We all know that photovoltaic glass will generate part of the electricity when it absorbs solar radiation, but how to remove this part of the electricity when calculating? If not removed, it may be added to the indoor load as absorbed heat, which may lead to inaccurate simulation results. So I’m looking for some methods in the paper. When i see a paper that DOI: 10.1002/pip.2727, i find out he built photovoltaic glass by a method:
The “integrated surface outside face” mode was used in this study, where the solar cell temperature refers to the outside surface temperature of the PV module. When calculating the heat-transfer and temperature distribution, the energy generated by the PV module was removed from the heat transfer balance equations.
But I don’t know how to use “integrated surface outside face” mode and remove the energy generated by the PV. can you help me @chris .
this paper,The method I’m using now is to export its idf file from HB and put it into energyplus to set up the Generator; Integrated Photovoltaic, then I is to use heattransferintergrationmode Settings. Because according to the energyplus reference, he told me that if you want to couple thermoelectric models you need to set up integrated. However, when I set up this post-simulation, he told me that internal heat source should be added to the surface, but the window is not allowed to add source/sink in enrgyplus. So now I’m totally freaking out about this, so I was wondering if you have any other ways to decouple the thermoelectric model of the window.
