摘要
In this paper, a thermal model for semitransparent photovoltaic thermal with thermoelectric cooler (PVT-TEC) collector has been derived. The derivation is based on overall energy balance maintained by each component of the semitransparent PVT-TEC collector.The electrical efficiency of the proposed semitransparent PVT-TEC collector has been compared with [case-(i)] semitransparent photovoltaic (PV) collector and [case-(ii)] semitransparent photovoltaic with thermoelectric cooler (PV-TEC) collector. The results illustrate that the electrical efficiency of the proposed semitransparent PVT-TEC collector is higher than semitransparent PV collector [case-(i)] by 7.266% and is higher than semitransparent PV-TEC collector [case-(ii)] by 4.723%. Also, an overall exergy efficiency of the proposed semitransparent PVT-TEC collector is the maximum, when compared with [case-(i)] and [case-(ii)]. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
