THE ANALISYS OF THE PHOTOVOLTAIC AND ELECTRIC PARAMETERS OF A COOLING HYBRID SYSTEM. CASE STUDY
Abstract
The paper presents the interdependence between photovoltaic and electric parameters of a solar thermoelectric cooler. It emphasises the importance of the solar radiation during two experiments made in the same day, in different weather conditions. Also, it is shown that while the photovoltaic power is directly dependent on the photovoltaic current intensity, the electric power varies along with the voltage. All these have great influence upon the battery – the main component responsible for the operation of the cooling hybrid system.
