Abstract

Today, the increase in energy needs combined with climate change issues has enabled more efficient use of energy resources and the accelerated adoption of renewable energy resources. In addition, CO 2 emission is reducing, and air quality is improving with the integration of solar energy where PV panels play a key role for electricity generation. It is known that increased temperature of the PVs adversely affects both the panel lifetime and electrical conversion efficiency. In this study, SunPower C60 Solar Cells are laminated using polymer matrix composite (PMC) materials with and without a cooling structure to evacuate the heat. Next, mathematical modelling and simulation have been performed using the ANSYS-FLUENT for the proposed designs configuration tool. Alternative thermal conversions of the PVs have been investigated. Experiments have been carried out on solar panels located on the roof of the workshop of the Solaris Solar Car Team. A comparison between experimental and theoretical results is addressed followed by the conclusion. Results of this research show that the designed system increases the efficiency of the photovoltaic cells during operation.

聚合物基复合材料层压光伏/热系统的新设计

今天，能源需求的增加与气候变化问题相结合，使得更有效地利用能源和加速采用可再生能源成为可能。此外，随着太阳能的整合，二氧化碳排放量正在减少，空气质量正在改善，其中光伏电池板在发电中发挥了关键作用。众所周知，温度升高会对面板寿命和电转换效率产生不利影响。在这项研究中，SunPower C60太阳能电池使用聚合物基复合材料(PMC)层压，有或没有冷却结构来排出热量。其次，利用ANSYS-FLUENT对所提出的设计组态工具进行了数学建模和仿真。对pv的替代热转换进行了研究。在位于Solaris太阳能汽车小组车间屋顶的太阳能电池板上进行了实验。实验结果与理论结果进行了比较，并给出了结论。研究结果表明，所设计的系统提高了光伏电池的工作效率。
