Abstract
Electrically activated switchable glazing is potential to control excessive entering solar heat gain to an indoor space by altering its state from transparent to opaque or translucent. Electrically operated polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) glazing become transparent in the presence of power supply and become translucent without power supply. Addition of photovoltaic (PV) with PDLC will ease the external power supply and turn it into a self-sufficient autonomous switchable glazing. In this work, first thermal performance of BIPV - PDLC was conducted using indoor characterization. This combined 0.063 m2 BIPV-PDLC glazing had a transmission of 46.5% in the transparent state and 31.5% in the translucent /opaque state. In the PDLC-OFF state, maximum PV cell temperature was 86.2°C which was 8% higher than PDLC-ON state condition.
