聚光型混合光伏光热系统热电性能分析

Performance analysis of a concentrating solar hybrid photovoltaic-thermal system

混合光伏光热(PV/T)系统将光伏组件与太阳能集热器组合在一起,能够同时提供电能和热能,具有较高的太阳能综合利用效率。建立了具有平板式蛇形冷却通道的聚光型混合光伏光热系统的三维稳态模型,对其中的光电光热转换以及流体流动和传热过程进行了数值模拟,得到了聚光比、冷却流体质量流率、环境风速,以及是否加装玻璃盖板等对系统性能影响的规律。

The photovoltaic components of a hybrid photovoltaic-thermal （PV/T） system are combined with a solar thermal collector, which generates both thermal and electrical energy simultaneously with a higher integrated efficiency. A three-dimensional steady model of the concentrating solar PV/T system which has a plate-type metallic thermal collector with a serpentine rectangular channel is developed. The processes of photovoltaic and thermal transformation and heat transfer in the PV/T collector are calculated and simulated. The effects of the optical concentrating ratio, coolant mass flow rate, ambient air velocity and glass cover on both thermal and electrical performance of the collector are presented and discussed.
