“…It has been concluded that the fins in the PCM can cause further cooling. Emam et al (2017) and Khanna et al (2017a) have investigated CPV-PCM and PV-PCM when heated from front. The PCM's melting rate was found to be fastest when box was kept standing or slanted rather than grounded.…”

Temperature management in photovoltaic (PV) is critical for the power output. Phase Change Material (PCM) usage enables one to remove heat from the system and achieve enhanced electrical output. This study aims at finding the period of PV electrical enhancement, the increase in power and increase in electrical efficiency achieved using PCM under different working circumstances. Results suggest that as the angle of approach of wind changes from 75° to 0°, the electrical enhancement period elevates from 7.0 h to 8.6 h for 5 cm deep PCM box.

“…Emam et al (2017) [85] numerically simulated the performance of an inclined concentrated photovoltaic-phase change material (CPV-PCM) system, the schematic is shown in Figure 14 Figure 14. The CPV was integrated with phase change material with thickness of 50 and 200 mm, the inclination angle of CPV-PCM system was be se led in the range of −45° to 90° in an interval of 45°.…”

Concentrated Photovoltaics (CPV) technology, as an energy saving method which can directly generate electricity from the Sun, has attracted an ever-increasing attention with the deepening worldwide energy crisis. However, operating temperature is one of the main concerns that affect the CPV system. Excess cell temperature causes electrical conversion efficiency loss and cell lifespan decrease. Thus, reasonable cooling methods should decrease the operating temperature and balance the flare inhomogeneity. They also need to display high reliability, low power consumption, and convenient installation. This paper presented the architectural, commercial, and industrial usage of CPV system, reviewed the recent research developments of different cooling techniques of CPV systems during last few years, including the spectral beam splitting technology, cogeneration power technology, commonly used and promising cooling techniques, active and passive cooling methods. It also analysed the design considerations of the cooling methods in CPV systems, introduced the classification and basic working principles and provided a thorough compilation of different cooling techniques with their advantages, current research limitations, challenges, and possible further research directions. The aim of this work is to find the research gap and recommend feasible research direction of cooling technologies for CPV systems.
