研究目的

The paper objectifies upon intrinsic perspective of solar PV modules, which is cursed for being lower quantum efficient. Although the sunlight is converted into electricity directly, most of the part is lost as heat. Using this significantly lost heat through thermoelectric generator, the power can be reproduced (converting heat into electricity) that has proved the solar PV system being an efficient one.

研究成果

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are integrated with solar PV system in order to process the lost heat by thermoelectric effect. The conversions of light energy into electricity by photoelectric effect and lost heat into electricity by the thermoelectric effect. Hence, this technique is implemented on conventional microgrid, which is classified such as solar PV‐WES and solar PV‐FCT. The proposed system is studied on several constraints like active power, reactive power, and solar power. The entire system is modeled, studied, analyzed, and validated using MATLAB/Simulink environment. The combined PV‐TEG has shown greater impact on traditional microgrid giving rise to higher active power delivery to the system and lower reactive power absorbance.

研究不足

The work can be extended to experimental verification with the theoretical determined results, and thereafter, the conventional system can be integrated with the TEGs for significant extraction of power from the solar PV array.
