“…Tiwari et al [127] have derived the energy matrices considering the embodied energy at different stages. Dubey et al [128] have evaluated the energy matrices of a hybrid PVT water-heating system in term of thermal energy and exergy. The life cycle conversion efficiency of the system was evaluated by considering the life time (n) of the system as 10, 20 and 30 years.…”

Schools are a suitable public building for renewable energy systems. Renewable energy hybrid systems (REHSs) have recently been introduced in schools following a new national regulation that mandates renewable energy utilization. An REHS combines the common renewable-energy sources such as geothermal heat pumps, solar collectors for water heating, and photovoltaic systems with conventional energy systems (i.e., boilers and air-source heat pumps). Optimal design of an REHS by adequate sizing is not a trivial task because it usually requires intensive work including detailed simulation and demand/supply analysis. This type of simulation-based approach for optimization is difficult to implement in practice. To address this, this paper proposes simplified sizing equations for renewable-energy systems of REHSs. A conventional optimization process is used to calculate the optimal combinations of an REHS for cases of different numbers of classrooms and budgets. On the basis of the results, simplified sizing equations that use only the number of classrooms as the input are proposed by regression analysis. A verification test was carried out using an initial conventional optimization process. The results show that the simplified sizing equations predict similar sizing results to the initial process, consequently showing similar capital costs within a 2% error.

Since 1970's a lot of research and development has been done on various modules of PVT. Many innovative models of PVT has been developed and put forward and validity has been evaluated by experimental data.This paper presents the various performance parameters of different types of modules which include both Air and Water as collector. Effects of various parameters, namely interest rate, life of the system and the maintenance cost have been taken into account. A comparison is made keeping in view the energy matrices. The study has been based on electrical, thermal and energy output of the HPVT air collector. An analysis of an actively cooled combined of photovoltaic thermal system consisting if a linear solar concentrator and tubular absorber has been presented here. An attempt has also been made to evaluate the thermal performance of two types of hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) air collector system for composite climate of New Delhi. This paper also presents the performance evaluation of a hybrid photovoltaic thermal (Semi transparent PVT) double pass facade for space heating. This paper presents theoretical and experimental analysis of double pass solar air collector with and without porous material. A novel solar air collector of pin-fin integrated absorber designed to increase the thermal efficiency is also discussed here. Keywords: Hybrid photovoltaic thermal (HPVT) air collector, solar air collector, passive and hybrid (PV/T) active solar still, thermal performance, energy and exergy efficiencies. I. INTRODUCTIONIncreasing cost of fossil fuels has compelled scientists to look for different options to meet energy requirements keeping in view that such options are economical, abundant in nature and have low maintenance cost. Over the years, scientists have studied various options available such as nuclear energy, wind energy, bio mass, fuel cell, solar energy, etc. Studies have shown that amongst available sources of energy, solar energy appears to be freely available, more economical and truly environment friendly than other sources of energy available [1]. Solar energy can be utilized as electrical energy, thermal energy or a combination of both. Hybrid photovoltaic thermal (HPVT) air collector system can collectively generate electrical and thermal energy. The HPVT system can be used as air collector/water collector. A HPVT air collector consists of a PV module with an air duct mounted below the PV module. The air is passed through the duct by using a fan. The air gets heated by using the thermal energy available at the bottom of the PV module. In case of HPVT water collector, water is used in place of air [2]. Thus, an HPVT system can be used as (1) Air collector (2) Water collector
