“…Based on these criteria, a PCM RT-25 [22], [23] are selected with thermal characteristics as shown in TABLE 1. The PCM container construction varied between four types of construction cavity volume (CV), Cavity Finned (CF), Cavity CHannel (CCH), and Cavity CaPsules (CCP) as shown in Table 2 c. Simple TEG products model with dimention of 40mmx 40mm x3.5mm [20].…”

Current research aims to identify the finest phase change material container construction and tries to close the design gap for optimum photovoltaic panel thermal management. The phase change material is used as heat sink of photovoltaic panel and heat source for thermoelectric generator. The latent heat of phase change material maximizes the power generation from thermoelectric generator. The results show that the efficiency of the photovoltaic panel was enhanced by 3% and steady for ten hours. The photovoltaic panel electrical output power was enhanced by 25% under different weather conditions. The hybrid cooling system with capsules phase change material cavity shows a significant enhancement and stability in thermal system management, photovoltaic efficiency, and system output power.

“…This test was done through simulation providing similar standard conditions and they concluded around 6 % of increase in efficiency than the stand-alone PV panel. Furthermore, Metwally et al [19] developed a hybrid PV/TEG model and built an active cooling system which resulted in an increase in efficiency and power generation by 4 % -20 %. By evaluating the literature, it was analyzed that the hybrid PV/TEG has higher efficiency and better power production potential than the stand-alone PV and the efficiency of the hybrid system can be improved by adapting suitable configurations and cooling strategies.…”

Photovoltaics (PV) is one of the important technologies for electricity generation from renewable energies today and has an excellent environmental sustainability. It is a fast-growing market worldwide and also offers opportunities for aviation to intensify the use of renewable sources. Although the efficiency of PV systems has increased to a certain extent in recent years, a predominant part of solar radiation acting on a PV system is still lost to the environment through reflection and convection as well as heat radiation from the heated PV system. In addition, the efficiency of these systems decreases with increasing heating. Possible solutions for energy harvesting of this energy loss through thermoelectric (TE) have been investigated theoretically and in part experimentally in various cases but have not yet been transferred to larger PV systems. At the same time, cooling the PV system through thermogenerators (TEG) allows its efficiency to be increased. This contribution presents first results from investigations into the design and testing of hybrid PV/TEG systems, which aim to increase the efficiency and improve economic manufacturability of such systems. Among others, important design aspects of hybrid PV/TEG systems and integration of IoT elements (Internet of Things) are addressed and the development of an analytical model to optimise hybrid systems is presented.
