Abstract:Direct coupling of photovoltaic (PV) modules to electrolyser(s) (ECs) can benefit from reduced component costs by omitting power electronics. Thermal integration of the PV to the EC could potentially enhance performance by cooling the PV and heating up the EC. However, conventional PV and EC constructions need an additional heat exchanger to make this possible. Without concentrating optics, the temperature of the PV remains comparatively low, which could be an added challenge for effective use of the waste hea… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
