The potential of liquid-based BIPVT and ice storage for high performance housing in Canada.

Summary

This paper presents an innovative combination of liquid-based building integrated photovoltaic and thermal (BIPVT) panels with heat pump and ice thermal storage technologies. The system cools roof-integrated PV panels while simultaneously using the recovered thermal energy to efficiently supply heating and hot water to the building. Performance of the proposed system is examined for high performance housing in Calgary and Montreal. Simulated results show strong energy savings potential, with annual net energy use reductions of 13%-34% in comparison to an air-source heat pump + PV only case. BIPVT technologies increase annual PV electrical production by up to 10%, while the integration of ice storage reduces heating/hot water energy use by approximately 26%
