Experimental study on a hybrid solar photothermic and radiative cooling collector equipped with a rotatable absorber/emitter plate (2021)
Journal Article

Taking the frigid outer space as the heat sink, a terrestrial body can cool itself to a sub-ambient temperature via radiative sky cooling (RC) scheme. However, poor seasonal and regional adaptabilities and low cooling power density of the RC technolo...

Development and testing of a PCM enhanced domestic refrigerator with use of miniature DC compressor for weak/off grid locations (2021)
Journal Article

This paper presents the development of a sustainable and affordable domestic refrigerator for rural areas where grid setting is weak or non-existent. The refrigerator uses a miniature refrigeration unit based on a micro direct current (DC) compressor...

Feasibility of realizing daytime solar heating and radiative cooling simultaneously with a novel structure (2021)
Journal Article

Recent breakthroughs in preparing near-perfect emitters have made it possible to realize daytime radiative cooling under intensive solar radiation. However, a typical radiative cooler cannot deliver heat and may even cause an undesired cooling effect...

An Investigation into the Potential of Hosting Capacity and the Frequency Stability of a Regional Grid with Increasing Penetration Level of Large-Scale PV Systems (2021)
Journal Article

It is widely believed that the incorporation of renewable energy to the current power grid is the way forward in achieving sustainable power generation. Currently, with the reduction of PV prices, many countries have started connecting PV systems int...

A novel automated louver with parametrically-angled reflective slats; design evaluation for better practicality and daylighting uniformity (2021)
Journal Article

Daylighting harvest systems have been improved in recent decades. They have been dramatically used in green buildings to achieve a more sustainable living environment. However, their cost, sizes, shapes, materials, accuracy and control methods are co...
