Book Synopsis Photovoltaic Thermal Collectors with Nanofluids and Nano-PCM by : Ali H. A. Al-Waeli

This book was released on 2024-01-20 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives you theory and design of PV/T systems. Are you interested in solar energy? If you are, you must have read about solar panels, or photovoltaics (PV). If you have installed a photovoltaic system, you must have noticed it not to generate the amount of power mentioned in its datasheet. A major issue that PV suffers from is its temperature, which causes a drop in its power. Among the solutions to this issue is to use active cooling methods, such as the hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) system. These systems can produce electrical and thermal energy simultaneously and within same area. The thermal collector serves to cool down the PV surface temperature, which negatively affects the PV efficiency, to reclaim the efficiency or bring it back close to standard testing conditions value. Moreover, the thermal collector will convey this heat using a working fluid and extract it as thermal energy. On the other hand, the electrical power generated from the PV can be utilized in standalone or grid-connected configuration. Moreover, the book presents a novel PV/T collector which can utilize nanofluids and nano-Phase Change Material (PCM) to enhance its performance in tropical climate conditions. The methods used to develop the heat transfer and energy balance equations are presented as well. PV/T collector numerical simulation using MATLAB and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) was also presented. Finally, the approach of life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) is presented to evaluate PV/T with nanofluid and nano-PCM, economically.

Download or read book Solar Energy Conversion Systems in the Built Environment written by Ion Visa and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-08 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on solar energy conversion systems that can be implemented in the built environment, at building or at community level. The quest for developing a sustainable built environment asks for specific solutions to provide clean energy based on renewable sources, and solar energy is considered one of the cleanest available energy on Earth. The specific issues raised by the implementation location are discussed, including the climatic profile distorted by the buildings, the available surface on the buildings for implementation, etc. This book also discusses the seasonal and diurnal variability of the solar energy resource in parallel with the variability of the electrical and thermal energy demand in the built environment (particularly focusing on the residential buildings). Solutions are proposed to match these variabilities, including the development of energy mixes with other renewables (e.g. geothermal or biomass, for thermal energy production). Specific solutions, including case studies of systems implemented on buildings all over the world, are presented and analyzed for electrical and for thermal energy production and the main differences in the systems design are outlined. The conversion efficiency (thus the output) and the main causes of energy losses are considered in both cases. The architectural constraints are additionally considered and novel solar energy convertors with different shapes and colors are presented and discussed. The durability of the solar energy conversion systems is analyzed considering the specific issues that occur when these systems are implemented in the built environment; based on practical examples, general conclusions are formulated and specific aspects are discussed in relation to experimental results and literature data. With renewables implemented in the built environment likely to expand in the near future, this book represents welcome and timely material for all professionals and researchers that are aiming to provide efficient and feasible solutions for the sustainable built environment.

This book was released on 2023-01-16 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2022 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, Anna University (Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College), course: PhD in Mechanical Engineering, language: English, abstract: The photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) based system is a newer, more efficient substitute for the conventional form of the PV module. A PV/T system is a combined product of a standard PV module and solar thermal collector components that generates both electrical power and heat from a single integrated unit. The thermal collector components absorb the excess heat with the help of a working medium like water, air and nanofluid from the PV module and utilise it for domestic and industrial applications. Therefore, producing electrical power and heat from a single PV/T system is an intellectual concept that can meet both energy requirements. A novel Sandwich Glazed Photovoltaic (SGPV) module has been designed and fabricated to be used in the photovoltaic thermal system instead of the standard photovoltaic (SPV) module to address the problem of overheating. However, the bottom layer material and geometry of the PV module were changed in this work to improve the performance of the system. Initially, the temperature in the various layers and the photovoltaic efficiency of SPV and SGPV modules were obtained from the experiments. Furthermore, 3D models of SPV and SGPV modules were developed using Solid Works software, and temperature distribution and heat flow within the modules were investigated using ANSYS software. Finally, the mechanism behind the change in photovoltaic efficiency with respect to temperature is determined from the experiment and thermal analysis results. The maximum photovoltaic efficiency of the SPV and SGPV modules was 10.8% and 11.1%, respectively, and it was discovered that the SGPV module outperforms the SPV module. After that, the Sandwich Glazed Photovoltaic Thermal (SGPV/T) system was developed using the SGPV module. Subsequently, the photovoltaic, thermal, and overall efficiency of the proposed system were assessed by experimentation and compared with the standard PV module. Furthermore, the programmed electrical and thermal models are simulated using MATLAB for comparative analysis. Subsequently, the experiment results were compared with the MATLAB Simulation results and found that the performance and outlet water temperature of the SGPV/T system are significantly improved with an average photovoltaic, thermal and overall efficiency of 9.67%, 41.34% and 66.78%, respectively. The findings, specifications and novelty of the proposed system were compared to previous studies.
