Concept and Virtual Prototyping of Cooling Module for Photovoltaic System

A concept for cooling module for photovoltaic system is in the focus in this study. It is based on water cooling, combined with Ground-Coupled heat exchanger. Proposed concept is developed at design level and virtual prototyping is used to increase water cooling module efficiency. The target is to explore design possibilities to reach optimal thermal parameters and thus - optimal work conditions for PV system. The results from virtual prototyping are used to select design variant for further development.
