Computer simulation of the performance of a photovoltaic system by coupling thermoelectric generators and boost reflectors
Abstract
In the present work a preliminary study of energy generation in monocrystalline silicon panels is shown in five operating conditions: ASTMG-173-03, 1000 W/m2 without cooling, 1000 W/m2 + thermoelectric generators (TEG), coupling of a panel + reinforcing boost reflector and coupling of a panel + reinforcing boost reflector + TEG. The study was carried out comparing the results obtained through the computational simulation of these systems in MatLab Simulink, where five variables of interest were analyzed, irradiance, operating temperature, potential difference, intensity of electric current and generated power, determining the viability of the integration of boost reflector made from a ceramic-based film to photovoltaic solar systems.
