Abstract

The temperature of the photovoltaic cell within the panel has an impact on the efficiency of the panel. As a result, the efficiency of the solar panel is affected by the ambient temperature. Throughout operations, the temperature of the photovoltaic panel increases because of solar radiation and the low conversion of photon energy to electrical energy. The heat generated by the photovoltaic cell must be cooled down to lower the temperature of the photovoltaic cell and boost its efficiency. The heat from the photovoltaic cell is absorbed by the single-phase heat transfer fluids, which in this case are water and air. The absorbed heat is then transferred to the feedwater, which heats the feedwater as well. The photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) system is the name for this type of system. The PV/T cooling system for both heat transfer fluid was simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics in order to know the thermal performance of the systems. The most optimal cooling system model to cool the PV/T system as well as heating the feedwater is the water-based cooler tank which used water as the heat transfer fluid and also the solar collector pipe arrangement that used in this research is the parallel pipe arrangement. It can be seen from the significant comparison between the two heat transfer fluids, for example for the pv temperature after being cooled at a flow rate of 50 GPD and solar radiation of 800 W/m2, water-based cooling has a temperature of 46,366oC while air-based cooling has a temperature of 49,518oC which means water-based cooling is better by 6.8% judging on the PV temperature after cooling.

Suhu sel fotovoltaik di dalam panel berdampak pada efisiensi panel. Maka dari itu, efisiensi panel surya dipengaruhi oleh suhu lingkungan. Suhu panel fotovoltaik meningkat karena radiasi matahari dan rendahnya konversi energi foton menjadi energi listrik. Panas yang dihasilkan oleh sel fotovoltaik harus didinginkan untuk menurunkan suhu sel fotovoltaik dan meningkatkan efisiensinya. Panas dari sel fotovoltaik diserap oleh fluida perpindahan panas satu fasa, yang dalam hal ini adalah air dan udara. Panas yang diserap kemudian ditransfer ke air umpan, yang juga memanaskan air umpan. Sistem fotovoltaik-termal (PV/T) adalah nama untuk jenis sistem ini. Sistem pendingin PV/T untuk kedua fluida perpindahan panas disimulasikan menggunakan Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) untuk mengetahui kinerja termal sistem. Model sistem pendingin yang paling optimal untuk mendinginkan sistem PV/T sekaligus memanaskan feedwater adalah tangki pendingin berbasis air yang menggunakan air sebagai fluida transfer panas dan juga susunan pipa kolektor surya yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pipa paralel. pengaturan. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari perbandingan yang signifikan antara kedua fluida perpindahan panas, misalnya untuk temperatur pv setelah didinginkan pada laju alir 50 GPD dan radiasi matahari 800 W/m2, pendingin berbasis air memiliki temperatur 46.366oC sedangkan pendinginan berbasis udara memiliki suhu 49.518oC yang berarti pendinginan berbasis air lebih baik sebesar 6.8% dilihat dari suhu PV setelah pendinginan.
