Optimization of number of collectors for integrated PV/T hybrid active solar still

Optimal design of orientation of PV/T collector with reflectors

“…This system was used as the roof top of a building to generate higher electrical energy per unit area and to produce necessary thermal energy required for space heating. On the other hand, the optimization of number of collectors for integrated PV/T hybrid active solar still were considered by Gaur and Tiwari [17]. The indoor test procedure for thermal and electrical testing of PV/T collectors connected in series proposed by Solanki et al [18] is very useful.…”

Review on series connected photovoltaic thermal (PVT) systems: Analytical and experimental studies

“…Dwivedi and Tiwari (2010) developed thermal modeling of active double slope solar still (DSSS) under the natural circulation mode in order to study the system performance; and experimentally validated the developed thermal model. Gaur and Tiwari (2010) (series and parallel) in order to get the best configuration. They found that the parallel forced mode configuration gives enhanced values of the energy (maximum 32%) and exergy (maximum 2:3%) efficiencies.…”

A novel small dynamic solar thermal desalination plant with a fluid piston converter

“…Wu et al presented in [36] results on research of thermodynamic cycles implemented for adsorption-based desalination. Gaur and Tiwari studied optimization of number of collectors for the integrated PV/T hybrid active solar still in [37]. There is also a number of works dedicated to economic assessment of various types of desalination systems and an example of such research is work by Shiv Kumar and Tiwari on the life cycle cost analysis of a single slope hybrid (PV/T) active solar still [38].…”
