Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) System with and Without Fins Collector: Theoretical Approach

Abstract

The fins collector design for solar thermal has widely been used and it has a higher thermal efficiency than without Fins. Photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) system produced Electrical and thermal energy instantaneously. Mathematical modeling based on steady-state thermal analysis of PV/T system with and without fins was conducted with matrix inversion method. The value results show that the PV/T system with fins collector is higher thermal and electrical efficiency than without fins. Keyword: Electrical INTRODUCTIONThe collector design is greatest vital units of solar collector system or PV/T system to collect heat from solar energy. The use of fins absorber has been conducted widely in the solar collector. Solar collector with two-pass fins have been conducted by Naphon[1] with thermal efficiency is about 30-60%. Fudholi et al. [2] have compared solar collector two-channel with and without fins performance and price welfares analysis. The energy efficiency and cost-effective of two-channel with fins are higher than without fins collector.Taghi et al. [3] have conducted the analysis of heat reaction for point covered topology in the photovoltaic thermal system. The basic idea is the exploit electrical energy through a new point covered topology. The experimental investigation shows that the performance of electrical analysis increases about 10 degrees. Kumari and Babu [4]have compared between theoretical and simulation approach of the photovoltaic cell by Matlab-Simulink Situation. The main of purpose is to catch factor of the nonlinear I-V calculation by modifying the curve at three ideas: open circuit, extreme power, and short circuit. Sharma et al.[5]haveanalyzed the demonstrating and simulation approach of off-grid power generation system by photovoltaic. The objective this research is to confirm steady process during responsibility and numerous network instabilities in network and islanding connected mode. Zohri et al.[6] have analyzed by mathematical modeling of photovoltaic thermal (PVT) with and without a v-groove collector. the energy analysis result displays that performance energy with v-groove is higher than without v-groove collector.The PV/T system has well in the future because of generating both thermal and electrical energy which it's higher dependability and lower ecological impact [7].Thermal application and different types of PV/T system solar collector on basis of physical assortment, scheme condition, and different heat removal

Overview on recent photovoltaic module cooling methods: advances PVT systems

“…The PVT system had improved the electrical deficiency of the PV system as heat from the panel had been extracted. The studies on PVT system had been anticipated by lots of researchers which intended to study on how it can contribute its performances in generating both electrical and heat energy [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Effect analysis of the different channel length and depth of photovoltaic thermal system with ∇-groove collector

“…The use of fins collector is higher energy and exergy efficiency than without fins collector. Zohri et al [5] have done developed performances analysis of photovoltaic thermal with and without fins collector. The energy performance of fins collector was very good than without fins collector.…”

Energy and exergy analysis of air based photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collector: a review

“…Accordingly, PVT collector consists of one or more cover (glass sheets) or a transparent material placed above an absorbing plate with air flowing around it. One way to enhance the collector's efficiency of PVT collector is use heat transfer area through absorber with finned absorber, corrugated surfaces, and porous media [1]- [8]. PVT collectpr can be classified into four types base on heat transfer medium; air-based PVT collector, water-based PVT collector, the combination of water/air-based PVT collector, and nanofluidbased PVT collector [9].…”
