The development of cleaner and renewable energy sources are necessary so that fossil fuel dependency and global warming can be reduced. Present communication is an attempt to explore the available literature on Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) air collectors and PVT air collector integrated greenhouse drying system. Solar drying is one of the best method to preserve crops for a long time. In developing and under developed countries; per capita electricity production is low; therefore the electricity uses for heating purpose cannot be economically and environmentally justified option. In previous studies, it was found that forced drying is better in terms of controlling drying parameters and PVT air collector is better than standalone PV module in terms of energy storage. In present review paper, combination of PVT air collector and drying system has been discussed. Moreover, thermal modelling of PVT air collector integrated greenhouse drying system has been presented in detail. Average thermal efficiency, electrical efficiency and overall thermal efficiency for PVT air collector are found to be 26.68%, 11.26% and 56.30% respectively at 0.01 kg/s mass flow rate of air. This review paper may be very helpful for researchers and scientists to develop thermal models for different hybrid solar systems.

Performance analysis and environmental feasibility of bifacial photovoltaic thermal dryer with heat storage

Ravin Sehrawat, Ravinder Kumar Sahdev, Sumit Tiwari, Suresh Kumar

Summary: In the midst of Covid19, dehydrated commodities emerged as the most sustainable option due to their long shelf life and availability. The stored product market experienced rapid growth, leading to the belief that dehydrated circular economy is the future of food supply and demand. Among various drying techniques, the greenhouse dryer (GD) was found to be the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly. However, challenges such as limited operating hours, sustainability issues, heat loss, and the inability to operate after sunset were encountered. To address these concerns, this study implemented a bifacial photovoltaic thermal system, a phase change material, and an insulation solution. The modified GD exhibited a thermal efficiency ranging from 26% to 54%, with an electrical efficiency of 20.1%. The integration of a thermal energy storage system allowed the GD to operate even after sunset and extend its operating hours. Furthermore, the designed system achieved self-sustainability and reduced CO2 emissions by 3136 kg over its lifespan. The inclusion of a PCM-integrated BIFPVT greenhouse dryer is recommended for cleaner production.

Heat storage material: a hope in solar thermal

Ravin Sehrawat, Ravinder Kumar Sahdev, Sumit Tiwari

Summary: This study explores the uncertainty in the demand and supply of solar energy due to different geographical regions and proposes the utilization of various thermal energy storage systems to overcome this issue. Phase change materials (PCMs) are preferred for their high-energy storage density, although their low thermal conductivity is a challenge. To address this, metallic foam, carbon fiber, and metallic fins are integrated into the PCM container. The inclusion of metallic foam, limited to 0.1-3% of the PCM weight, slightly impacts thermal conductivity but increases costs. Additionally, adding carbon at 0.1-9% of the PCM weight improves PCM performance. The inclusion of metallic fins enhances thermal conductivity, with different shapes and sizes. Studies indicate that metallic foam composites outperform carbon composites and metallic fins.
