A simulation study of photovoltaic system integrated with phase change material using ANSYS

Temperature regulation in photovoltaic (PV) systems is crucial for enhancing PV performance. Passive cooling with a phase transition material (PCM) is one approach for dealing with overheating. Crude Palm Oil (CPO), which is more sustainable, and abundant is preferred in Malaysia. The potential of C...
