“…The photovoltaic technologies are attracting more and more attention because the solar cell converts sunlight into electricity without heat engine (Parida et al, 2011;Ma et al, 2013) and its price is decreasing significantly in recent years. There are two main types of solar PV application technologies (Kaundinya et al, 2009): stand-alone photovoltaic system (Cherif and Dhouib, 2002;Modi et al, 2009) and grid-connected photovoltaic system. Grid-connected systems are relative simple which consist of photovoltaic panels, inverters, power conditioning units and grid connection equipment.…”

“…Also, because there are innumerable places in the developing countries where the power supply is still intermittent and irregular, for the storage of vaccines and life saving drugs in such areas, refrigeration systems based on usage of solar energy can be considered to be the optimal solutions. The electricity supplied is mainly from conventional fuel based power plants which are the greatest contributors to global warming [3]. Environment friendly solutions are mandatory for the sustainable world.…”

Performance Evaluation of a PV-Powered Refrigeration System // Electronics and Electrical Engineering. -Kaunas: Technologija, 2011. -No. 8(114). -P. 7-10.This paper presents cool-down, and steady state performance of a 76 W direct current operated household refrigerator powered by a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel and a battery bank. Exergy method has been conducted to investigate of the performance of the PV powered household refrigerator. Experiments are conducted with different cooling loads. In use of this type system, it can be said that over-loaded condition in the refrigerator should be avoided. From the obtained results, it is seen that exergy efficiency of the system is very low due to the low energy conversion and exergy efficiencies of the PVs. This situation is also seen from exergy destruction values. For all cases, exergy is destroyed highly in the PVs. Ill. 1, bibl. 8, tabl. 2 (in English; abstracts in English and Lithuanian). O.

Naudojančios vėsinimo sistemos Fotogalvaninius elementus eksperimentinis našumo tyrimas // Elektronika ir elektrotechnika. -Kaunas: Technologija, 2011. -Nr. 8(114). -P. 7-10.Aprašoma kaip veikia plokštė, sudaryta iš fotogalvaninių elementų, ir baterijų pritaikymas buitiniam šaldytuvui. Didinant fotogalvaninių elementų našumą, buvo atliktas eksergijos metodo tyrimas, esant skirtingoms vėsinimo apkrovoms. Nustatyta, kad, naudojant tokią sistemą reikia, vengti didelių sistemos apkrovų. Sistemos eksergijos efektyvumas, įskaitant ir fotogalvaninių elementų našumą, yra labai mažas.

“…More recent studies have shown the adaptation of commercial refrigerators to work with DCCompressors as shown in [10]. The obtained COPs were similar for AC refrigerators equipped with inverters [11], [9] and those using DC-Compressors [12], [13], [10] being around 1.7 to 2 for temperature differences between ambient and air compartment of around 25°C. The performance monitoring of the whole solar system has been recently described in [14].…”
