Abstract
Installing photovoltaic (PV) systems in dense urban buildings with limited space cannot produce enough electricity to meet the building's needs and have low efficiency due to the shading effect of neighboring buildings and high ambient temperature. Developing a suitable PV installation scheme for the buildings poses a challenge for designing PV installations to increase electricity generation and promote renewable energy utilization. This paper develops a new hybrid building applied photovoltaic (BAPV) and building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) design methodology to offer flexibility in increased installation space and enhanced PV performance. The optimal PV installation is determined based on the performance parameters, including yield energy (YE), yield factor (YF), yield reference (YR), performance ratio (PR), global incident irradiation on the collector plane, shading losses, and PV loss due to temperature. BAPV/BIPV installation models are created with building information modeling and analyzed using PVsyst software with the technical aspect. The comparative case studies compare the performance of BAPV/BIPV installations for urban building applications with c-Si PV technology. The simulation results show that the proposed hybrid scheme implemented with BAPV/BIPV installation can generate 54.29% and 74.98% more energy than those from BAPV-only and BIPV-only installation, respectively.
