Re: [TRNSYS-users] temperature at each layer of the BIPV



Lizette,

  The answer to your question depends on what BIPV model you are using. If the BIPV model uses a finite difference approach then presumably it has (or may have) outputs for the temperature distribution through the layers. However, if the model uses a different algorithm, such as an overall energy balance, then you may not be able to get at the internal temperatures. The first thing to do is to look at the documentation of the model and understand how it makes its assessment of the thermal and electrical performance. If you are using one of the TESS models of BIPV you'll find the documentation in the ..\TrnsysXX\Tess Models\Documentation\ folder.

kind regards,

 David

Dear all,

Please i need your urgent assistance, I am a new user of trnsys; I need to know the temperature at each layer of the BIPV in order to calculate its electric generation.
is there any way to know the temperature using finite element method in Trnsys or should i use another software?

thank you in advance,
Regards,
Lizette Younes
