摘要
This paper presents an overview on the performance improvement of trough concentrating photovoltaic thermal system by optimizing different components and operating parameters of the system and has been put forwarded. Initially, the performance of four types of solar cell arrays was studied, in that triple junction GaAs cells possessed good performance characteristics. Subsequently the importance of increasing the concentrator reflectivity for improving the performance of TCPV/T system is presented by increasing the mirror reflectivity from 0.69 to 0.92 and consequently the maximum power of the cell array got increased. Then, the role of receiver shape like rectangle and triangle for the maximum utilization of solar radiation is also presented. (C) 2019 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
