A Review of Heat Batteries Based PV Module Cooling-Case Studies on Performance Enhancement of Large-Scale Solar PV System

Karthikeyan Velmurugan et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been significant research on cooling PV module temperature using phase change materials (PCM) to improve the electrical output power and efficiency of the system. This review study categorizes PCM-based cooling techniques into three major techniques: direct incorporation of PCM behind the PV module, adding thermal additives to enhance heat transfer, and using thermal collectors to minimize PCM usage. These techniques have the advantage of utilizing waste heat from the PV module. The study also discusses the thermophysical properties of PCM, particularly focusing on the melting temperature and thermal conductivity as the main concerns in cooling the PV module.
