Description
The project sought to increase the energy efficiency of photovoltaic panels through the residual reuse of thermal energy. A cooling fluid circulates in said panel and through a thermodynamic process the superheated steam pushes a micro-turbine that converts the enthalpy into electrical energy.
In addition to the creation, design and simulation, a complete analysis of costs and production processes was carried out.
The design complies with the ASME API standard.
