“…As the ideality factor increases, the current and voltage output reduces. The effect of the ideality factor on the cell performance is quite negligible at lower voltages but becomes significant as voltages increases a trend also reported by Tamarakar et al [19] and Das, [29].…”

This research centered on the design, simulation and testing of a solar thermoelectric refrigerator. Mathematical models of the system were derived and solved using MATLAB to predict the performance of the refrigerator at various operating conditions of applied voltage and temperature gradients. Simulations were carried out in order to test the system's effectiveness when powered with solar energy. Simulation results of the thermoelectric refrigeration showed the heat pumping capacities of the TEC1-12706 module as 42.6W, 38.9W, 35.3W and 31.7W at temperature gradients of 5°C, 10°C, 15°C and 20°C respectively, the heat dissipation capacities of the TEC1-12706 module as 132 W, 125.3 W, 118.7 W and 112.2 W at temperature gradients of 5°C, 10°C, 15°C and 20°C respectively and the corresponding coefficient of performance as 0.468, 0.436, 0.402 and 0.368 at temperature gradients of 5°C, 10°C, 15°C and 20°C respectively. The experimental results indicated a steady decline of temperature in the refrigerated chamber from 28.7°C to 3.3°C in a time frame of three hours. Thus, solar power thermoelectric refrigerator is an alternative source of cooling as it is environmentally friendly.

The students following Engineering disciplines should acquire a conceptual understanding of the concepts and the processors and attitudes. There are two recognizable learning environments for students: classroom and laboratory environments. With the COVID-19 Pandemic, both environments merged to online environments, impacting students' processes and characteristic attitudes development. This paper introduces a theoretical framework based on experiential learning to plan and deliver processes online. A case study based on the power-factor correction experiment was presented. The traditional experiment that runs for 2 hours was broken into smaller tasks such as pre-lab activity, simulation exercise, PowerPoint presentation, remote laboratory activity, and final report based on the experiential learning approach. The delivery of the lab under online mode delivery was presented. Then students' performance was compared before and after the online mode of delivery. It was found that students' performance on average has a distinct improvement. In order to obtain students' reflections about the online experiential learning approach, a questionnaire that carries close and open-ended questions was administered. The majority of the students liked the approach followed and praised for allowing them to experiment in a novel way during the COVID-19.

“…It consists of a centralized control centre and solar generation units along with the energy storage system. In [10], Das proposes a MATLAB-Simulink based virtual laboratory for students to understand the characteristic of solar cells and PV systems. The reflection of the learning outcome is assessed by using pre-and post-lab questions in terms of the technical content.…”

The deployment of distributed generation contributes to the facilitation of the microgrid concept and grid modernization on a global scale. An increasing number of workforces are required for further development of microgrid systems. However, the mismatch between the University education and industry expectation places a negative impact on workforce development for future energy infrastructure. This paper introduces the implementation of a microgrid virtual laboratory for a design course. The key elements of this developed course are described in detail and the reflections from the students are investigated. This contribution also provides a statistical analysis of the students' knowledge gap in the field of microgrids. The curricula design outlined in this study can be proposed in future power engineering education to offer competent students for the microgrid industry.
