[IEEE 2018 4th International Conference on Renewable Energies for Developing Countries (REDEC) - Beirut, Lebanon (2018.11.1-2018.11.2)] 2018 4th International Conference on Renewable Energies for Developing Countries (REDEC) - The first BIPV plant in Lebanon: performance analysis of hybrid configuration with diesel generator
摘要： Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system is a technology where radiant energy and heat are treated. This system helps in developing the building to become energy producer instead of energy consumer. It can function as buildings envelop and supply electric power for buildings. In this paper, a pilot BIPV system is studied with respect to aesthetical and technical requirements, and installed on the fa?ade of an office building in Beirut. The aim of the research is to test the energy performance of the BIPV system through modelling and experimental investigation in hybrid configuration with building back-up diesel generators – a Lebanese particularity due to utility shortage in power supply. This first BIPV project in Lebanon has a capacity of 30 kWp. It has a special architectural integration benefiting from available solar energy estimated to be around 2000 kWh/m2/ year to produce electric power, and reduces the consumption of diesel generators that runs the building during working hours.

Method to improve performance of building integrated photovoltaic thermal system having optimum tilt and facing directions
摘要： A building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system can be installed at optimum tilt and orientation angle to maximize the electrical output. PV output is negatively correlated with the increase in the PV panel temperature. This paper aims at investigating the influence of water flow over the BIPV roof of a two-storied single-family house on the performance of the proposed optimally tilted semi-transparent BIPV thermal system having different facing directions. The periodic nature of insolation, ambient air temperature, BIPV cell temperature, slab temperature, water flow temperature and room temperature have been considered while solving energy equilibrium differential equations. The insolation values used in the energy equilibrium equations are computed employing periodic HDKR (Hay, Davies, Klucher and Reindl) model, which is based on anisotropic sky concept. Results indicate that the average BIPV cell temperature is reduced annually by approximately 10 °C and efficiency is enhanced by 6% when a water flow rate of 1.1 kg s?1 is provided over the BIPV roof. It is also observed that on the most critical day of the year, the temperature of outlet water is 11.5 °C higher than that of inlet water temperature which resulted in 4 kW extraction of exergy.

Conceptual study of photovoltaic power plant connected to the urban electrical network in northern Algeria
摘要： This present research paper aims at showing the active role of the building equipped with photovoltaic (PV) plant in terms of energy, economy, and ecology and its impact on the development of society. Since the installation of PV plants on buildings is a rarely used technology in Algeria, we intend to conceive 30 kWp medium power plants on pilot administrative buildings, which will be generalized to two other buildings of the same type, connected to urban electricity network so as to reduce the consumption of electricity which costs much money to the local authorities, the pilot site is located in the town of EL-ATTAF, in the northwestern of Algeria. It is Mediterranean climate with average radiation of 5.14 kWh/m2/day and average yearly temperature of 19.4°C. The study highlights the technical and financial feasibility of the system based on a simulation with Homer which estimates a load of 41610kWh/year, energy production of 47872 kWh/year, an optimal angle of inclination of 32°, saving of 454 m3/year of natural gas and avoiding huge quantities of pollutants (CO2: 549 kg/year; SO2: 9.6 g/year; NOx: 0.5 kg/year).

[IEEE 2019 2nd International Conference on Smart Grid and Renewable Energy (SGRE) - Doha, Qatar (2019.11.19-2019.11.21)] 2019 2nd International Conference on Smart Grid and Renewable Energy (SGRE) - Optimal Configuration for Building Integrated Photovoltaics System to Mitigate the Partial Shading on Complex Geometric Roofs
摘要： Middle East region has a high capability of adopting Photovoltaics system due to the massive values of irradiation that this region has. Many new building projects being established in the region with roof spaces that can be utilized to install Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) system. However, due to the contemporary, sophisticated geometric design of the roofs in most of the building projects, the curvature of the rooftop creates a big insolation difference due to the partial shading of these rooftops. This paper illustrates the partial shading on the BIPV modules in one of Qatar’s most recent project (Qatar Rail stations) by collecting data from the regional weather station and simulated data by using Building Information Modeling (BIM) for insolation simulation. The modeling of the BIPV system was done in MATLAB/Simulink. Different system configuration layout scenarios for different BIPV insolation were examined to show the behavior of which I-V and P-V characteristics with the highest insolation BIPV array. it is concluded that the system is preferred to be separated in parallel connection to not limit its current components with the smallest insolation value among all BIPV arrays. The outcomes of the proposed algorithm are believed suggestive facilitating for development of BIPV systems—a new domain combined architecture and solar energy integration.

Analysis of cooling load on commercial building in UAE climate using building integrated photovoltaic fa?§ade system
摘要： In this study the details of energy consumption and its cost were studied and analyzed for a commercial office building in United Arab Emirates (UAE) as hot, dry and humid region where the cooling load is very high. Two different cases were simulated namely (a) base case without photovoltaic (PV) with normal glass windows (b) building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) fa?ade system with transparent PV windows. The building size, space layout, dimensions, shape and orientation for both cases were exactly the same. The PVSYST software was used to determine the best orientation for BIPV fa?ade system installation to minimize the cooling load and maximize the electrical energy production. The amorphous silicon thin film was used for case (b) along with the weather data for the building location in Sharjah, UAE. The cooling load inside the building and its cost were evaluated for both cases. The use of BIPV fa?ade system case in hot, dry and humid region saved the annual electrical consumption for the air conditioning system by 27.69% while it reduced the yearly energy cost by US$ 2084. Such a study would offer data at critical climate conditions necessary for the design and future implementation of this system in the Emirate of Sharjah.

Performance Evaluation and Optimization of a Building-Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal Solar Water Heating System for Exterior Shading: A Case Study in South China
摘要： Building-integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPV/T) systems can produce both electrical and thermal energy through the use of photovoltaic/thermal modules integrated with building envelope. Exterior shading is a common way to improve summer indoor thermal environment of the buildings in low latitudes. This study presents a BIPV/T solar water heating system for exterior shading of residences. In order to evaluate and optimize the system performances, a model was developed to simulate the thermal and electrical production of such system. The simulations for an example system in Guangzhou, a city in South China, were performed to investigate the influences of tank installation height and panel tilt angle on system performances. According to simulation results, the suggested tank installation height is 0.6~0.8 m. The shading coefficient ranges from 0.797 to 0.828 when the tilt angle varies from 14° to 38°. The reduction of panel tilt angle causes a certain improvement of shading performance. The annual auxiliary heat reaches the minimum when the panel tilt angle equals 28°, and the annual electric energy output changes little when the panel tilt angle ranges from 20° to 28°. Comprehensively considering thermal, electrical, and shading performances, the suggested panel tilt angle is 20°~28°. The average thermal and electrical efficiencies are respectively 38.25% and 11.95% when the panel tilt angle ranges from 20° to 28°. The presented system is a promising way to provide hot water, electricity, and exterior shading for residences.

Study on the Energy Saving Potential for Semi-Transparent PV Window in Southwest China
摘要： To study Semi-Transparent photovoltaic (STPV) windows, experiments were conducted to test the energy potential of STPV window installed in buildings. Two identical rooms were built up as experimental units; one was fitted with amorphous silicon (a-silicon) photovoltaic (PV) windows, and another was fitted with a conventional window. The interactional influence was analyzed among air conditioning energy consumption, lighting energy consumption, and energy generation. It can be concluded that STPV windows could provide 0.26 kWh/per day and save 29% on comprehensive building load on a typical sunny day. In order to further investigate, buildings installed with STPV windows in four typical cities with different climate environments in southwest China were simulated and analyzed. The cooling load of the buildings were all decreased while the heating energy consumption and lighting energy consumption were lightly increased. The energy generation of STPV windows was highest in Lhasa at 402.1 kWh/year. The energy saving potential of STPV windows was predicted with good values; 54% in Kunming.

High-resolution, parametric BIPV and electrical systems modeling and design
摘要： The design of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) often involves complex geometries, non-uniform irradiance conditions and partial shading. This can lead to high energy losses if not considered adequately. This paper presents a BIPV modeling and optimization method which uses a parametric 3D modeling tool, coupled to a high-resolution ray-tracing irradiance simulation and an electrical model based on the single diode model on a subcell level. With the use of a genetic algorithm, electrical interconnections of the modules are optimized for maximum yield. The presented approach allows the simulation and optimization of BIPV in urban environments where complex shading occurs and high electrical mismatch of photovoltaic cells and modules is to be expected. It allows specific geometric design and optimization of photovoltaic installations and their electrical layout. The electrical simulation is validated for both flat and curved thin-film CIGS modules, as well as for two connected thin-film CIGS modules under deferring irradiance and partial shading conditions. The presented method is further applied in a case study on a double-curved roof shell. The results show that by using genetic algorithms the layout can be optimized to minimize the string mismatch losses for BIPV networks with a variety of modules. The detailed electrical simulation allows to quantify effects of module designs and inverter concepts on the system performance. This is demonstrated for the case study, indicating that thin-film modules with longitudinal cell direction outperform modules with orthogonal cell direction by up to 8%. Furthermore, module-integrated bypass diodes show little benefits for the best performing module technologies. Post-processing the results allows the evaluation of annual, seasonal, daily and hourly losses on a highly disaggregated level.

Storage systems for building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) and building-integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPVT) installations: Environmental profile and other aspects
摘要： In recent years there has been an increasing interest in Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) and Building-Integrated Photovoltaic/Thermal (BIPVT) systems since they produce clean energy and replace conventional building envelope materials. By taking into account that storage is a key factor in the effective use of renewable energy, the present article is an overview about storage systems which are appropriate for BIPV and BIPVT applications. The literature review shows that there are multiple storage solutions, based on different kinds of materials (batteries, Phase Change Material (PCM) components, etc.). In terms of BIPV and BIPVT with batteries or PCMs or water tanks as storage systems, most of the installations are non-concentrating, fa?ade- or roof-integrated, water- or air-based (in the case of BIPVT) and include silicon-based PV cells, lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries, paraffin- or salt-based PCMs. Regarding parameters that affect the environmental profile of storage systems, in the case of batteries critical factors such as material manufacturing, accidental release of electrolytes, inhalation toxicity, flammable elements, degradation and end-of-life management play a pivotal role. Regarding PCMs, there are some materials that are corrosive and present fire-safety issues as well as high toxicity in terms of human health and ecosystems. Concerning water storage tanks, based on certain studies about tanks with volumes of 300 L and 600 L, their impacts range from 5.9 to 11.7 GJprim and from 0.3 to 1.0 t CO2.eq. Finally, it should be noted that additional storage options such as Trombe walls, pebble beds and nanotechnologies are critically discussed. The contribution of the present article to the existing literature is associated with the fact that it presents a critical review about storage devices in the case of BIPV and BIPVT applications, by placing emphasis on the environmental profile of certain storage materials.

Evaluation of Solar Radiation Transposition Models for Passive Energy Management and Building Integrated Photovoltaics
摘要： Incident solar radiation modelling has become of vital importance not only in architectural design considerations, but also in the estimation of the energy production of photovoltaic systems. This is particularly true in the case of buildings with integrated photovoltaics (PV) systems having a wide range of orientations and inclinations defined by the skin of the building. Since solar radiation data at the plane of interest is hardly ever available, this study presents the analysis of two of the most representative transposition models used to obtain the in-plane irradiance using as input data the global and diffuse irradiation on the horizontal plane, which can be obtained by satellite-based models or ground measurements. Both transposition models are validated with experimental measurements taken in Murcia (southeast of Spain) and datasets provided by the photovoltaic geographical information system (PVGIS) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for vertical surfaces facing the four cardinal points. For the validation, the mean bias deviation, root mean square error and forecasted skill were used as indicators. Results show that the error rate decreases slightly for clear days. Better results are also obtained by dismissing data with low solar elevation angles so as to avoid shadowing effects from the surroundings in the early and late hours of the day, which affects mainly the performance of the transposition models for west and east surfaces. The results highlight the potential of equator-facing fa?ades in winter time when the received irradiation can be twice as much as the one collected by the horizontal plane. It is also noteworthy that the operating conditions of all fa?ades are mainly low irradiance and medium temperature at these locations.
