Solar photovoltaics is one of the most promising renewable energy technologies, producing electricity on site directly from solar radiation without harming the environment or depletion of materials. The Building Integrated Photovoltaic Thermal (BIPVT) system is a technology which merges PV and thermal systems simultaneously providing both electric and thermal energy. Through this combination more energy is generated per unit surface area in comparison to the standalone photovoltaics system. Benefits of the BIPVT system include: significantly increased electrical performance, faster payback…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Solar photovoltaics is one of the most promising renewable energy technologies, producing electricity on site directly from solar radiation without harming the environment or depletion of materials. The Building Integrated Photovoltaic Thermal (BIPVT) system is a technology which merges PV and thermal systems simultaneously providing both electric and thermal energy. Through this combination more energy is generated per unit surface area in comparison to the standalone photovoltaics system. Benefits of the BIPVT system include: significantly increased electrical performance, faster payback than traditional systems, negligible impact on the environment, the product is easier and less expensive to install and low maintenance is required. This book describes recent developments in PV technologies, the solar radiation available on the earth, various BIPVT systems and their applications, energy and exergy analysis, carbondioxide migration and credit earned, life cycle cost analysis and life cycle conversion efficiency. Presently there is no one single book that covers all basic and advanced concepts related to the implementation of solar energy for the passive heating and cooling of buildings. In addition to basic and advanced concepts, the book includes modelling and analysis and ongoing research in the area of BIPVT. Building Integrated Photovoltaic Thermal Systems will be essential reading for students, scientists and engineers involved in energy studies, architecture and building design.
Autorenporträt
Professor Gopal Nath Tiwari has been at the Centre for Energy Studies, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India since 1977. He gained postgraduate and doctoral degrees from Banaras Hindu University. His research interests in the field of Solar Thermal Applications are solar distillation, water/air heating system, greenhouse technology for agriculture as well as for aquaculture, Earth to air heat exchanger, passive building design and hybrid photovoltaic thermal (HPVT) systems, climate change, energy security, etc. He has successfully co-coordinated various research projects in these areas funded by the Government of India in the recent past. His contribution to the successful implementation of the hot water system in the IIT campus was highly appreciated and he was responsible for the development of the "Solar Energy Park" at IIT Delhi and Energy Laboratory at the University of Papua, New Guinea, Port Moresby. He has published over 400 research papers in prestigious journals and has authored eighteen books associated with reputable publishers namely Pergamon Press UK, CRC Press USA, Narosa Publishing House etc. As an expert in renewable energy, he has attended invited talks worldwide, chaired international conferences and presented research papers. Professor Tiwari is a co-recipient of the 'Hariom Ashram Prerit S.S. Bhatnagar' Award and has been recognized both at national and international levels. He has been offered the post of Associate Editor for the Solar Energy Journal in the area of Solar Distillation and he has also been Editor of the International Journal of Agricultural Engineering. He organized SOLARIS 2007, the third international conference on "Solar Radiation and Day lighting" held at IIT Delhi, India in 2007 and recently, Professor Tiwari has been conferred "Vigyan Ratna" by the Government of U.P., India.
