“…In [5] 923 effectiveness if they are implemented together. In [6] A detailed work has been done for solar car parking site selection and maximum solar electric power generation and its capacity effects with the shading of nearby trees and buildings by using the HelioScope online software developed by Folsom Labs, it is found that the monopitch canopy is the best to mount at solar car parking lots. Other related works could be found in [7,8].…”

The use of the stand-alone PV systems for electric power generation is important to meet the needs of electric power, especially in countries that have major problems in the generation and continuity of electricity such as Iraq. The aim of this research is to design and simulate a stand-alone PV system installed on the roof of the parking garage in the College of Engineering at Al-Nahrain University for the purpose of using the electrical energy generated by this system to meet the energy demand of the daily light for the parking garage and engineering laboratories buildings beside it. The main factor in the design was the total area of the roof of the parking garage. The Pvsyst6 program is used to simulate the suggested PV system and to determine the effect of partial shading which caused by the trees surrounding the garage on the available generated power of the system. A comparison was made between four types of solar panels to see the suitability of these types to the weather conditions in Iraq, in addition to the impact of the shadows surrounding the garage. These types of solar panels were (CIS SL2-145, CdTe F-4112-3, Poly JAP6-60-260, and Mono JAM6-60-260), CdTe type showed better performance compared to other types in terms of available energy generated because it has small losses due to temperature and shadows. It was found that the best tilt angle of the solar panels in the case of shadows is 19o to the south. Finally, the financial analysis was made to see the economic feasibility of this PV system and it is found that the PV system that uses CdTe panels has the smallest kWh unit price (0.236 $/kWh) as compared with the other three types.

Public Toilets have always been a topic of concern. In this innovative world, where all the countries are advancing in their developments and making smart cities, yet the cleanliness and hygiene in our nation is under threat. The public toilets have been established in many parts of the country but they are not maintained well. Due to ill maintenance, the air in the toilets and the surrounding area is not clean and there is bad odor. Hence even though there are many toilets, people do not use the toilets and prefer to excrete in the open environment or near the rivers. Consequently, this causes pollution in our country and spreads more diseases to the living beings. In this paper, new innovative technologies that have been implemented in making of automatic and smart toilets have been discussed. This paper also considers energy conservation techniques that can be used in smart toilets.

Energy is the basic need for any development programme. Growing energy demands are putting the non renewable energy sources at risk of extinction. One of the major energy consuming sector is automobiles, traffic in urban settlements. Now a days battery operated vehicles are on road for public and private transportation which are an alternative to conventional fuel vehicle systems of petrol, diesel, gas oil. But the issue of fuel or we can say charging the battery operated vehicles remains constant and a challenge for urban transportation systems. This paper is focused to design approach of such parking lots and road side parking slots which are not only space for vehicle parking but also charges the vehicle while it is parked. This kind of refueling system will use the idle time of the vehicle and will reduce the requirement of refueling stations. Such system will save the time of the car owner for waiting at refueling or charging station. The methodology of this approach consists of using the renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind energy and distributed energy generation systems so that such systems can be used in designing energy plus human settlements. The distributed energy generation system will reduce the need of major electric substations to handle the generated electricity..
