An Evaluation of the PV Integrated Dynamic Overhangs Based on Parametric Performance Design Method: A Case Study of a Student Apartment in China

A photovoltaic shading device (PVSD) is a promising technology that can both generate electricity and provide to reduce indoor energy consumption. This paper aims evaluate the performance of three PVSD design strategies in five Chinese cities by using proposed all-in-one simulation program, according parametric method. The program be used predict consumption, power generation, economic feasibility different strategies. It was, firstly, calibrated through an actual experiment which was carried out Qingdao and, secondly, simulate consumption generation relation optimal angles heights. Finally, calculate efficiency findings indicated move-shade strategy best energy-saving performance, followed rotate-shade fixed-shade Compared no-shade strategy, reduction net use intensity 31.80% Shenzhen, 107.36% Kunming, 48.37% Wuhan, 61.79% Qingdao, 43.83% Changchun. payback periods ranged from 5 16 years when China.
