Hybrid photovoltaic–thermal solar collectors dynamic modeling

Analytical expression of temperature dependent electrical efficiency of N-PVT water collectors connected in series

“…Dupeyrat et al (2014) studied the thermal and electrical performance of a solar hot water system and showed that the PVT system gave more exergy saving than the conventional solar thermal systems. Amrizal et al (2013) developed and validated the dynamical model for PVT water collector in outdoor conditions and found that results were in good agreement with the results obtained from the steady state characterization. Recently Tian and Zhao (2013) reviewed different types of solar collectors and found that the PVT solar collector shows the best performance among the non concentrating solar collectors.…”

Flat plate solar photovoltaic–thermal (PV/T) systems: A reference guide

“…A model of finite differences, simulating a water heating system using a PV/T collector manufactured using a copolymer material to reduce the weight, facilitating the manufacturing, reducing the cost and running in low flow rate conditions [214]. A transient model of a solar PV/T collector was developed based on the EN12975 standard and a backward moving average filtering procedure, and validated experimentally [215]. The energy and exergy performance of a PV/T system with a flat plate collector was found to have 11% electrical efficiency and 15% exergy efficiency [216].…”

Temperature distribution and efficiency assessment of different PVT water collector designs

“…Performance parameters of the PV module (including shortcut current, maximum current and voltage, open circuit voltage and maximum power) were determined using a PV solar analyzer (PROVA 200). Thermal and electrical efficiencies of the hybrid PVT collector were obtained by equations (7) and (8), respectively [33]. A schematic of the instrumentation used for the experiments is shown in figure 4b.…”
