Hence, the model is suitable for dynamic simulation studies and is proposed as standardized performance model for PVT collectors. To sum up, the presented PVT performance model and the proposed parameter identification procedure achieve a good agreement of simulated and measured thermal and electrical power output for the analyzed PVT collector types and operating conditions.

It is shown that a combined identification of thermal and electrical model parameters with determination of all thermal and electrical model parameters is the most suitable approach regarding accuracy and processing effort. Furthermore, the parameter identification procedure is described in detail and different approaches are compared. This modeling approach has also proven to be the recommended modeling approach for the investigated PVT collectors in this work. The two-node approach with one thermal capacity represents an extension of the quasi-dynamic solar thermal collector model with the added functionality of the electrical performance.

This contribution presents a novel PVT performance model, compares different parameter identification approaches, and validates the model and its implementation in a common simulation software (TRNSYS) for system simulations.įor the thermal performance model, a two-node model with either one or two thermal capacities is compared. The development of validated and standardized PVT collector models is important for the comparison of products, informed decision making based on energetic and economic performance, and to promote the market diffusion of PVT technology. A complete solution to this issue can be reached by implementing in TRNSYS a wall model using a finite-difference method and coupling it with the CTF method in Type 56 (chapter 5).

The model was validated with data obtained from experiments with thermally activated panels. The annual solar fraction obtained was 69 and the system cover the hot water needs during the cold months with SDWH system to make a pipe-freeze model 13. The model was developed in MATLAB and subsequently implemented as a TRNSYS type. Predefined templates and outputs allow quick start simulations and a fast evaluation of simulation results. In 2002 Jim Salasovich et.al Performance is simulated by TRNSYS with the weather data of TMY used TRNSYS and weather data for 30 years in the USA for file for Baghdad, Iraq.

The parametric architecture and open source Grasshopper components enable TRNSYS 18 users to conduct detailed design studies during the planning phase and respectively individualize the model. It enables thermal and daylight building simulation with TRNSYS 18 using a variety of artificial lighting, ventilation, heating and cooling concepts based on detailed 3D geometry.
