What is a phase change material (CPV) heat sink?

Novel designs have been proposed for the phase change material (PCM) heat sink of concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) cells to enhance both convective and conductive heat transfer mechanisms. Trapezoid (with two different thickness ratios) and zigzag geometry designs are suggested for the CPV-heat sink.

What is a photovoltaic thermal (pv/T) system?

Photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) systems can supply electricity and thermal energy simultaneously. There are many different approaches for PV/T integration . In a flat-plate water-type PV/T device, the thermal absorber is the key component which determines its performance.

How are thin film PV modules made?

Thin film PV modules are typically processed as a single unit from beginning to end, where all steps occur in one facility. The manufacturing typically starts with float glass coated with a transparent conductive layer, onto which the photovoltaic absorber material is deposited in a process called close-spaced sublimation.

Can zigzag heat sink reduce PV layer temperature?

However, the convection-improving based methods such as Trapeze 1 and zigzag heat sink could be considerably more successful than the simple rectangular case and reduce the PV layer temperature to close to the PV layer temperature in foamed and finned rectangular heat sink, especially after 1200 s.

Is a concentrated photovoltaic a good alternative?

It seems that the concentrated photovoltaic with the proposed Trapeze 1 heat sink with two triangle fins is a suitable alternative to the conventional concentrated photovoltaic with the finned rectangular heat sink with lower cost and almost the same absorbed heat, exergy efficiency, and improvement in CO 2 emission reduction.

What is the difference between a concentrated photovoltaic cell and a heat sink?

While the concentrated photovoltaic cells with the proposed Trapeze 1 heat sink with two triangle fins and simultaneously, the concentrated photovoltaic with the foamed rectangular heat sink possess the second rank in electricity generation with about 2.75 kWh and also improve the CO 2 emission reduction by about 10.7%.
