Exergy and energy analysis on the performance of high thermal conductivity material in PV/T system: An experimental approach

The energy loss of any system might be affects the performance. This paper focuses on the investigation of 10E: Exergy, Energy, Environmental, Economic, Exergo-Enviro-Economic, Energo-Economic, Energo-Enviro, Exergo Economic, Enviro-Economic and Exergo-Environmental analysis. The energy loss of PV/T can be mitigated by incorporating with the mixture of Aluminium, Copper and Iron as high thermal conductivity material. Energy output per-year for the developed PV is 0.9960 kW-hour. The energy output per-year for the developed solar still is 117.913 kW-hour. The Capacity Utilisation Factor for the developed system increased from 2.77 percent to 2.91 percent compared to the conventional. The Levelized Cost of Electricity for the Conventional-Solar-Still is deemed to be 3.39 $ whereas for the developed work it is 3.46 $. The output exergy per-year for the developed PV system is 140.08 kW-hour and in developed solar-still, it is 12.798 kW-hour. Gross Carbon Reduction is observed as 94 tCO2. 2 . The Carbon-Payback-Period for the developed system is 34.72 years. The estimated cost per litre of the developed work is 0.018$, 0.016$ and 0.015$ for considering the period of 15 years, 20 years and 30 years. Overall, the 10E framework of developed PV/T system provides the significant performance.
