Thesis
MACMILLAN, S. 1989. An appraisal of wind energy conversion systems for agricultural enterprises. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1694961

A detailed wind prediction model is developed, which predicts wind regimes and energy outputs from wind turbine generators at locations that are remote from sites where long-term wind data is available. The model accounts for the local, directional i... Read More about An appraisal of wind energy conversion systems for agricultural enterprises..

Present and future patterns of energy usage in rural areas. (1987)
Thesis
EDGE, H.M. 1987. Present and future patterns of energy usage in rural areas. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1694928

The hypothesis presented in this study is that: "There exists considerable potential for a greater degree of rural energy autonomy, especially through the medium of increasing integration between agricultural/forestry and domestic sectors, to make be...

Passive solar space heating in housing with particular reference to the Scottish climate. (1983)
Thesis
PORTEOUS, C.D.A. 1983. Passive solar space heating in housing with particular reference to the Scottish climate. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, MPhil thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1993210

The objective of this work was to examine the technical and economic scope for partial passive solar space heating of housing in Scotland. Initially an appraisal of current need and policy within an historical framework, established that trends towar...

Influence of environmental conditions and architectural form on the design and thermal performance of the flat-plate solar collector system. (1981)
Thesis
ROBERTSON, P. 1981. Influence of environmental conditions and architectural form on the design and thermal performance of the flat-plate solar collector system. Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology, PhD thesis.

Solar heating systems, by the nature of their design and inherent thermal mass, are sensitive to the changes in the prevailing climatic conditions. A computer program has been developed to predict and display the dynamic performance of solar water he...
