Abstract

A two-dimensional numerical study on improving the air-cooling of PV panels by turbulent natural convection in a new concept of hybrid system photovoltaic / thermal solar collector installed in stairs form (S-PVT) has been presented. Two configurations have been studied: configuration (A) contains two photovoltaic modules installed in series. Whereas, in the configuration (B), the two photovoltaic panels are installed in the form of stairs. The flow field is governed by the Navier-Stokes equation and the thermal field by the energy equation. The turbulent fluctuations of velocities and scalar magnitudes are described by the standard turbulence model k- £. The effects of the Rayleigh number in the range (105

阶梯式混合系统(S-PVT)下光伏组件自然风冷的数值研究

本文提出了一种新型楼梯式光伏/热太阳能集热器(S-PVT)混合系统概念，通过紊流自然对流改善光伏板风冷的二维数值研究。研究了两种配置:配置(A)包含两个串联安装的光伏组件。而在构型(B)中，两块光伏板以楼梯的形式安装。流场由Navier-Stokes方程控制，热场由能量方程控制。速度和标量大小的湍流波动用标准湍流模型k-£来描述。分析了瑞利数(105
