Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Renewable Energy Systems are designed to take benefit of the outdoor natural conditions. Their efficiency and long life depend on them (air flow, air velocity, solar radiation, temperature etc.). Continuous monitoring of outdoor natural qualities is essential for optimizing operation, preventing small and large scale damages and adapting design according local conditions. Common requirement for such applications is saving data for a long period of time and/or the ability to send them on line. This is why most of the instrumentation presented in this chapter is based on transducers: Flow transducers, temperature transducers, solar radiation transducers, humidity transducers, etc.
