Abstract

Transient performance of a concentrated photovoltaic thermoelectric (CPV-TEG) hybrid system is modeled and investigated. A heat sink with water, as the working fluid has been implemented as the cold reservoir of the hybrid system to harvest the heat loss from CPV cell and to increase the efficiency and performance of the hybrid module. This investigation is carried out by using a numerical simulation approach with MATLAB software. The governing equations for CPV-TEG hybrid system in transient state is derived and discretized. The results are consisting of the variation of the temperatures, power generation and efficiency of the CPV and TEG with the time in the transient condition.
