Majed Ben Ammar, Maher Chaabene, Mohsen Ben Ammar . State Equation based Dynamic Model of a PV/T Heating Pumping System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 61, 20 ( January 2013), 1-7. DOI=10.5120/10193-4763
This paper presents the dynamic simulation model to characterize water pumping and heating installation using PV/Thermal panel (PV/T) is developed. The model consists of a set of mathematical equations governing the main components of the system; namely: transparent cover, solar cell, absorber plate and operating fluid. The model is based on the analysis of the energy balance which includes the photo electric conversion and the thermal conduction, convection and radiation. The model gathers all components equations so as to reflect the electrical and thermal behavior of the PV/T system. It delivers the state equation of the system function of the climatic parameters and the fluid flow rate. The investigation of the effect of water mass flow rate through the collector on PV/T outputs have been carried out.
