摘要
This paper deals with the experimental studies and performance analysis of partially covered hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PVT) flat plate collector (FPC) solar still. The thermal model of the system has been developed. The data have been collected for the composite climate condition of New Delhi. The experimental results have been compared with theoretical results. It has been observed that there is a fair agreement between the experimental and theoretical values with the correlation coefficients varying between 0.97 and 0.99. The coefficient of determination varies between 0.94 and 0.98. The annual productivity has been found to vary between 120.29% and 883.55%. The thermal, exergy and overall thermal efficiency have been evaluated. It has also been observed that the proposed system is self sustainable and it can meet potable water requirement as well as electricity requirement. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
