“…More recent bibliographic studies have shown that PCM thermal storage systems are a widely investigated technology and a rapidly developing research area [7,8]. PCMs have been studied over the past years in both passive and active systems [2,3] and a number of research groups have investigated PVT systems coupled with ventilated slabs for energy storage [9,10]. Studies on the effectiveness of PVT collectors during daytime heating and night-time radiative cooling have been undertaken, for both water-based and air-based systems [10][11][12].…”

. (2015). Development and optimization of an innovative HVAC system with integrated PVT and PCM thermal storage for a net-zero energy retrofitted house. Energy and Buildings, Development and optimization of an innovative HVAC system with integrated PVT and PCM thermal storage for a net-zero energy retrofitted house AbstractThis paper describes a novel solar-assisted HVAC system developed for the Team UOW 'Illawarra Flame' Solar Decathlon house, the winner of the Solar Decathlon China 2013 competition. This HVAC system consists of an air-based photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) collector and a phase change material (PCM) thermal storage unit integrated with a reverse cycle heat pump, in a ducted system. The system was designed for operation during both winter and summer using daytime solar radiation and night-time sky radiative cooling, respectively. The PVT collector heats or cools fresh air from ambient and thereby provides heating or cooling either directly to the indoor space, or to the PCM storage unit. The heat stored in the PCM can be used later to condition the space or precondition the air entering the air handling unit. Analytical models for the PVT collector and PCM unit were developed in order to be easily implemented into a practical building management system (BMS). Experimental studies on the PVT collector and PCM unit were carried out and the data was used to validate the effectiveness of the models. It is shown that there is a good agreement between the model simulation results and experimental test data. A simple optimisation methodology of the operating modes that involve these components is also presented. collector and a Phase Change Material (PCM) thermal storage unit integrated with a reverse cycle heat pump, in a ducted system.
