Analysis of Heat Potential in Solar Panels for Thermoelectric Generators using ANSYS Software

The growing demand for energy has an impact on the development of environmentally friendly renewable energy. sun is that potential to be used as electrical through light and heat Recently, research interest related photovoltaic performance increased. Several studies have investigated effect panel cooling performance. In this study, use exergy solar panels considered improve by adding a thermoelectric system. Research work testing with thermoelectrics at low temperatures not been carried out. Therefore, experimental methods obtain temperature profiles simulation see power generated from method out using mono-crystalline type K sensors retrieve data acquisition deviations current, voltage, results panel. model was ANSYS software. Tests are out, taking into account back system showed fluctuated due influence cloud cover, highest 57°C, lowest 30°C. maximum produced 39.8W. It then applied based temperature, value 1673.4 mW. This photovoltaic-thermoelectric generator produces 4.2% increase in over conventional systems. findings study can reference all types low-temperature Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-07-02 Full Text: PDF
