Abstract:
The aim of this Project is to Develop a Fully Automated Hybrid Solar Water Heating
System. The system would be based on the Hybrid PVT Panels. PVT panels produce dual
output, as electrical energy as well as thermal heat. PVT panels thus generate a higher
desirable output for the same covered area in comparison to conventional PV Panels and
have been reported to have longer operational /service life. This project would utilize
these panels to design and implement a fully automated system that would not only heat
but also maintain the temperature at the desired level. The automation would be
achieved by Instrumentation, Real-Time Data Acquisition, and implementation Feed-Back
Control Algorithms. There is a large segment of society and industries such as Hospitals &
Healthcare Services, University & School Campuses, Breweries & Distilleries, Food &
Beverage Processing Plants, Commercial Laundry Facilities, Textile Manufacturing
Facilities, Automotive OEMs, etc. which can benefit from this project.
Our proposed method not only addresses the issue of global warming but also focuses on
the accuracy, functionality, scalability throughput, carbon footprint, resolution, and
overall cost-effectiveness of the product by having a bespoke real-time feedbackcontrolled
system that will bring economic benefit to a company.
