“…When the characteristic curves of the developed PVPEMs given in Figure 14 are examined; it can be easily seen that the results are similar to the I-V and P-V curves to those of commercial PV panels [4,35]. In addition, these characteristic curves and V oc and I sc values given in F I G U R E 1 0 Wiring connections used in experimental studies Table 2 are quite consistent with results given in the literature [5,9,11,22]. These results show that PVPEMs and LabVIEW block diagrams have correctly been developed and designed.…”

“…In the process of transformation from traditional energy sources to renewable energy sources, well-trained technicians and engineers are needed to carry out design, installation, distribution, maintenance, and repair services [5]. For this purpose, it is important to adapt course syllabuses and educational materials to new conditions in educational institutions that train qualified technicians and engineers [16].…”

In this study, a photovoltaic (PV) panel emulator was developed based on a single diode model of a PV cell, and four prototypes of this kind emulator have been produced. In addition, an electronic potentiometer and a central control unit were developed to be used in experimental studies. Each of the developed emulators was planned to be at least 16 W in power. LabVIEW‐based interfaces were designed to reveal the electrical characteristics of the PV panel emulator and compare them with that of an actual PV panel, and the acquired electrical data were graphical analyzed with Matlab program. Results show that the developed PV panel emulator and actual PV panel characteristics are consistent with each other. A low‐cost system which does not need light source for experimental studies has been developed to be used in renewable energy laboratories, and to give psychomotor and cognitive behaviors to students.

“…The parameters studied were fresh drinking water produced, still efficiency, PV panel power production, PV panel efficiency, and exergy efficiency. Sensing the need for renewable energy education, a fully functioning solar photovoltaic laboratory model was used to demonstrate and teach engineering students the components of the system, the working principles, and the maximum power point to improve their understanding of the theoretical course on RES [47]. The experiments were designed to be used along with the theoretical renewable energy course.…”

The essential requirements of our everyday lives are fresh air, pure water, nourishing food, and clean energy in a most sustainable manner. The present review article concisely discusses recent innovations in solar energy education, research, and development toward providing clean and affordable energy and clean water to some extent. This article primarily addresses the Sustainable Development Goal 7 of the United Nations (SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy). Over the past few decades, many research activities have been carried out on solar energy conversion and utilization. The deployment of solar energy technologies has been witnessed to combat global warming and the betterment of the planet. Drivers and barriers to implementing solar energy systems from school to master's level through real-time deployments are discussed for further development and innovations. Mainly, expedited solar energy education and research are essential to improve solar energy utilization. The advancements in solar energy education and research towards sustainable energy development and circular economy are highlighted along with further directions required.

“…Nevertheless, students sometimes are not prepared to propose new ideas for solving engineering problems because it is not an easy task that can be learned only following predefined laboratory exercises. For instance, there are excellent laboratories designed to learn renewable energy systems 42 that is a critical topic. However, the undergraduate students are not motivated to develop solutions in renewable energy in this course.…”

Electrical energy systems are facing significant challenges as climate changes, and electric energy demands increasingly affect the quality of electrical energy. Since electrical energy impacts social and technological conditions, the economy and energy are strongly related. Smart electric grids, in particular, require new technologies, products, and skilled human resources. However, innovation in electrical systems has been marginal, and skilled human resources are difficult to secure. As a result, several open innovation laboratories have been created to promote open technology and entrepreneurship among engineering students, who often run the laboratories under the guidance of faculty advisors. Such laboratories frequently organize seminars, workshops, hackathons, and meetups; however, they largely fail to produce many marketable products, often due to a lack of collaboration with other innovative facilities and firms. To improve the quality of services in open innovation laboratories, the connection between firms and universities must be appropriately defined and developed. To address this problem, this paper proposes a novel concept for an open innovation laboratory based on the overlapping of four innovation facilities that is capable of changing according to product requirements. This new concept will improve students’ innovation and learning processes and promote positive relationships between universities and firms. Also, this paper provides new insights into open innovation laboratories that can enhance the quality of the innovations produced by universities. Finally, it presents case studies developed at Tecnologico de Monterrey to validate the open innovation laboratory concept as an influential concept for developing products.
