Abstract

The invention provides a solar simulator for a solar photo-thermal power generation experiment, and belongs to the technical field of detecting equipment for solar photo-thermal power generation devices. The solar simulator is used for the solar photo-thermal power generation experiment, and is characterized in that a supporting mechanism of an optical device is connected with a rotating mechanism of the optical device; analog lamp units are mounted on the rotating mechanism; a clamping device is positioned in front of the optical device; the analog lamp units of the optical device are opposite to a fixture of the clamping device; the fixture is used for clamping a to-be-detected sample; a detecting part of a detecting device is opposite to the to-be-detected sample which is clamped through the clamping device; a control device is connected with the optical device, the clamping device and the detecting device through cables; and a cooling device is positioned on one side of the optical device and connected with the analog lamp units of the optical device. The solar simulator provided by the invention is widely adaptive and can be applied to solar photo-thermal power generation experiments in different forms; and through the solar simulator, light spots can be automatically focused on, the sizes of the light spots can be continuously adjusted, and then the demand of the solar photo-thermal power generation experiments in the field of solar photo-thermal power generation can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solar simulator for simulating solar spectrum by using a gas discharge lamp, and belongs to the technical field of detection equipment for solar photothermal power generation devices. Background technique [0002] With the development of the economy, energy issues and environmental protection issues have become more prominent, especially the consumption of fossil energy is becoming more and more serious. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new energy and new technology to replace the consumption of fossil energy. Solar energy is universal, non-polluting and sustainable in use, so solar energy is a very good new energy to replace fossil energy. The use of solar energy is mainly concentrated in two fields: solar thermal power generation and photovoltaic power generation. [0003] Solar simulation technology is a new technology emerging with aerospace technology, and solar simulator is an experimental or calibration devic...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The design of these solar simulators has great limitations, and can only be used for one of the three power generation methods of solar thermal power generation, and cannot be used universally, thus limiting the scope of use of existing solar simulators

At the same time, the existing solar simulators are difficult to manually focus and the size of the light spot cannot be continuously adjusted, which makes the operation of the solar simulator more difficult and affects the use effect

Therefore, the existing solar simulators cannot meet the needs of solar thermal power generation experiments in the field of solar thermal power generation, and it is very necessary to develop new multifunctional and general-purpose solar simulators.
