentions on finance, science, economy and infrastructures to develop and promote use of solar drying systems.

“…where P, T , and R d are the mean air pressure (Pa), the mean air temperature (K), and the gas constant for dry air (which equals 287 J/kg K), respectively (Rezaei et al, 2018a). Equation (9) contains two constants c and k called, respectively, scale parameter and shape parameter, which should be calculated by equations (11) and (12) (Rezaei et al, 2018b)…”

The objective of this study was to perform a sensitivity analysis on the factors affecting wind site localization. A case study is selected based on 13 cities in the province of Fars in Iran which is equally applicable in any other wind sites. Then, the cities are ranked using the dual form of the data envelopment analysis model. Next, six criteria are adopted including wind conditions, population, Available Land condition, distance to distribution networks, rate of natural disasters, and the cost of land. In the sensitivity analysis of each criterion, first, the criterion under analysis is omitted from the model, and then the dual model is applied again to obtain a new ranking. Evaluating the results of the ranking for 13 studied cities indicate that the city of Shiraz is just sensitive to the population criterion and fell 11 places in the ranking by omitting this criterion. But the city is insensitive to any other criteria.

“…Meanwhile, the optimal location for the hybrid wind and solar energy is discussed in terms of economic, social, geological and natural disaster criteria. Data and hybrid rank utilization is analyzed with fuzzy system methods [57]. Fractional order fuzzy control Improved control performance [60] Fuzzy system is implemented in modeling and control of hybrid power sources based PV, fuel cell and battery storage in micro-grid systems is presented in the provision of both real and reactive power to grid network.…”

One of the popular topics in hybrid power generation is how to optimize the operation and performance of systems considering the behavior of different input variabilities and characteristics of power generation including customers load fluctuation. In optimization problems, several objective functions within certain constraints have been reviewed, for instance to minimize the gas carbon emission, to reduce the fuel cost consumption for power generation, to maximize the capacity of renewable energy sources in hybrid power generation and so on. To achieve the solution for the optimization problems, several computational methods and techniques based on mathematical numeric approaches, artificial computational techniques and meta-heuristic techniques have been proposed. This paper would like to investigate more detailed about the multi-objectives optimization techniques in hybrid power generation for the reasons of popularity of techniques in recent years. In future, the fast and accurate computational capabilities with simple algorithms are expecting to play important role for the solution of multi-objective optimization tasks in hybrid power generation.
