Heliostat field-integrated PVT system supported by organic PCM

Scientists have used stearic acid and a combination of stearic acid and carbon black to increase thermal conductivity in a photovoltaic-thermal system linked to a heliostat field concentrator. From a temperature of 30 C at the inlet, they were able to heat the water to up to 59 C. Researchers from Bangladesh's Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology have constructed and tested a heliostat field-integrated photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) system supported by two different organic phase change materials (PCMs) to enhance its thermal conductivity. PCMs are able to absorb, store and release large ...
