Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic power generation, and specifically relates to a photovoltaic panel temperature regulation and cleaning system based on cross-seasonal energy storage and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the application and development of photovoltaic power generation technology, although it has broad prospects as a clean and renewable energy source, the improvement of system efficiency still faces many challenges. These challenges are mainly concentrated in two aspects: operating temperature management and surface cleaning maintenance of photovoltaic panels.

[0003] The operating temperature of photovoltaic panels is a key factor affecting their photoelectric conversion efficiency. The ideal operating temperature range is usually set between 25-35°C. However, the current photovoltaic system has obvious shortcomings in dealing with seasonal temperature changes. When the temperature is high in summer, photovoltaic panels are prone to overheating, resulting in increased electron-hole pair recombination and decreased photoelectric conversion efficiency; while in winter, low temperatures will increase the internal resistance of the components, which is also not conducive to improving power generation efficiency. Although the existing technology can cool down by forced air cooling or water cooling in high temperatures in summer, it lacks an effective adjustment mechanism in low temperature environments in winter, resulting in the inability of photovoltaic panels to maintain the optimal operating temperature, which in turn affects the overall power generation efficiency. The lack of this seasonal adjustment is an important obstacle to improving the efficiency of photovoltaic systems. The existing temperature adjustment methods usually require additional energy consumption to keep the photovoltaic panels in the optimal temperature range, which not only limits the overall efficiency of the photovoltaic power generation system, but also has a negative impact on the long-term operating costs and economic benefits of the system.

[0004] Dust accumulation on the surface of photovoltaic panels is another factor that seriously affects power generation efficiency. Dust and dirt will block direct sunlight, reduce the effective light received by photovoltaic panels, and thus reduce the efficiency of photoelectric conversion. Although there are many cleaning solutions on the market, such as manual cleaning, automatic brushing and spraying systems, these solutions are often operated separately from the temperature control system, which will lead to unnecessary energy consumption due to lack of synergy, and most of them still rely on manual intervention. This separation design and reliance on manual labor not only increases the maintenance cost of the system, but also reduces management efficiency and increases energy consumption, making it difficult to achieve the optimal overall performance of the photovoltaic system.

[0005] Therefore, how to adjust the temperature of photovoltaic panels so that they can operate within the optimal temperature range in different seasons and combine the temperature control system with the cleaning system has become a key issue in improving the overall efficiency of photovoltaic power generation systems and reducing energy consumption. Summary of the invention

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The present invention provides a photovoltaic panel temperature regulation and cleaning system based on cross-seasonal energy storage. The system uses a water storage body to store cold water in winter and hot water in summer, realizes cross-seasonal storage and reuse of energy, and significantly reduces the energy consumption of temperature regulation. By adjusting the temperature of cooling / heating water through a water cooling cabinet and combining with the serpentine flow channel on the back of the photovoltaic panel, the temperature of the photovoltaic panel can be accurately controlled to ensure that it works in the optimal temperature range, thereby improving the power generation efficiency. The system can automatically adjust the working mode according to seasonal changes, used for cooling in summer and for heating in winter, which enhances the adaptability and flexibility of the system. The outlet pipe part in the temperature control system is used as a cleaning water branch to realize the recycling of cleaning water, reduce water resource consumption, and improve the environmental protection and economy of the system. The organic combination of the cleaning system and the temperature control system not only improves the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, but also extends its service life and reduces maintenance costs. In summary, the integration of the cross-seasonal energy storage temperature control system and the cleaning system realizes the dual control of the temperature and cleanliness of the photovoltaic panel. The two work together to significantly improve the overall efficiency of the photovoltaic power generation system. The cross-seasonal energy storage technology reduces dependence on external energy, while the recycling of cleaning water reduces water resource consumption, achieving the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0025] Furthermore, through the design of the heating water inlet branch, cooling water inlet branch, water outlet main pipeline and cleaning water branch, the system can flexibly switch the working mode according to the season and demand. Each branch has a clear division of labor, and the water outlet main pipeline can distribute cooling water, hot water or cleaning water as needed, which improves the utilization efficiency of water resources. The circulating water pump provides a stable water flow power for the system, ensuring the continuous circulation of cooling / heating water and maintaining the temperature stability of the photovoltaic panel.

[0026] Furthermore, the design of the serpentine flow channel allows the cooling / heating water to be evenly distributed on the back of the photovoltaic panel, improving the uniformity and efficiency of temperature regulation. Reasonable flow channel layout helps reduce the thermal stress caused by temperature differences in the photovoltaic panel and extend its service life.

[0027] Furthermore, by setting temperature measurement points on the back of the photovoltaic panel, its temperature changes can be monitored in real time, providing accurate data for the automatic adjustment of the system. Based on the data from the temperature measurement points, the system can accurately adjust the temperature of the cooling / heating water to keep the photovoltaic panel in the optimal working range.

[0028] Furthermore, the combined design of the top cover, the impermeable layer, the insulation layer and the soil layer effectively prevents the heat loss of the water body and improves the energy storage efficiency. More preferably, materials such as impermeable geomembranes and high-density polystyrene foam boards can be used, which are environmentally friendly and durable, and reduce maintenance costs.

[0029] Furthermore, through the circulating water collection device, filtering device and recycling pipeline, the recycling of cleaning water is realized, reducing water resource consumption, not only reducing dependence on external water sources, but also reducing wastewater discharge.

[0030] Furthermore, the design of the inclined flow channel enables the cleaning water to flow smoothly into the collection device, thereby improving the recovery efficiency. The inclined flow channel has a certain inclination angle, which also helps prevent debris from clogging the flow channel, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the system.

[0031] Furthermore, the integration of the spray cleaning device, mechanical cleaning device and dust detection device realizes the automatic cleaning of photovoltaic panels and reduces manual intervention. The dust detection device can monitor the degree of dust accumulation on the surface of photovoltaic panels in real time, automatically judge and start the cleaning program, and improve the timeliness and effectiveness of cleaning.

The cooling water passes through the fifth electromagnetic two-way valve 20, the second electromagnetic three-way valve 21, the third water pump 22 and the third electromagnetic three-way valve 23, and then flows into the serpentine flow channel of the back panel of the solar photovoltaic panel 1 after the temperature is adjusted by the water cooling cabinet 8. At this time, the third electromagnetic two-way valve 16 and the fifth electromagnetic two-way valve 20 are closed. The system monitors the temperature of the back of the photovoltaic panel in real time by the first temperature measuring point 26, the second temperature measuring point 27, and the third temperature measuring point 28. The average value of the three measuring points is taken as the monitoring basis, and the temperature of the cooling water is adjusted to keep the solar photovoltaic panel 1 within the optimal operating temperature range. The cooling water absorbs the heat of the solar photovoltaic panel 1 to generate hot water, which returns to the hot water storage body 17 to be stored for use in winter.

[0063] When cleaning is required, the system will guide part of the water to the spray cleaning device through the first electromagnetic three-way valve 14 to clean the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1. The cleaned water will be processed by the filtering device, i.e., the activated carbon filter 13, and then flow back to the circulating water tank 10. After the spraying is completed, the mechanical cleaning device 5 is started, and the flexible sponge or roller brush can physically wipe the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1 along the slide rail 4 to ensure thorough cleaning, especially for stains that are difficult to remove. The movement of the sponge or roller brush is controlled by the limit devices on both sides of the slide rail 4 to prevent the device from detaching from the solar photovoltaic panel 1.

[0064] In addition, when the water in the cold water body 18 is insufficient, the circulating water tank 10 mixes the water with the cold water body 18 through the first water pump 9 and the third electromagnetic three-way valve 23 and passes through the water cooling cabinet 8 to cool the solar photovoltaic panel 1.

[0065] Winter operation mode:

[0066] After the system switches to winter mode, the hot water stored in summer is used to heat the solar photovoltaic panel 1. The hot water flows from the hot water storage body 17 through the fourth electromagnetic two-way valve 19, the second electromagnetic three-way valve 21, the third water pump 22 and the third electromagnetic three-way valve 23, and then flows into the backplane serpentine flow channel of the solar photovoltaic panel 1 after the temperature is adjusted by the water cooling cabinet 8, thereby increasing the working temperature of the solar photovoltaic panel 1. At this time, the second electromagnetic two-way valve 15 and the fourth electromagnetic two-way valve 19 are closed. The system monitors the temperature of the back of the photovoltaic panel in real time by the first temperature measuring point 26, the second temperature measuring point 27, and the third temperature measuring point 28. The average value of the three measuring points is taken as the monitoring basis, and the temperature of the heated water is adjusted to keep the solar photovoltaic panel 1 within the optimal working temperature range. After providing heat to the solar photovoltaic panel 1, the heated water is cooled to produce cold water, which returns to the cold water storage body 18 and is stored for summer use.

[0067] In addition, when the water in the hot water storage body 17 is insufficient, the circulating water tank 10 mixes the water with the hot water storage body 17 through the first water pump 9 and the third electromagnetic three-way valve 23 and passes through the water cooling cabinet 8 to heat the solar photovoltaic panel 1.

[0068] The cleaning frequency is lower in winter, but the system uses a dust detection device 6 to obtain the amount of dust accumulation, and can start the cleaning function when the dust accumulation reaches the set value. The system will guide part of the water to the spray cleaning device through the first electromagnetic three-way valve 14 to clean the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1. The cleaned water is filtered by the filter device, i.e., the activated carbon filter 13, and then flows back to the circulating water tank 10. After the spray cleaning is completed, the mechanical cleaning device 5 is started to physically wipe the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1 along the slide rail 4 to ensure thorough cleaning, especially for stains that are difficult to remove. The movement of the sponge or roller brush is controlled by the limit devices on both sides of the slide rail 4 to prevent the device from detaching from the solar photovoltaic panel 1.

[0069] Automatic cleaning mode in rainy days:

[0070] The system automatically starts the rainy day mode when rainfall is detected. Rainwater flows over the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1 and is captured by the circulating water collection device at the bottom. After being processed by the filtering device, i.e., the activated carbon filter 13, the rainwater enters the circulating water tank 10 for storage through the first electromagnetic two-way valve 12 and the second water pump 11. Subsequently, the mechanical cleaning device 5 is started to physically wipe the surface of the solar photovoltaic panel 1 along the slide rail 4 to ensure thorough cleaning, and to remove stubborn stains in combination with the natural flushing of rainwater. The movement of the roller brush or sponge at the bottom of the mechanical cleaning device 5 is controlled by the limit devices on both sides of the slide rail to prevent the device from detaching from the solar photovoltaic panel 1. The mechanical cleaning device 5 moves along the slide rail 4 to mechanically wipe the solar photovoltaic panel 1.

[0071] At the same time, the system monitors the temperature of the solar photovoltaic panel 1. If it is found that the temperature is too low due to rainfall, the system automatically adjusts the temperature of the water cooling cabinet to maintain the normal working state of the photovoltaic panel.

[0072] This embodiment uses cross-seasonal energy storage technology. The system effectively reduces the temperature of photovoltaic panels in summer and keeps photovoltaic panels warm in winter, ensuring that photovoltaic panels are maintained in optimal working conditions throughout the year, thereby improving power generation efficiency. The system significantly reduces the energy consumption required for temperature regulation by storing cold in summer and heat in winter. The recycling of rainwater and washing water reduces the demand for external water sources and reduces water resource consumption. Intelligent control reduces manual intervention, and the automatic adjustment and dynamic management of the system reduce maintenance costs and extend the service life of photovoltaic panels. Through the above implementation case, its efficiency, economy and environmental protection in practical applications are demonstrated, providing an innovative solution for the optimization of photovoltaic power generation systems.

[0073] This system uses cold storage and heat storage technology to regulate the temperature of photovoltaic panels in different seasons. In summer, the photovoltaic panels are effectively cooled by using the cold water stored in winter to reduce the operating temperature of the photovoltaic panels, thereby improving the power generation efficiency. At the same time, the hot water generated during the cooling process is stored for use in winter. In winter, the hot water stored in summer is used to heat the photovoltaic panels to ensure that they are maintained in the best working state in a low-temperature environment, and the resulting cooling water is stored again for use in summer. Through this cyclic energy storage method, the photovoltaic panels are kept in the best working state in different seasons, effectively reducing the performance loss caused by temperature fluctuations.

[0074] In addition, the system improves the environmental protection and economic efficiency of the cleaning function by efficiently managing water resources. The cleaning water is recycled within the system and can be used again after being collected and filtered. Especially on rainy days, the system can automatically start the cleaning function and collect rainwater, significantly reducing dependence on external water sources and improving water resource utilization efficiency. This design is not only suitable for areas with water shortages, but also enhances the environmental protection and sustainability of the system.

[0075] The proposed system is equipped with a real-time monitoring function, which can automatically adjust the frequency and intensity of cooling, heating and cleaning operations according to the temperature and dust accumulation of the photovoltaic panels. This intelligent control ensures that the photovoltaic panels are always in the best working condition, reduces unnecessary cleaning operations, and reduces manual intervention and maintenance costs.

[0076] In summary, the present invention significantly improves the comprehensive efficiency of the photovoltaic power generation system by integrating temperature regulation, cleaning and cross-seasonal energy storage functions. The design of the system not only simplifies maintenance and operation, but also realizes efficient use of water resources and energy, greatly improving the economic benefits and environmental performance of the system.
