Abstract:

To explore the performance of photovoltaic/thermal(PV/T) systems coupled with air source heat pumps in certain regions, the daily electricity generation, daily power consumption, heating effect and total investment of a coupling system during heating season were analysed by experiments and numerical model analyses. Firstly, the simulation model was established by Trnsys, and the simulation results were compared with the experimental results. Secondly, the angle of PV/T modules, the area of PV/T modules, the heating capacity of the air source heat pump,hot water tank temperature, and the capacity of batteries were optimized by non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm(NSGA-II).Taking the highest electricity generation of the PV system, the lowest power consumption of the heating system and the minimal initial investment of the coupling system as objectives, the performance of the coupling system was improved by the multi-objective optimization carried out in JEplus software. Finally, the configuration scheme after the optimization shows a 117.40% increase in the electricity generation of the PV system and a 38.76% decrease in the power consumption of the coupling system, with only additional 9 700 yuan in its initial investment.
