Energy And Exergy Analysis

The Performance of a thermal system is generally analysed by carrying out energy and exergy analysis of its different subsystems. In the present study the performance of subsystem namely PDC, receiver plate and PDC in a system of solar parabolic dish thermoelectric generator is studied. It is found that the energy and exergy loss are minimum in the receiver plate as compared to PDC and thermoelectric generator (TEG) at a particular direct normal irradiation (DNI). The exergy and energy efficiency in the PDC and TEG increase with increase in concentration ratio.

Purpose Nanotechnology has developed gradually in recent years and it is encountered in various applications. It has many usage area especially in energy systems. The purpose of this study, in a photovoltaic thermal system, thermal behaviours of a PV panel has been investigated by energy and exergy analysis method using a phase change material inserted 5 per cent weighted Al2O3 nanoparticle. Design/methodology/approach In this study, one of the three different PV panels was kept normally, the other one was filled with a phase changing material (paraffin-wax) and the last panel was filled with the mixture of a nanoparticle and paraffin-wax. Findings After the analyses, especially during the time intervals when the radiation is high, it is found that the panel with Np-paraffin mixture has a high electrical and thermal efficiency. In addition, as a result of the exergy analyses, average exergy efficiency of the panel with Np-paraffin mixture has been determined as 10 per cent, whereas that of the panel with paraffin as 9.2 per cent. Originality/value Nanoparticles had not been used with PCMs in photovoltaic–thermal systems in the studies made before.
