Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of architectural optics and photovoltaic technology, and particularly relates to a low-carbon oriented FIPV facade glare dynamic evaluation and optimization method. Background Art

[0002] In the field of architectural optics and photovoltaic technology, with the growing demand for environmental sustainability and increasingly stringent building standards, technological development is mainly focused on two key areas: improving energy efficiency and optimizing visual comfort. In terms of improving energy efficiency, modern photovoltaic technology has significantly enhanced power conversion efficiency and reduced energy loss by adopting high-performance materials, optimizing component structure design, and improving energy management efficiency. For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN 208970522 U discloses a solar photovoltaic module that effectively enhances the light capture capability by introducing a raised dielectric layer into the module structure, thereby significantly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency. In terms of visual comfort optimization, technological development focuses on reducing light pollution and glare problems caused by photovoltaic applications in urban and residential environments. For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN 210073881 U discloses an anti-glare photovoltaic module that reduces the glare caused by sunlight reflection through special surface treatment technology, significantly improving the light environment quality around buildings.

[0003] Despite this, existing technologies still have significant deficiencies in the field of glare evaluation for facade integrated photovoltaic systems (FIPV). On the one hand, current glare evaluation methods are mostly based on static optical simulations at fixed observation points, failing to fully account for the changes in line of sight of dynamic observers such as pedestrians and drivers along different paths. On the other hand, existing methods primarily rely on simulation analysis within specific time periods. Because solar altitude, weather conditions, and ambient light vary over time, the impact of glare exhibits temporal fluctuations. Single or short-term simulations cannot reflect the glare intensity, duration, and cumulative effects throughout the entire year. While some methods employ temporal simulation, their long time steps prevent them from accurately capturing the peak characteristics of peak glare periods. Furthermore, most models lack long-term calibration with measured data, limiting the reliability of the simulation results. Consequently, existing technologies face challenges in dynamically reflecting changes in observation paths, accurately capturing glare fluctuations throughout the year, and generating insufficient simulation data accuracy. Summary of the Invention
