Experimental photovoltaic-thermal Power Plants based on TESPI panel

摘要: Abstract Solar energy can be used to produce thermal energy, by means of solar panels and electrical using photovoltaic (PV) modules. In urban suburban areas, because a limited number surfaces apt for installation systems, the full development both technologies limited. The integration solar, thermal, PV modules into single unit, so-called (PV-T) module, could possible solution generate heat simultaneously on same surface. Many technical solutions are currently available; however, in this study, analysis is liquid-cooled nonconcentrating PV-T collectors where c-Si cells used. particular, experimental results two pilot plants, based patented panels, named TESPI – electric panel integration, presented. main advantage these that they represent retrofit existing plants. fact, installed top conventional as infrared filtering effect water radiation. A standard test hybrid systems developing new measuring their performance was designed. order improve design check behavior typical domestic hot different solutions, but with identical modules, were analyzed without transfer system. prototypes made (PV PV-T) Italian sites, Enna (Sicily) Pisa (Tuscany), characterized Mediterranean climate. at string level. Different operating conditions tested critical detected.
