Introduction Solar thermal power plants can guarantee supply security by integration of thermal energy storages and/ or by using a solar fossil hybrid operation strategy. Only few technologies among the renewables offer this base- load ability. Therefore it is predicted that they will have a significant market share of the future energy sector.
For each hour of a year the performance of the plant was calculated, for the hourly values of the solar irradiation (DNI), the actual weather conditions (temperature, pressure) as well as the solar position angles according to the geographic location of the site and the time in the year.
A solar technology that has received a lot of attention in recent years is hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PVT) systems. The PVT technologies combine the functions of a conventional photovoltaic (PV) system and a solar thermal system into one module making them more efficient than the conventional systems.
Although degeneration will affect energy output from the solar modules with advancing years , the initial battery and inverter sizing based on DC outputs from the modules in the first year shall be used throughout the study. Both PV and PVT modules are assumed to exhibit the same percentage of yearly degradation (dg).
In the case of the PVT system, the electrical and thermal exergies to load for the period of the study are respectively, 4.08 MWh and 6.81 MWh, making a total exergy of 10.89 MWh (330.15 kWh/m 2 /annum), representing 82.35% of total exergy from PVT module.
A common way to improve the electrical efficiency of PVs is through cooling of the modules . A hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) basically combines the functions of a solar thermal collector and those of PV in one unit and thus makes it possible for the excess heat to be extracted .
According to the different power generation principles, Solar-thermal power generation includes concentrated Solar-thermal power generation, solar semiconductor temperature difference power generation, solar chimney power generation, solar pool power generation and solar thermal acoustic power generation.
