“…From this result, the optimum exergy efficiency was 0.38 with mass flow rates of 0.02 and 0.04 kg/s [17]. In several studies, they also investigated numerically [18][19] and experimentally [20][21] the effect of fins, TEG, TEC and paraffin material on the performance of the flat plate collector. In terms of numerical study, it reported that the fin arrangement PV/TEG collector is the factor that has the biggest impact on the temperature difference of TEG sides with a contribution of 33.31%.…”

PV/T-TEC collector is a device that can produce thermal energy and electrical energy at the same time. The electrical performance may be increased by absorbing residual heat from the PV surface. Due to the temperature difference available between the hot and cold sides of this collector, additional electrical energy can be also generated by using the TEC to increase the total efficiency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the thermal effect of using both fins and TECs acting as a heatsink. Thus, the perforated zone with a dimension of 100 x 50 x 2 mm was manufactured by lancing and bending processes. Furthermore, 44 pieces of TECs were placed inside the perforated-finned zone and were attached underneath the PV surface to allow a convection heat transfer process. The model collector was then tested by using a solar simulator under 1100 W/m2 with different fluid mass flow rates ranging from 0 to 0.339 kg/s. To meet the test requirements, environmental fluid flow was also implemented and simulated by a fan with an air velocity of 1 m/s. The results showed that increasing the air mass flow rate as a working fluid by five times can reach the operating temperature of the model collector by about 64 °C (24% decrease) and 74 °C (26% decrease) for both with and without environmental fluid flow, respectively. Meanwhile, under the same test conditions, the maximum value for the temperature difference of TEC sides is found to be 5.6 °C for both with and without ambient fluid flow.

Indonesia, abundant in solar energy, poses significant potential for harnessing this renewable resource for electricity generation. This study investigates the feasibility of employing photovoltaic (PV) modules, powered by solar energy, for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Surakarta, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Surabaya, and Malang. Utilizing the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER) software, simulations were conducted to assess on-grid Solar Power Plants (PLTS) systems that leverage both PV modules and grid power. This research enhances existing studies on solar energy potential in Indonesia, emphasizing profitable renewable energy business models. Economic evaluations were conducted based on the Net Present Cost (NPC) and the Cost of Energy (COE), integral metrics for determining investment feasibility. Preliminary capital for PLTS development was estimated at Rp 5,399,387,501.00. Results indicate Semarang City as the most promising location for a PLTS system with an NPC value of Rp 23,243,190,000.00 and a COE value of Rp 1,108.11. The designed PLTS system in Semarang City is projected to generate 982.090 kWh/year of electricity, with estimated consumption at 922.467 kWh/year. This study offers novel insights into the potential of solar-powered EV charging stations in Indonesia.
