“…Thermal energy storage systems are at the forefront of sustaining energy resources and minimizing the detrimental impact of climate change ( Arshad et al, 2019 ). Resultantly, the usage of phase change materials (PCMs) can be found in various applications such as cooling electronic gadgets ( Ali et al, 2018 ; Arshad et al, 2021a ), photovoltaic (PV) cells ( Gad et al, 2022 ), Li-ion batteries ( Peng et al, 2022 ), solar air heaters ( Abu-Hamdeh et al, 2022 ; Verma et al, 2022 ), solar concentrator heat storage units ( Bashir et al, 2021 ; Eisapour et al, 2022a ), cold thermal storage ( Ghodrati et al, 2022 ), and waste heat storage systems ( Gürbüz et al, 2022 ).…”

This study aims to evaluate the melting characteristics of a phase change material (PCM) in a latent heat storage system equipped with hemispherical and quarter-spherical fins. A vertical triple-pipe heat exchanger is used as the PCM-based heat storage unit to improve the melting performance compared with a double-pipe system. Furthermore, the fins are arranged in inline and staggered configurations to improve heat transfer performance. For the quarter-spherical fins, both upward and downward directions are examined. The results of the system equipped with novel fins are compared with those without fins. Moreover, a fin is added to the heat exchanger’s base to compensate for the natural convection effect at the bottom of the heat exchanger. Considering similar fin volumes, the results show that the system equipped with four hemispherical fins on the side walls and an added fin on the bottom wall has the best performance compared with the other cases with hemispherical fins. The staggered arrangement of the fins results in a higher heat transfer rate. The downward quarter-spherical fins with a staggered configuration show the highest performance among all the studied cases. Compared with the case without fins, the heat storage rate improves by almost 78% (from 35.6 to 63.5 W), reducing the melting time by 45%.

“…These results prove the perfect validity of the non-Fourier model for predicting PV performance. The theoretical validation is performed by comparing the values of cell temperature, output power, electrical efficiency, and exergy efficiency estimated by the fractional Cattaneo model, and the Fourier model with their corresponding values solved by classical models of (Soliman and Hassan 2018), and (Gad et al 2022). The outcomes show that there is a significant difference between the experimental curve and the numerical curve solved by the classical models during the whole period of measurement.…”

“…To perform the economic analysis of the proposed photovoltaic systems, several parameters should be considered such as the capital cost of the PV (Ps), annual maintenance cost (AMC), sinking fund factor (SFF), and annual salvage value (ASV). So, the cost of electricity production for the photovoltaic system can be assessed by (Gad et al 2022;Yousef, Sharaf, and Huzayyin 2022):…”

A new fractional non-Fourier (Cattaneo) photovoltaic (PV) model is developed to improve the thermal performance of a PV system combined with a heat spreader (HS). In contrast to the traditional Fourier model, which is unable to reliably predict system performance, the fractional Cattaneo model proves its efficiency in looking at transient processes throughout the entire PV system. It can also accurately expect PV performance even at short temporal scales. Consequently, a comparison is conducted between the classical Fourier model with the fractional Fourier and fractional Cattaneo models for the PV system. Real experimental data are used to validate the fractional Cattaneo model. The findings show that it perfectly matches the measured data, with an error percentage in PV power and exergy efficiency of only 0.628% and 3.84%, respectively, compared to 5.72% and 13.13% resulted from the classical model. An assessment of the effect of using rectangular and trapezoidal spreaders on output power, electrical efficiency, exergy efficiency, economic, exergoeconomic, and enviroeconomic parameters is introduced and discussed. The outcomes revealed that the electrical production costs of the rectangular and trapezoidal HS systems are 0.272 and 0.214 $/kWh, respectively, while about 0.286 $/kWh for the conventional PV panel. Finally, the findings show that the modified PV systems with the spreader are liked to be greener than the conventional ones.

Summary In this study, theoretical performance investigation and economic analysis of hybrid solar system‐driven integrated reverse osmosis (RO)/adsorption multigeneration system have been performed. The system delivers the required cooling during summer operation via adsorption chiller freshwater and electricity via RO unit and photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) collectors, respectively, throughout the year for building in Alexandria, Egypt during the typical daily working hours. A hybrid solar system comprising evacuated tube collectors (ET) and PVT collectors is proposed to supply the required heat and electricity. Four configurations: Case 1 has only PVT, Case 2 has 75% PVT and 25% ET, Case 3 has 50% PVT and 50% ET, and Case 4 has 25% PVT and 75% ET. A dynamic model for the performance of the proposed multigeneration system is constructed and analyzed using MATLAB software. The results show that increasing PVT area share improves system energy and exergy efficiencies and economic performance but at the expense of produced cooling capacity. The average cooling of the adsorption chiller is 5.8, 7.6, 9.5, and 11.5 kW for Cases 1 to 4, respectively, and RO specific energy consumption is about 2.467 kWh/m3 of freshwater. Energy savings of approximately 32.95 MWh/year are achieved for Case 1, while its CO2 emissions cut is about 18.06 of equivalent tonCO2 per year. The Payback periods of the proposed system are about 10.3, 11.68, 15.85, and 24.3 years for Case 1 to Case 4, respectively, demonstrating the system economic viability.
