Abstract: Photovoltaic thermal hybrid system has a device that can provide the electrical power and hot water at the same time. The simulation model of photovoltaic thermal hybrid system has been created using TRNSYS tool in this paper. The simulation model can provide the transient and long term evaluation to predict the system performance in different weather conditions. The performance of 1.44 kW Photovoltaic thermal hybrid systems has been evaluated in different locations in Taiwan. The results shown the system electrical efficiency was 11.7~12.4% and thermal efficiency was 26.78~28.41%.
Keywords: Photovoltaic thermal, TRNSYS, simulation
