Abstract

With a continuing mismatch between generating capacity and demand requirements, Iraqi cities are still enduring scheduled power outages. In this work, concentrated solar power (CSP) technology is proposed and designed for Iraqi cities to inject power into distribution networks with the objective of boosting the generating power capacity. Since CSP systems require a preliminary study of the direct normal irradiance (DNI), analyses of monthly data is carried out for each of the candidate cities. This is followed by determination of the amount of solar irradiance that falls on a titled collector per month considering the effects of reflection and diffusion. Finally, a thermal power plant is proposed and simulated using the system advisory model (SAM) per city. Results presented show an encouraging number of metrics and confirm the feasibility of such a plant in southern Iraq. The levelised cost of electricity and capacity factor shows a considerable decrease and increase respectively, when the plant is backed up by a fossil fuel steam cycle under circumstances when a plant loses over 80% of the MW capacity due to drop in solar irradiance. To provide a comparision platform, for each city, a photovolitaic (PV) plant is designed with an indentical electric capacity to that of the CSP plant. Findings from this work confirm that CSP plants can provide a suitstanable and enviroemntl friendly solution to electrical power shortages in the country compared to the current PV trends.

Abstract

Many important subtle changes in the environment are invisible to the naked human eyes. These subtle changes occur because of colour variations, such as blood flow in a human face that leads to face colour change, or motion variations, such as vena movement under human skin and vibration of buildings. The human eye requires optical microscopes to detect these variations. Alternatively, new technologies, such as high-speed imagery and computer processing, can be used to detect these variations. These computerised microscopes depend on computation rather than optical amplification to amplify subtle colour and motion changes in videos. The most popular technique to achieve computation-based microscope is the Eulerian video magnification (EVM). However, several challenges in EVM still need to be solved to meet the requirements of real time and video quality. This paper presents a comprehensive study of EVM methods and reviews the related literature. The strengths and drawbacks of existing works are discussed, and the important research fields and challenges in the area of EVM are concluded.
