Generating Power through Numerous Interconnection of Solar PV Modules with Incorporation of Thermoelectric Generator and Estimating Energy Rating

Abstract

Numerous studies have been undertaken in various disciplines to harness energy from non-conventional resources in order to reduce the demand for energy in rural, urban, commercial, and industrial settings, with the Thermoelectric Generator system emerging as a promising and successful option. A total of 8 PV modules were combined in two separate stages throughout this analysis to simulate the stability and effectiveness of the composite thermoelectric generator integrated photovoltaic system. The TEG, that is positioned upon this rear surface of the panel PV panel, enables for the better utilization of excess heat for the generation of usable energy. The fluctuating performance of the Photovoltaic modules in the connectivity was inspected for zero, partial and complete shade. The greater proportion of daylight irradiation produces an increase in the temperature of the module surface when TEG is paired with photovoltaic modules, lowering quantum efficiency. When the TEG is paired with solar PV, the misfortune would become a blessing. The incorporation has also been demonstrated to be a beneficial route for obtaining the maximum potential of energy and thermal energy from the panels by taking use of the sun's spectral range, leading to higher productivity. The entire system is designed, evaluated, and examined using the MATLAB/Simulink framework.
