  Integrated Optimization of Solar Photovoltaic Systems Using Taguchi Method and Computational Fluid Dynamics for Enhanced Efficiency

  By Shahina Momin, M.M. Mirza

  Abstract: The transition to renewable energy demands efficient and reliable photovoltaic (PV) systems to meet rising global energy needs. This study presents an integrated optimization framework combining the Taguchi method and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to improve the thermal and electrical performance of solar PV systems. A structured experimental design using an L9 orthogonal array evaluates the influence of three key parameters—material type, panel thickness, and cooling mechanism—on system efficiency. Analysis …

  Optimizing Fin Parameters to Enhance Passive Heat Dissipation in Photovoltaic Panels

  By Nisha Gupta, Dr. Dinesh Kumar Koli

  Abstract: This study explores passive cooling techniques to enhance the thermal management of photovoltaic (PV) modules, which is crucial for maintaining efficiency. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, using ANSYS Fluent, was developed to evaluate three fin shapes: rectangular, trapezoidal, and triangular, attached to the back of PV modules. The study varied parameters such as fin count, thickness, and length to determine optimal configurations for cooling. Among the designs, triangular fins …
