An Overview Ofpvt Module for the Extraction of Electricity and Heat FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Department of Building Engineering, Energy Systems and Sustainability Science An Overview of PVT Module for the Extraction of Electricity and Heat Nayef Zeid August 20, 2020 Student thesis, Advanced level (Master degree, one year), 15 HE Energy Systems Master Programme in Energy Engineering, Energy Online Supervisor: Prof. Björn Karlsson & Dr. Diogo Cabral Examiner: Alan Kabanshi Abstract The study sets out to review various literatures concerning photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) modules for the extraction of electricity and heat, it also reviews different PVT collectors as well as their performance. The study provides an understanding of a system that fully supports ecological society by promoting the use of solar modules from a different scope in future global resolutions. Furthermore, it looks into renewable energy in Sweden, solar energy and PVT systems, operational principles of hybrid PVT collectors, PVT applications, PVT market and legal face of PVT in Sweden among others. Among other social benefits, PVT system contributes enormously to energy savings and energy consumption which in turn lowers CO2 emissions. The review shows that PVT modules can provide homes and industries with 100% renewable electricity and heat that is affordable. This paper adopts systematic literature review, as it allows thorough cross- examination of various publications regarding the subject.

Introduction An energy system is basically designed to deliver energy and energy-related services to the consumers or the end-users [1]. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report defines an energy system as "all components related to the production, conversion, delivery, and use of energy" [2]. Energy has become an integral part of human beings, using it in all their activities at any time of the day. Energy systems are often very complex and require the development and management of knowledge derived from scientific fields. While it is easy to use the energy available in our homes but generating that energy and bringing it to our homes is a great task. Energy sources are not naturally consumable, they are required to be transformed to an easier and more effective form suitable to the end-users. Those energy sources that are produced by human beings are known as secondary sources and are the most popular since they are used on daily basis. The transformation of primary energy sources to secondary energy sources need to be carried out in conditions that are conducive for both human beings and the environment [3]. Figure 1: Generic energy system supplying fuels and electricity [4]. According to [5], the level of energy consumption in Sweden per capita is around 13,120.12 kWh, which is much higher than the Europa average of around 5,518.12 kWh. Sweden can offer 1 fully independent power. The total production of all power plants is 153bn kWh, which is 115% of energy used by the country. Nevertheless, Sweden continues to exchange with foreign countries [5]. Figure 2: CO2 emission in Sweden [6]. Some countries use more energy per capita than Sweden, but Swedish carbon emissions are lower than others because Eighty percent of Sweden's electricity generation comes from nuclear and hydroelectric sources. As per world bank report, regular American emits 4 times the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) from Sweden [7]. Renewable energy can be obtained from primary sources such as water, wind or sun or another source that is naturally recycled. Renewable energies in Sweden continues to grow. As early as 2012, Sweden achieved the government aim of 50 percent for 2020. In the electricity sector, the goal is 100% electricity generation from renewable sources by 2040 [7]. The country has ample reserves of running water and biomass that contribute to the country's renewable energies to a large extent. Hydropower (water) and bioenergy are

When used in a thermophovoltaic energy conversion system, they become key elements defining both its overall system efficiency and output power. Selective emitters' radiation spectra must be designed to match their accompanying photocell's band gap and, simultaneously, withstand high temperatures (above 1000 K) for long operation times. The advent of nanophotonics has allowed the engineering of very selective emitters and absorbers; however, thermal stability remains a challenge since 1 of 22 nanostructures become unstable at temperatures much below the melting point of the used materials. In this paper we explore an hybrid 3D dielectric-metallic structure that combines the higher thermal stability of a monocrystalline 3D Silicon scaffold with the optical properties of a thin Platinum film conformally deposited on top.

Gluba, Steve Albrecht, Jörg Rappich, Lars Korte, Bernd Rech, and 4 Norbert H. Nickel 5 Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie GmbH, Institut für Silizium 6 Photovoltaik, Kekuléstr. 5, 12489 Berlin, Germany. 7 8 ABSTRACT: Perovskite solar cells with transparent contacts may be used to compensate 9 thermalization losses of silicon solar cells in tandem devices. This offers a way to outreach 10 stagnating efficiencies. However, perovskite top cells in tandem structures require contact layers 11 with high electrical conductivity and optimal transparency. We address this challenge by 12 implementing large area graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition as highly transparent 13 electrode in perovskite solar cells leading to identical charge collection efficiencies. Electrical 14 performance of solar cells with a graphene-based contact reached those of solar cells with 15 standard gold contacts. The optical transmission by far exceeds that of reference devices and 16 amounts to 64.3 % below the perovskite band gap. Finally, we demonstrate a four terminal 17 tandem device combining a high band gap graphene-contacted perovskite top solar cell 18 (Eg=1.6 eV) with an amorphous/crystalline silicon bottom solar cell (Eg=1.12 eV). 19 1 1 TOC GRAPHIC. 2 3 4 Hybrid perovskite methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) attracts ever-growing interest 5 for use as a photovoltaic absorber.1 Only recently, Jeon et al.

It has been confirmed that, SiNWs were formed uniformly on p-type silicon substrate by electroless deposition of Cu and Ag nanoparticles followed by wet chemical etching in (Hydrogen Fluoride) HF based Fe(NO3)3 solution. Synthesized SiNW structures were analyzed and investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-VIS) spectrophotometer. Formation of SiNWs is evident from the SEM images and morphology of the structures depends upon the concentration of chemical solution and etching time. The synthesized SiNWs have shown strong broadband optical absorption exhibited from UV- spectroscopy. More than 82% absorption of incident radiation is found for Cu treated samples and a maximum of 83% absorption of incident radiation is measured for Ag synthesized samples which is considerably enhanced than that of silicon substrate as they absorbed maximum of 43% of incoming radiation only.
