Analysis of the transient thermal behaviour of a solar honeycomb (SHC) facade element with and without integrated PV cells

摘要

The transient thermal behaviour of a ventilated solar honeycomb (SHC) facade element was investigated with the help of numerical simulations. Therefore two three-dimensional CFD models were used to consider a SHC facade element with and without attached PV cells at the exterior glass pane. Beside a natural convective flow model also a radiation model with two wavebands was implemented to enable the differentiation between short-wave solar radiation and long-wave thermal radiation.
