Co-simulation Techniques for BIPV Assessment

This thesis focuses on developing co-simulation techniques to use the strengths of different modelling and simulation tools in their specialized area. In order to comprehensively model BIPV system, different sub-model should be included to cover most possible physical behaviors. This leads to further observations about lifetime expectancy and the degradation of the module through its operation time. The framework in this thesis will be dedicated to involve as many aspects as possible to for BIPV assessment.
