Advances and development trends in solar photovoltaic-thermal technology: a review
摘要
Abstract
The growth of global energy demand and the aggravation of environmental pollution have prompted the rapid development of renewable energy
in which the solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) heat pump system
as a technology integrating photovoltaic power generation and thermal energy conversion
has also ushered in the development and challenges. This paper reviews the relevant literature in detail
and solar PV/T heat pump technology is overviewed from three perspectives. Photovoltaic/thermal collectors are classified into three main types: air-cooled
liquid-cooled
and heat pipe. The advantages and disadvantages of different collectors and applicable scenarios are analyzed. The system energy efficiency
performance enhancement
and optimization strategies of the new coupled system established by PV/T technology and different heat pump technologies are discussed
emphasizing the potential of PV/T heat pump systems in improving the comprehensive energy utilization efficiency
energy saving
and emission reduction. The impact of the outdoor environment and regional applicability on the performance of collector components and systems are analyzed
and the technical
environmental
and market challenges facing the system were identified. Finally
future trends in PV/T heat pump technology are outlined
including technological innovation
cost reduction
and market expansion
as well as their importance in the global energy transition. The results of this study indicate that PV/T heat pump systems play an important role in achieving green and sustainable development; however
further technological breakthroughs and market promotion are still needed.
