dc.description.abstract | Finding alternative sources of energy is important.Green energy, derived from natural sources like wind, solar, and hydro, is renewable and has a smaller environmental footprint. In the context of human development, green energy offers a path to sustainable development by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.
Solar energy plays a pivotal role among green energies, not only due to its almost infinite availability and universality but also due to its high conversion efficiency, low operational costs, and rapid technological advancements. The evolution of solar technology, especially in terms of efficiency and cost reduction of solar panels, has made it the preferred choice for energy transformation in many regions and countries.
The primary aim of this thesis is to study the optical characteristics of diffusion plates and to establish in the ASAP (Advanced System Analysis Program) optical simulation software, a model of solar panel aperture ratios and the optical diffusion plates. Solar panels are arranged in straight lines on greenhouse roofs for the analysis of ground illuminance, with designs varying in roof height and aperture ratio.
The main purpose of placing optical diffusion plates and silicon solar panels on the roof to form a greenhouse is to create a closed and controllable lighting system for all seasons and crops. By analyzing different roof heights and solar panel aperture ratios, we can conserve valuable land resources. The sloped angle of the greenhouse roof allows sunlight to reach the optical diffusion plates at an ideal incidence angle. Sunlight on the roof is used for solar power generation, while sunlight passing through the optical diffusion plates enters the greenhouse to promote crop growth. | en_US |
