We havn't working with PCM materials using TRNSYS.

Ali H Al-Waeli

I am currently trying to work on MATLAB, CFD to further explore use of PCM with PVT systems. I think using CFD would be a good replacement.

Mohammad Rezvanpour

Thanks to both of you!

Thanks to you @Saim

I have a project which I must simulate amount of electricity output in PV-PCM system by TRNSYS.

However, thanks for your favor.

Arjun Vyas

It would be interesting to see that happening. Have you calculated it with the theoretical equations ?

I have the formulas related to the PV and Phase change material. In fact I know there is a component which exactly evaluate this in TRNSYS but I have not access to that. After all, I need to code it in Fortran myself.

Can you share with me ?
