This study presents full transient, three-dimensional numerical models of a PV-TEG hybrid module coupled with single-phase inverter by co-simulation. The influence of factors, such as wind speed, solar radiation intensity, or ambient temperature on the PV-TEG system, was also examined. The numerical model was implemented using Ansys software which accounted the phenomena of Thomson, Seebeck, and Joule's heat place on the TEG system. Furthermore, its impact on total electrical efficiency was studied. The heat transfer surface of the passive heat sink and forced air circulation positively affected the total heat transfer, and therefore helped to maintain the electrical efficiency at a higher level. Simulation of the single-phase inverter with a PV-TEG system allows the determination of the power characteristics of the system in real time. The results of the study presented may provide a basis for performance optimization of a practical PV-TEG-inverter hybrid system co-design.
本研究通过联合仿真展示了一个与单相逆变器耦合的光伏 - 热电器件混合模块的完整瞬态三维数值模型。还研究了风速、太阳辐射强度或环境温度等因素对光伏 - 热电器件系统的影响。该数值模型是使用Ansys软件实现的，该软件考虑了热电器件系统上的汤姆逊热、塞贝克热和焦耳热现象。此外，还研究了其对总电效率的影响。被动散热器的传热表面和强制空气循环对总传热有积极影响，因此有助于将电效率维持在较高水平。对带有光伏 - 热电器件系统的单相逆变器进行仿真，可以实时确定系统的功率特性。所呈现的研究结果可为实际的光伏 - 热电器件 - 逆变器混合系统协同设计的性能优化提供依据。
