Abstract: Analyses will be conducted to indicate the energy performance of a photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) system. In this regard, a simulation tool using the transient system simulation (TRNSYS) software will be developed to investigate if the system can be used to provide electrical and thermal energy to a household located in London, UK. Based on this, it will be indicated if the modelled system is capable of providing the required demand and how the energy output from the system can be delivered to thermal and electrical storage components. Having indicated that, it will be demonstrated how by utilising the developed model, the energy output from the system can be improved. Furthermore, it will be discovered how different thermal energy storage systems can help to store or dissipate the absorbed excessive heat from the system. The analyses will be conducted on the most optimal short- and long-term thermal storage systems and during warm seasons of the year.
