Abstract


This study introduces a novel architecture of a dual-fluid photovoltaic–thermal (PVT) hybrid solar system equipped with fins, integrating a compound parabolic cylindrical concentrator, a dual-mode cooling system (water and air), a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm based on the Perturb and Observe (P&O) method, a Buck-Boost converter, and battery storage. The objective is to maximize the conversion of solar energy into both electricity and heat, while ensuring a reliable and autonomous energy supply for the needs of the LPADER university laboratory in Mahajanga. The methodology is based on rigorous mathematical modeling and numerical simulations performed in MATLAB, taking into account the local climatic conditions. The results highlight the potential of this architecture to ensure stable electrical generation, while efficiently recovering heat for domestic or agricultural applications. The dual-fluid CPVT hybrid field thus represents a sustainable and high-performance solution for decentralized electrification, particularly in rural areas or regions with unstable grids, thereby contributing to local sustainable development.
