Özet
Recent advancements in solar technology have spurred researchers to develop a precise and cost-effective method for monitoring solar radiation across diverse environmental conditions. This study focuses on optimizing performance parameters by replacing conventional nanofluids, produced through chemical and physical processes, with biosynthesized counterparts. Biosynthesized nanoparticles, derived from biological sources like microorganisms or plants, offer a promising avenue for enhancing solar panel efficiency. Through the construction and testing of an integrated photovoltaic thermal system, varying operating parameters have been explored to maximize photovoltaic efficiency. The highest overall efficiency, reaching approximately 62 %, was achieved with biosynthesized Graphene oxide nanofluid under higher Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) levels, while the lowest was observed with Aluminum oxide nanofluid at lower DNI values. Employing Multi-Criteria Decision methods such as Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), nanofluids were ranked based on criteria including Exergy loss, Surface temperature, Overall efficiency, and Electrical efficiency, with weights of 49.58 %, 28.43 %, 13.45 %, and 8.54 % respectively. TOPSIS prioritized Graphene Oxide as the most favorable nanofluid, followed by Copper-Oxide and Cerium-Oxide, while Aluminum-Oxide received the lowest priority in optimizing PV panel performance. © 2024 The Author(s)
