Abstract

Based on energy balance equation for photo-voltaic thermal compound parabolic concentrator (PVT-CPC) integrated bio-gas plant, an analytical expression for slurry, absorber plate and solar cell temperature has been derived in terms of design and climatic parameters. Effect of number of PVT-CPC collectors, packing factor, mass flow rate, etc. on optimum slurry temperature for Indian climatic condition has been studied. Further, the thermal and electrical analysis of proposed system has also been carried out. Based on numerical computation for cold climatic condition of Srinagar, India, and for given mass flow rate in collector loop, the slurry temperature increases significantly with increasing in number of collectors as expected. Packing factor of photo-voltaic thermal (PVT) system plays an important role in optimization of thermal and electrical power output for efficient operation of biogas plant.
