[BLDG-SIM] about pv simulation

[David Bradley]

Matthew,
   There have recently been written some new components for TRNSYS that 
deal specifically with BIPV, BIPV/T, and BIPV with an embedded phase change 
material. There are many tools available for simulating the electricity 
production of PVs but far fewer, in my experience, that can couple the PV 
with the building skin or that can look at the effects of a working fluid 
used to recuperate thermal energy from PV arrays. If you are interested in 
the models that we developed for TRNSYS, you can get some more information 
at http://www.trnsys.com by following the "TESS Component Libraries" link 
and by looking at the description of the Green Building Library. The PV/PCM 
component is not in there yet as we are in the final stages of documenting 
and releasing that model.
Cheers,
  David
