Major Field of Science: | Engineering and Technology | Field Category: | Environmental Engineering | Keywords: | Hybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T);PV/T solar systems | Issue Date: | Oct-2004 | Source: | 3rd International Conference on Heat Powered Cycles, 2004, October, Larnaca, Cyprus. | Conference: | International Conference on Heat Powered Cycles | Abstract: | The hybrid Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) solar systems can simultaneously provide electricity and heat, achieving a higher conversion rate of the absorbed solar radiation than standard PV modules. When properly designed PV/T systems can extract heat from PV modules, heating water or air, aiming to reduce the operating temperature of PV modules and to keep the electrical efficiency at a sufficient level. In this paper we present design considerations for the hybrid PV/T solar systems that are investigated at the University of Patras. The systems are analyzed with respect to their design, electrical and thermal energy output for the pc-Si and a-Si PV module types under the climatic conditions of Patras. In addition, the results from TRNSYS simulation carried out on similar PV/T type systems at the Higher Technical Institute in Nicosia are presented, giving guidelines for their application. The optimum water flow rate is found to be 25 lt/hr, which is low enough to enable the system to work in thermosyphon mode and the solar contribution is 49%. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/2403 | Type: | Conference Papers | Affiliation : | University of Patras Higher Technical Institute Cyprus |
