Exergy Analysis of a Solar-Hydrogen Hybrid Energy System

In this study, exergy analysis of a photovoltaic-hydrogen production system established at the Clean Energy Center(CEC) in Denizli Turkey has been investigated Exergy analysts for photovoltaic systems is necessary for studying the PV performance and possible improvements The exergy efficiency comparison of the fixed tilt (45 degrees south) and mounted on solar trackers photovoltaic modules is calculated here by the experimental datas taken from the system located in the CEC in Denizli Turkey at 37 degrees 46' North latitude and 29 degrees 05' East longitude The experiments were carried out from 08 00 am to 18 00 pm on July 13, 2010 It is seen that exergy efficiency of the fixed tilt PV module vary between 9,3% and 11 2% while the exergy efficiency of the mounted on solar tracker PV module vary between 9 7% and 11,9% Copyright (C) 2010 Praise Worthy Prize S r l - All rights reserved
