Abstract

The photovoltaic as a solar power plant is increasingly widespread as renewable energy. However, high photovoltaic surface temperatures can reduce performance in generating electricity. Based on these problems, a photovoltaic cooling system is needed. This research aims to produce effective photovoltaic cooling by planting pipes that carry cold fluid embedded in Phase Change Material. The experimental research used solar simulator, there are three variations of pipe configuration, including: parallel, serpentine, and circular. The photovoltaic used in this research has a specification of 50WP. This study examines the effect of various cooling pipe configurations on thermal performance, output power, and the reduction of photovoltaic temperature. The results show the serpentine pipe configuration exhibits the highest thermal efficiency initially but declines drastically over time, while the circular pipe design demonstrates the best long-term stability and efficiency. Specifically, the circular pipe variation effectively reduces the photovoltaic surface temperature, maintaining the lowest temperature of around 42°C at the 80th minute, compared to higher peak temperatures in the unmodified variation 67°C, serpentine 50°C, and parallel 45°C. Overall, the circular pipe design is identified as the most effective cooling method for maintaining low surface temperatures and ensuring stable performance in photovoltaic panels.

Abstract

Climate change causes the air conditions inside buildings to increase in temperature. This causes the demand for cooling processes to increase every year. The use of cooling equipment currently requires quite a lot of electricity costs and produces CO2 emissions. The experimental study of the effect of cooling pad surface shape on passive cooling performance to produce a cooling device that is economical and environmentally friendly. The variations of the cooling pad surface were sinusoidal wave and triangular wave. The method was experiments carried out in the laboratory to control environmental conditions. The test results showed that the sinusoidal wave variation had a temperature drop of 1.1 °C lower than the triangular wave. The sinusoidal wave variation has 5% lower relative air humidity than triangular wave variation but air humidity for both variations had increased. Meanwhile, the use of silica sand could not reduce air humidity, it was because of the sum of sand that was used.
