.IDEAS.Fluid.PVTCollectors.PVTQuasiDynamicCollector

Information

This component models a photovoltaic–thermal (PVT) collector by coupling the ISO 9806 quasi-dynamic thermal method with an internal electrical model. The model uses only datasheet parameters (no measured calibration data) and has been validated experimentally for unglazed PVT collectors (with and without rear insulation) under a wide range of weather conditions.

The main equations used in this model can be found in the following submodels, as described in the IDEAS.Fluid.PVTCollectors.UsersGuide.

• Electrical generation: see IDEAS.Fluid.PVTCollectors.BaseClasses.ElectricalPVT
• Quasi-dynamic thermal losses: see IDEAS.Fluid.PVTCollectors.BaseClasses.ISO9806QuasiDynamicHeatLoss
• Solar (thermal) heat gain: see IDEAS.Fluid.SolarCollectors.BaseClasses.EN12975SolarGain

Implementation Notes

This model supports PVT collectors, discretized into segments to capture temperature gradients. It is compatible with dynamic simulations where irradiance and fluid temperatures vary over time.
