摘要
摘要辐射冷却作为一种在运行过程中不消耗任何能量的冷却方法,近年来已成为一个热门话题。与建筑中的被动式日间辐射冷却不同,光伏组件中使用的辐射冷却器也必须具有高透光率,这无疑增加了相关研究的难度。目前,双面光伏模块在市场上广泛可用,如果在其背面采用传统的冷却方法,包括散热器等被动冷却和空气冷却和水冷却等主动冷却,将阻挡模块的背面辐照度。因此,辐射冷却是一个很好的解决方案。本文提出了聚碳酸酯(PC)薄膜和一种由高反射层组成的薄膜。前者在大气窗口具有高发射率,而后者在近红外波段具有高反射率。两者都能在不影响模块正常运行的情况下实现良好的冷却效果。我们还通过磁控溅射在PC上制备了反射膜,并对其光学特性进行了测量,并与模拟结果进行了比较。我们创新性地使用PC材料,并结合了结构非常简单的反射膜。与其他研究结果相比,它们是更简单、更稳定的薄膜结构,具有成本低、安装方便、冷却效果好、可以直接粘贴在光伏组件表面等优点。结果表明,采用R-PC薄膜的冷却效果可达到6.02°C,采用PC薄膜的光电转换效率可提高0.27% = 20 W · m − 2. · K − 1和Ta = 27 ° C.由于其优异的性能,它们在双面光伏组件的日间被动辐射冷却方面具有广阔的应用前景。
Enhancing radiative cooling performance for bifacial photovoltaic module using two kinds of polycarbonate films
Abstract. Radiative cooling, as a cooling method that does not consume any energy during operation, has become a hot topic in recent years. Unlike passive daytime radiative cooling in buildings, radiative coolers used in photovoltaic modules must also have high light transmittance, which undoubtedly makes relevant research more difficult. Currently, bifacial photovoltaic modules are widely available on the market, if traditional cooling methods are employed in the back of them, including passive cooling such as heat sink and active cooling such as air cooling and water cooling, it will block the rear irradiance into the module. Hence, radiative cooling is an excellent solution. In this paper, polycarbonate (PC) film and one composed with a high reflective layer are proposed. The former has high emissivity in the atmospheric window and the latter has high reflectivity in the near-infrared band. Both achieve a good cooling effect without affecting the normal operation of the module. We also prepared the reflective film on PC by magnetron sputtering, and its optical characteristics were also measured and compared with simulation results. We innovatively use PC material and combine the reflective film with quite simple structure. Compared with other research results, they are simpler and stabler film structures and have the advantages of low cost, easy installation, good cooling effect, and can be directly pasted on the surface of the photovoltaic module. It turns out that the cooling effect can reach 6.02°C with R-PC film and photoelectric conversion efficiency can be improved by 0.27% with PC film when hc = 20 W · m − 2 · K − 1 and Ta = 27 ° C. Given its excellent performance, they have a broad application prospect in the daytime passive radiative cooling of bifacial photovoltaic modules.
