Application of Artificial Intelligence to Improve the Thermal Energy and Exergy of Nanofluid-Based PV Thermal/Nano-Enhanced Phase Change Material
February 24, 2023
Photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) technologies have demonstrated several attractive features, such as higher power and comparative efficiencies. Improving the thermal recovery from the PVT system would further improve the power output and the efficiency of the PVT system. This paper identifies the best operating factors of nanofluid-based PV thermal/nano-enhanced phase change material using artificial intelligence. The target is the maximization of thermal energy and exergy outputs. The suggested approach combines ANFIS modelling and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Four operating factors are taken into consideration: PCM (phase change material) layer thickness, HTF (heat transfer fluid) mass flow rate, MFNPCM (“mass fraction of nanoparticles in PCM”) and MFNfluid (“mass fraction of nanoparticles in nanofluid”). Using a dataset, an “adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system” (ANFIS) model has been established for simulating the thermal energy and exergy outputs in terms of the mentioned operating factors. Then, using PSO, the best values of PCM thickness, mass flow rate, MFNPCM and MFNfluid are estimated. The proposed model’s accuracy was examined by comparing the results with those obtained by response surface methodology and the experimental dataset.
