Abstract - Current research trend is going on the hybrid systems to enhance the amount of power generation from a single source. The same idea is implemented in the Photo- voltaic/Thermal (PV/T) systems, where the light energy utilized by the PV system to convert it into electrical energy while the heat energy is the source for all the PV/T system configurations. So a simple analysis to predict the module temperature for dif- ferent climatic conditions is required. The module temperature depends on the climatic conditions such as solar irradiation, ambient temperature and wind velocity. These pa- rameters continuously vary non-linearly with respect to time. In this work, used the real time climatic data measured at Nagpur location for the duration of 15 days and proposes a novel approach to find the module temperature by using the Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Interface System (ANFIS) tool in MATLAB/SIMULINK.
This work majorly concentrates on the Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) integrated with the PV systems and is referred as the PV-TEG. First the simulation for the indi- vidual systems of commercially available PV and TEG systems are made and they are combined to make PV-TEG configuration. This approach is helpful for the commer- cialization of the PV-TEG configuration in effective way. The individual and combined performance of PV-TEG is analyzed with the overall efficiency of the system. The over- all efficiency of PV system is increased by integrating the TEG is 6% at Standard Test Conditions (STC).
