Development and Parametric Optimization of two CPVT based Multi- Generation Energy Systems using Energy Concept

This research presents two layouts of multi-generation systems comprising of concentrating photovoltaic thermal (CPVT) and PEM electrolyzer to produce four useful output, manly power, heating load, H2 and O2 for domestic application. The proposed systems are investigated using thermodynamic concept. Parametric optimization is conducted to evaluate and compare the performances of the systems by varying the design parameters. At the end, the best layout from the energy aspect is identified.
