“…The BIPV systems encompass both energy-related aspects considering electricity production and buildingrelated aspects linked to the functions of the construction material. The most important challenge of widespread BIPV systems are the economic national policy based on the public acceptance, feed-in-tariff implementation, the national economic support, as well as the technical aspects, such as the losses of energy conversion and the considerations of different architectural elements [178]. Therefore, the economics of the BIPV can be segmented into categories based on the aforementioned criteria.…”

Advances in building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems for residential and commercial purposes are set to minimize overall energy requirements and associated greenhouse gas emissions. The BIPV design considerations entail energy infrastructure, pertinent renewable energy sources, and energy efficiency provisions. In this work, the performance of roof/façade-based BIPV systems and the affecting parameters on cooling/heating loads of buildings are reviewed. Moreover, this work provides an overview of different categories of BIPV, presenting the recent developments and sufficient references, and supporting more successful implementations of BIPV for various globe zones. A number of available technologies decide the best selections, and make easy configuration of the BIPV, avoiding any difficulties, and allowing flexibility of design in order to adapt to local environmental conditions, and are adequate to important considerations, such as building codes, building structures and loads, architectural components, replacement and maintenance, energy resources, and all associated expenditure. The passive and active effects of both air-based and water-based BIPV systems have great effects on the cooling and heating loads and thermal comfort and, hence, on the electricity consumption.

“…The resistance in parallel is also of huge quantity. Hence, Equation (1) can easily be transformed into Equation (2): Many PV cells are connected in series to form a PV module that is capable of delivering higher power. Usually, a single module is comprised of (36, 72, 96, and 128) cells connected in series and are currently available in markets [9].…”

“…The wind, hydrothermal, and geothermal energy resources are highly localized compared with other energy resources [1]. The sunlight is a supreme, abundant, and viable means of renewable energy that can accommodate growing public energy demands [2,3]. The PV system is also attractive owing to its scalability, simple architecture, lack of fuel cost, low carbon footprint, being free of noise, and friendliness to the environment [4,5].…”

Currently, grid-connected Photovoltaic (PV) systems are widely encouraged to meet increasing energy demands. However, there are many urgent issues to tackle that are associated with PV systems. Among them, partial shading is the most severe issue as it reduces efficiency. To achieve maximum power, PV system utilizes the maximum power point-tracking (MPPT) algorithms. This paper proposed a two-level converter system for optimizing the PV power and injecting that power into the grid network. The boost converter is used to regulate the MPPT algorithm. To make the grid-tied PV system operate under non-uniform weather conditions, dragonfly optimization algorithm (DOA)-based MPPT was put forward and applied due to its ability to trace the global peak and its higher efficiency and shorter response time. Furthermore, in order to validate the overall performance of the proposed technique, comparative analysis of DOA with adaptive cuckoo search optimization (ACSO) algorithm, fruit fly optimization algorithm combined with general regression neural network (FFO-GRNN), improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO), and PSO and Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm were presented by using Matlab/Simulink. Subsequently, a voltage source inverter (VSI) was utilized to regulate the active and reactive power injected into the grid with high efficiency and minimum total harmonic distortion (THD). The instantaneous reactive power was adjusted to zero for maintaining the unity power factor. The results obtained through Matlab/Simulink demonstrated that power injected into the grid is approximately constant when using the DOA MPPT algorithm. Hence, the grid-tied PV system’s overall performance under partial shading was found to be highly satisfactory and acceptable.

“…Most often, the engaging parameters are PV inclination, orientation and occupant comfort. However, there are electrical cables involved for BIPV and the other electronic components [254]. Besides, Perovskite integrated into a building in northern latitude place where snow and rain are the most common phenomenon that should be considered before integration [255,256].…”

Perovskite Solar Cells for BIPV Application: A Review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The rapid efficiency enhancement of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) make it a promising photovoltaic (PV) research, which has now drawn attention from industries and government organizations to invest for further development of PSC technology. PSC technology continuously develops into new and improved results. However, stability, toxicity, cost, material production and fabrication become the significant factors, which limits the expansion of PSCs. PSCs integration into a building in the form of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) is one of the most holistic approaches to exploit it as a next-generation PV technology. Integration of high efficiency and semi-transparent PSC in BIPV is still not a well-established area. The purpose of this review is to get an overview of the relative scope of PSCs integration in the BIPV sector. This review demonstrates the benevolence of PSCs by stimulating energy conversion and its perspective and gradual evolution in terms of photovoltaic applications to address the challenge of increasing energy demand and their environmental impacts for BIPV adaptation. Understanding the critical impact regarding the materials and devices established portfolio for PSC integration BIPV are also discussed. In addition to highlighting the apparent advantages of using PSCs in terms of their demand, perspective and the limitations, challenges, new strategies of modification and relative scopes are also addressed in this review.
