Abstract

This paper aims to study a new solar panels cleaning device based on the ionic wind produced by corona discharge plasma. The device comprises a high-voltage electrode composed of a series of parallel sharp needles and a grounded frame electrode. The system is moved using two driven wheels fixed at its extremities, and is placed at a few millimetres above the solar panel surface at. The cleaning operation is done by moving the dust particles from the surface using the ionic wind coming out through a 5 mm-width opening located at the bottom of the device. The study was carried out by measuring the wind velocity and the cleaning efficiency as a function of the device movement speed and the applied voltage level. The results obtained using Algerian Sahara sand dust allowed to obtain an ionic wind velocity of about 2 m/s and a cleaning efficiency that reaches 95% with a consumed power of about 20 W.

新型太阳能电池板电晕放电离子风清洗系统的实验研究

本文旨在研究一种基于电晕放电等离子体产生的离子风的新型太阳能电池板清洁装置。该装置包括由一系列平行尖针组成的高压电极和接地框架电极。该系统使用固定在其末端的两个驱动轮移动，并放置在太阳能电池板表面上方几毫米处。清洁操作是利用离子风从设备底部一个5毫米宽的开口吹出，将灰尘颗粒从表面吹走。研究通过测量风速和清洗效率作为设备移动速度和施加电压水平的函数来进行。使用阿尔及利亚撒哈拉沙尘获得的结果允许获得约2米/秒的离子风速，清洁效率达到95%，消耗功率约为20瓦。
