Abstract A modular Hybrid Photovoltaic/Solar Thermal (HyPV/T) Facade technology that utilizes Integrated Collector Storage (ICS) solar technology, providing cost effective solar PV and thermal energy collection for direct use in the building, whilst providing significant thermal insulation has been developed and evaluated experimentally at Ulster University. The HyPV/T system, based upon a patented ICS solar thermal diode concept and shaped into a flat modular profile incorporating PV cells/module can provide space heating, domestic water heating and power generation. The complete system is designed to be compatible with traditional facade structures and fenestration framing arrangements, facilitating direct integration into new and retrofit building applications. The experimental performance of HyPV/T unit has been determined and compared with a flat Integrated Collector Storage Solar Water Heater (ICSSWH) under constant indoor solar simulated conditions. The daily thermal collection efficiencies for the ‘traditional’ flat ICSSWH units performed better than the unglazed HyPV/T, by 5–10%. However, when the additional electrical power produced by the HyPV/T is included, the overall system collection efficiencies are more equal. The heat retention performance shows that's the unglazed (bare) ICS unit had a retention efficiency of 8.3% whilst the ICS unit with a single transparent cover was 23.6% and double glazed unit was 28%. The HyPV/T heat retention efficiencies were approximately 65% over the same cool-down period.

混合光伏/太阳能热立面模块与平面集成集热器存储太阳能热水器模块相比的实验性能表征

摘要 一种模块化混合光伏/太阳能热 (HyPV/T) 幕墙技术利用集成集热器存储 (ICS) 太阳能技术，提供具有成本效益的太阳能光伏和热能收集以直接用于建筑物，同时提供显着的隔热效果。并在阿尔斯特大学进行了实验评估。HyPV/T 系统基于获得专利的 ICS 太阳能热二极管概念，并被塑造成包含光伏电池/模块的扁平模块化轮廓，可提供空间供暖、生活用水供暖和发电。整个系统旨在与传统的立面结构和开窗框架布置兼容，便于直接集成到新的和改造的建筑应用中。HyPV/T 单元的实验性能已经确定，并在恒定的室内太阳能模拟条件下与平面集成集热器存储太阳能热水器 (ICSSWH) 进行比较。“传统”扁平 ICSSWH 装置的日热收集效率比无釉 HyPV/T 好 5-10%。然而，当包括 HyPV/T 产生的额外电力时，整个系统的收集效率更加平等。保温性能表明，未上釉（裸露）的 ICS 单元的保温效率为 8.3%，而带有单个透明盖的 ICS 单元为 23.6%，双层玻璃单元为 28%。在相同的冷却时间内，HyPV/T 的保温效率约为 65%。
