Hybrid photovoltaic thermal power cogeneration during different irradiances

The power demand is a predicament for the next generation due to the increasing number of consumer utilities and the development of most of the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. Because of reduction of fossil fuels and environmental pollution, power generation by the use of natural resources should be considered. The co-generation of electrical power using a Photovoltaic Thermal Hybrid Solar Panel is useful for local power consumers like household home appliances. The photovoltaic (PV) cell is heated by the different modes of heating by natural sunlight and the corresponding variations of electrical power and thermal power are analyzed in this proposed research. The combined use of PV with thermal energy for heating the glasses of PV surfaces makes the system operate more efficiently and reliably to operate to get Maximum power from the cogeneration output. The proposed simulation includes the cogeneration of photovoltaic energy and thermal energy by the conversion process of converting the light energy into heat transfer by the Fresnel radiation method. Here the thermal energy transfer to the pumped water is simulated in different modes like radiation, convection, and conduction. In this analysis, the overall power generation by solar energy, the efficiency of generated electrical and thermal energy, and overall power generation are calculated.
