CFD study on the factors influencing the performance of PV-integrated double-skin facade channel

摘要

Several factors influencing the performance of PV-integrated double-skin facade were analyzed. We used CFD numerical method to investigate the influence of width, height, outlet size and the angle of photovoltaic plate on the performance of PV channel based on the summer typical meteorological parameter. The PV-integrated double-skin facade were installed at east orientation in Shanghai. The recommended value of height and other factors were obtained. Height and the angle of photovoltaic plate were two most important factors which should be considered specially in the design of PV-integrated double-skin facade.
