Modeling of photovoltaic soiling loss as a function of environmental variables by Wasim Javed (6105866)

“…Higher WS typically favored more positive daily ΔCI when RH was low, but at higher RH levels (>50%) daily ΔCI was more likely to be negative with increasing WS. In fact, high RH levels were related to negative daily ΔCI only at higher WS levels (>2ms−1); at lower WS levels RH had no significant effect on daily ΔCI. …”

Mitigation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Agricultural Fields through Bioresource Management by Rimsha Khan (17542128)
