“…The long-term saving achieved by the solar system studied by (Sanwogou et al 2019) in Togo, (Doudou 2016) in Niger and (Windarta et al 2020) in Indonesia indicates values that are much lower than those generated by scenario 6. As for the studies of Bourahla et al 2019) in Algeria, (Bermeo et al 2021) in Ecuador, (Hanen et al 2018) in Tunisia, (Doudou 2016) in Niger, (Yaniktepe et al 2017) and (Windarta et al 2020) in Indonesia, the authors observed dates that vary between 6 years and 21 years as the return on their investment. These estimates are higher than those shown in this study.…”

“…The size of the photovoltaic system designed, the installed price per watt, the internal rate of return (IRR) and the net present value (NPV) are the technical-economic parameters evaluated by the authors. Solar energy production and economic evaluation are analysed in the work of (Yaniktepe et al 2017), using daily solar radiation and average temperature data which are measured for three years in Osmaniye province in Turkey. The economic values of the study such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), payback year, and simple payback period were evaluated.…”

In developing countries, institutions that have to operate continuously during daylight hours consume relatively large amounts of electrical energy for lighting and air conditioning, leading to high bills. Untimely power cuts lead to a fluctuation in the voltage delivered by the conventional network, which induces the malfunctioning of electrical equipment and the discontinuity of judicial work. The use of photovoltaic solar energy makes it possible, on the one hand, to ensure continuity of service in the event of damage, and on the other hand to stem greenhouse gas emissions through the sustainable nature of this energy. Solar installations also make it possible to maintain the permanent power supply in the event of instability of the electrical network and to correct the voltage variations undergone by the energy equipment. Thus, this (case) study is based on the energy balances evaluated on the buildings of the jurisdiction of the city of Kandi (Benin) to propose effective solutions of electrification according to six (6) technical scenarii. Each component of the back up system has been sized considering technical requirements and an economic and environmental study has been carried out. The results indicate that the integrated scenario 6 of a "back-up" system with a solar fraction of up to 37% (49.5 kWc) seems to be the most suitable conf iguration for the current needs of the Kandi jurisdiction due to the shortest time to return on investment (5.1 years) and the maximum annual savings generated (33,674 USD). The environmental impact study has made it possible to determine the CO2 emissions avoided as well as the contribution of Carbon credits that this jurisdiction would reap has been evaluated at 115.8 tCO2 equivalent, or 10.6 hectares of forest carbon preserved over the life of the project. This configuration is therefore strongly recommended for a sustainable energy mix in the jurisdictions of Benin as well as for administrative or similar sites where electricity consumption is maximum during the day.

“…Accordingly, increasing energy consumption has a negative effect on climate change, global warming and the decrease in energy reserves. In many areas, studies are carried out to reduce energy consumption or to use renewable energy sources (Yaniktepe, 2017). In particular, due to the intensive use of cooling systems both in daily life and in industrial facilities and in order to save energy, studies on this area have recently intensified (Özen, 2019).…”

Today, rapid developments are experienced in terms of energy consumption and energy efficiency in air conditioning systems. Among these systems, waste heat and renewable energy sources are used in absorption cooling systems. Although the initial investment cost of this system is high, the operating cost is low due to the use of waste heat. In this study, the effect of generator, condenser, absorber and evaporator temperatures on system performance (COP) in absorption cooling systems operating with singlestage fluid pair was investigated. The temperature effect was investigated using energy balances with the help of thermodynamic equations. It was found from the results that the system performance (COP) increased with increasing the generator temperature, and the system performance (COP) decreased with increasing the condenser and absorber temperatures. In addition, it was determined that the solution temperature and concentration changed in the system examined at different generator, condenser, absorber and evaporator temperatures, and crystallization occurred accordingly in some parameters.

“…As a result of this, investments in solar energy for electricity generation are increasing rapidly in recent years with technological advances in solar energy, global climate change, dependence on other countries, and other environmental factors. In this context, photovoltaic (PV), as one of the usages of solar energy application areas, is intensively applied in order to produce electricity [2,3].…”

The precise estimation of solar radiation is of great importance in solar energy applications with respect to installation and capacity. In estimate modelling on selected target locations, various computer-based and experimental methods and techniques are employed. In the present study, the Multilayer Feed-Forward Neural Network (MFFNN), K -Nearest Neighbors ( K -NN), a Library for Support Vector Machines (LibSVM), and M5 rules algorithms, which are among the Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, were used to estimate the hourly average solar radiation of two geographic locations on the same latitude. The input variables that had the most impact on solar radiation were identified and grouped as a result of 29 different applications that were developed by using 6 different feature selection methods with Waikato Environment for Knowledge Analysis (WEKA) software. Estimation models were developed by using the selected data groups and all input variables for each target location. The results show that the estimations developed with the feature selection method were more successful for target locations, and the radiation potentials were similar. The performance of the estimation models was evaluated by comparing each model with different statistical indicators and with previous studies. According to the RMSE, MAE, R 2 , and SMAPE statistical scales, the results of the most successful estimation models that were developed with MFFNN were 0.0508-0.0536, 0.0341-0.0352, 0.9488-0.9656, and 7.77%-7.79%, respectively.
