Abstract

This paper proposes an improved high-precision surface solar radiation estimation model using the integration of the local meteorological data and air quality index based linear regression analysis. The proposed model was evaluated and compared to 8 conventional models and one generated by the commonly used PVsyst simulation software. The actual solar radiation, meteorological data and air quality index collected over 10 years (during 2011-2021) from standard measuring stations located at the northern zone of Thailand were used for developing the models while the collected data year 2022 were used for validating the developed models compared to the conventional models. The statistical error estimations in terms of mean absolute error (MAE), mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) were used for the precision evaluation. The study found that the proposed models achieved better prediction results and the highest precision for monthly estimating of solar radiation than the other models by having the highest estimation precision of 94.70-97.19% compared to 87.53-96.74% of the conventional models and 90.38-95.96% of the PVsyst program.

Abstract

Hybrid graphene nanoplatelet/silver (GNP/Ag/SA) conductive inks are increasingly used in flexible electronics, yet there is limited understanding of how substrate type, solvent composition, and moisture exposure jointly control the electrical performance on metal and polymer substrates. This work aims to clarify how terpinol content (5T, 10T, 15T) and substrate properties of copper (Cu), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) influence voltage, resistance, and resistivity of screen-printed GNP/Ag/SA tracks under dry and postimmersion wet conditions. GNP/Ag/SA inks were formulated with fixed butanol and varied terpinol contents, printed on Cu, PET, and TPU, and characterized using electrical measurements, adhesion evaluation, and microstructural observations to relate resistivity trends to morphology, surface energy, and hygroscopic behavior. The Cu substrate showed the best performance, with Cu 10T achieving the lowest dry resistivity of approximately 1.2×10-5 Ω.m and Cu 15T the lowest wet resistivity of approximately 2.0×10-5 Ω.m, supported by dense, well-adhered microstructures. The PET exhibited higher resistivity values up to about 10-3 Ω.m and clear degradation after water immersion, while TPU showed very high or unmeasurable resistivity in wet conditions caused by severe ink loss and hygroscopic swelling, highlighting the important role of substrate surface energy and moisture response in determining the reliability of GNP/Ag/SA inks for applications in humid or wet environments.
