Abstract
The aim of this work is model and simulates a CPV/T system to assess the thermal and electrical efficiencies. A concentrating solar power system concentrates the solar irradiation radiation on photovoltaic cells. The photovoltaic cells are placed under a rectangular duct which contains a cooling fluid used to avoid high temperatures in the photovoltaic cells and to recover some of the energy in the form of thermal energy. A simple heat transfer dimensionless model is implemented in the software MatLab to study the CPV/T system for different operating conditions and different cooling fluids, air, and water. The simulation process allows to define the best configuration of the system and to evaluate its efficiency.
