Details
Executive Summary : | In the proposed work, the CPL system for solar PV panel has attached on the rear side, as a passive cooling technique. The CPL system evaporator tube shape has been changed to square and rectangular tubes to increase surface contact area between panel and tubes to reduce the thermal degradation of the solar PV panel. Additionally, the wick size (for example, 40 microns) and length will be changed in order to improve capillary action with various working fluids. Number of evaporator tubes will be added for better cooling of PV panel and changing the orientations of the panel based on the maximum power point sun tracking system with servo motor system. For more precision, the Data logger using various sensors with IoT will be incorporated to monitor the input parameters rather of manual work. Finally Optimization of output parameter will be determined. |
