[0002] Under the general trend of sustainable development in the construction industry, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) technology has been widely applied to building roofs, exterior walls, and other areas with low visibility requirements, becoming an important component of green building energy supply. Among them, photovoltaic window systems, which combine good visibility with high power generation efficiency, are gradually becoming a key focus of industry research and application because they can meet the dual needs of building appearance and energy output.
[0003] Existing photovoltaic (PV) curtain walls primarily achieve ventilation by incorporating operable windows and folding windows, allowing fresh air from outside to enter the room, focusing on ventilation and heat dissipation through external air circulation in summer. However, this type of technology still has several limitations.
[0004] On the one hand, traditional photovoltaic curtain walls lack intelligent control mechanisms and cannot dynamically adjust the airflow channel status according to environmental parameters. This directly leads to insufficient heat dissipation efficiency of photovoltaic modules in summer, and the increase in battery temperature causes a decrease in photoelectric conversion efficiency; in winter, due to insufficient heat recovery, a large amount of heat energy is lost through the curtain wall, which not only wastes energy but also weakens the building's thermal insulation effect, seriously restricting the seasonal adaptability and overall energy efficiency improvement of photovoltaic curtain walls.
[0005] On the other hand, the louvers on existing photovoltaic curtain walls can only achieve simple opening or closing operations, with a single adjustment method.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] This invention provides a photovoltaic curtain wall 10, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the photovoltaic curtain wall 10 includes: an inner curtain wall 100 disposed on the inner side of the photovoltaic curtain wall 10; an outer curtain wall 200 disposed at intervals on the outer side of the inner curtain wall 100 for absorbing and transmitting solar radiation; an air cavity 300 disposed between the inner curtain wall 100 and the outer curtain wall 200 for forming a sealed layer to isolate the outdoor environment from the indoor environment; photovoltaic modules 210 disposed on the inner curtain wall 100, and the heat generated by the photovoltaic modules 210 during operation is introduced into the air cavity 300; and louvers disposed on the inner curtain wall 100 and the outer curtain wall 200, respectively. The louvers on the inner curtain wall 100 are used to open or separate the air cavity 300 from the indoor space. The louvers on the outer curtain wall 200 are used to open or separate the air cavity 300 from the outdoor space. A control device includes a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory. The processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the control method for the photovoltaic curtain wall 10 of any of the above embodiments.
[0024] In some optional embodiments, the louvers include: a first louver 410 of the inner curtain wall, disposed in the upper region of the inner curtain wall 100; and a second louver 420 of the inner curtain wall, disposed in the lower region of the inner curtain wall 100. The first and second louvers are configured such that, in heating mode, air within the air cavity 300 flows into the indoor space through the first louver 410, and air within the indoor space flows into the air cavity 300 through the second louver 420. In heating mode, waste heat emitted by the photovoltaic modules 210 accumulates in the air cavity 300, forming a high-temperature airflow. Through the partitioned design of the upper first louver of the inner curtain wall 100 for air intake and the lower second louver for air return, the high-temperature waste heat airflow within the air cavity 300 naturally rises and efficiently flows into the room through the upper first louver, meeting the heating needs of the upper indoor space. The low-temperature indoor air sinks due to gravity and flows back into the air cavity 300 through the second 100 louvers at the bottom. There, it exchanges heat with the waste heat from the photovoltaic system and the high-temperature environment of the air cavity 300, forming a closed-loop heat cycle. In this invention, the photovoltaic curtain wall 10 significantly improves the waste heat utilization rate, which can accelerate the rate of indoor temperature increase and reduce heating energy consumption.
[0025] In some optional embodiments, the photovoltaic curtain wall 10 further includes: a flexible hose 220, one end of which is connected to the first louver 410 of the inner curtain wall, for guiding air flowing through the first louver 410 into the indoor space; and a fan 230, connected to the other end of the flexible hose 220, for drawing air from the flexible hose 220 into the indoor space. In heating mode, the photovoltaic waste heat airflow in the air cavity 300 enters the flexible hose 220 through the first louver 410 of the inner curtain wall, and the fan 230 draws air from the air cavity 300 to form a directional airflow channel, which can accurately deliver high-temperature waste heat to the room, breaking the limitations of uneven waste heat diffusion under natural heat circulation. In this invention, the photovoltaic curtain wall 10 can improve the targeting of heating and avoid the problems of insufficient waste heat and poor heating effect in some indoor areas.
[0026] In some optional embodiments, the louvers include: a first louver 430 of the outer curtain wall, disposed in the upper region of the outer curtain wall 200; and a second louver 440 of the outer curtain wall, disposed in the lower region of the outer curtain wall 200. The first louver 430 and the second louver 440 of the outer curtain wall are configured such that, in cooling mode, air within the air cavity 300 flows into the outdoor space through the second louver 440, and air within the outdoor space flows into the air cavity 300 through the first louver 430.
[0027] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the outer curtain wall 200 includes: male columns 240 and female columns 250. The male and female columns 240 and 250 can be connected by a plug-in joint, forming a three-layer sealing structure. A first layer of dust-tight sealant, consisting of double-layer waterproof strips, is installed between adjacent male and female columns. A second layer of water-tight sealant, also a waterproof strip, is installed. A third layer of air-tight sealant, also a waterproof strip, is installed. Weather-resistant silicone sealant and foam strips are installed on the outer side to enhance the seal. Thermal bridges are installed at the joints to effectively block heat conduction and improve the overall thermal performance of the curtain wall.
[0028] The inner curtain wall 100 includes: an inner curtain wall male column 110 and an inner curtain wall female column 120. The inner curtain wall male column 110 and inner curtain wall female column 120 can also be connected by a plug-in connection. The inner curtain wall male column 110 and inner curtain wall female column 120 can be made of fluorocarbon coated profiles. Fluorocarbon coating can effectively improve the rigidity of the inner curtain wall male column 110 and inner curtain wall female column 120 and extend their service life. Fireproof rock wool can be installed on the side of the inner curtain wall male column 110 and inner curtain wall female column 120 that is close to the air cavity 300 to ensure the safety of the photovoltaic curtain wall 10.
[0029] This invention also provides a control method for a photovoltaic curtain wall, used to control the photovoltaic curtain wall. For example... Figure 1As shown, the control method for the photovoltaic curtain wall includes at least the following steps S101 to S102.
[0030] Step S101: Obtain the temperature data of the photovoltaic curtain wall and the operating parameters of the photovoltaic modules.
[0031] Step S102: Determine the operating mode of the photovoltaic curtain wall based on temperature data and operating parameters.
[0032] The temperature data includes outdoor temperature, indoor temperature, and air cavity temperature. The operating parameters of the photovoltaic module include operating temperature and output power.
[0033] Operating modes include cooling mode and heating mode. For example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in cooling mode, the photovoltaic curtain wall is configured to close the louvers on the inner curtain wall and open the louvers on the outer curtain wall, dynamically adjusting their opening degree. Air exchange with the outside is achieved through the thermal pressure effect of the air cavity. In heating mode, the photovoltaic curtain wall is configured to open the louvers on the inner curtain wall and dynamically adjust their opening degree, while closing the louvers on the outer curtain wall. Air exchange with the indoor environment is achieved through the thermal pressure effect of the air cavity.
[0034] By determining the operating mode of the photovoltaic curtain wall based on outdoor temperature, indoor temperature, air cavity temperature, and photovoltaic module operating parameters, the seasonal adaptability of the photovoltaic curtain wall can be improved. In cooling mode, closing the louvers on the inner curtain wall and opening the louvers on the outer curtain wall allows the heat inside the air cavity to be expelled to the outside and cooler air to be introduced into the air cavity using the thermal pressure effect of the air cavity.
[0035] In heating mode, opening the louvers on the inner curtain wall and closing the louvers on the outer curtain wall allows heat from the air cavity and the photovoltaic modules to be transferred into the room through the thermal pressure effect of the air cavity, while also introducing cooler indoor air into the air cavity. This fully utilizes the waste heat from the photovoltaic modules and the heat within the air cavity, reducing indoor heating energy consumption and improving energy efficiency.
[0036] In some optional embodiments, the calculation formula for the operating mode of the photovoltaic curtain wall, based on the outdoor temperature, air cavity temperature, and photovoltaic module operating parameters, is as follows: ; Where M represents the operating mode, Here, To is the function for determining the operating mode, Ti is the outdoor temperature, Tcavity is the air cavity temperature, Tpv is the operating temperature of the photovoltaic module, and Ppv is the operating power of the photovoltaic module. This is a preset duration threshold.
[0037] The operation mode determination function can be implemented by setting a preset threshold for each parameter. For example, the operation mode determination function can be: ; in, This indicates a logical AND condition, meaning that triggering both cooling and heating modes requires meeting all parallel conditions, where Pn is the rated output power of the photovoltaic module. The above formula can be interpreted as: The system operates in cooling mode when the outdoor temperature exceeds 28℃, the photovoltaic module temperature exceeds 30℃, the air cavity temperature exceeds 25℃, the duration exceeds 24 hours, and the real-time output power of the photovoltaic module exceeds 30% of the rated power. The system operates in heating mode when the outdoor temperature is below 15℃, the photovoltaic module temperature is below 20℃, the air cavity temperature is below 18℃, the duration exceeds 24 hours, and the real-time output power of the photovoltaic module exceeds 30% of the rated power.
[0038] In other cases, such as when the temperature conditions do not meet the requirements for either cooling or heating mode, the current operating mode should be maintained without change to avoid frequent mode switching and ensure the stability of the photovoltaic curtain wall operation.
[0039] The above method of determining the operating mode is merely an example. Those skilled in the art can choose other preset thresholds based on the actual application environment, or select an appropriate operating mode determination function based on the actual usage situation.
[0040] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, after the step of calculating the operating mode of the photovoltaic curtain wall based on the outdoor temperature, air cavity temperature and photovoltaic module operating parameters, at least the following steps S201 to S207 are also included.
[0041] Step S201: Obtain the temperature data of the photovoltaic curtain wall and the operating parameters of the photovoltaic modules.
[0042] Step S202: Determine the operating mode of the photovoltaic curtain wall based on temperature data and operating parameters.
[0043] Step S203: Obtain outdoor environmental parameters outside the outer curtain wall. These parameters include outdoor relative humidity, solar irradiance, outdoor wind speed, and outdoor air quality. These key environmental parameters provide an accurate and comprehensive data basis for adjusting the louver angle.
[0044] Step S204: Adjust the louver angle according to the operating mode and outdoor environmental parameters. The louver angle includes the angle of the louvers on the inner curtain wall or the angle of the louvers on the outer curtain wall. The louver angle can be dynamically adjusted according to the operating mode and outdoor environmental parameters, giving users multiple options for controlling indoor temperature. For example, adjusting the louver angle in cooling mode in conjunction with solar irradiance can enhance the shading effect. Furthermore, adjusting the louver angles on both the inner and outer curtain walls separately can improve indoor environmental comfort and meet users' needs for precise and diverse control of indoor temperature.
[0045] Step S205 involves using an airflow simulation model to predict changes in air velocity and pressure within the air cavity. Predicting these changes through the airflow simulation model allows for advance understanding of the airflow conditions inside the air cavity, preventing potential airflow turbulence issues caused by blindly adjusting the louvers. Furthermore, predicting air velocity and pressure changes within the air cavity through the airflow simulation model provides a data foundation for subsequent calculations of the effective ventilation area.
[0046] Step S206: Calculate the effective ventilation area of the louvers based on changes in air velocity and pressure within the air cavity. Converting the airflow state into a quantifiable ventilation area avoids relying on experience to adjust the opening. By calculating the effective ventilation area, the specific target for the louver opening can be clearly defined, ensuring that the ventilation effect meets heat exchange requirements without causing energy waste due to over-ventilation, thus balancing ventilation efficiency and energy consumption.
[0047] Step S207: Adjust the louver angle according to the effective ventilation area. Adjusting the louver angle by adjusting the effective ventilation area can correct any deviations that may exist in step S204, ensuring that the louver angle matches the actual ventilation requirements. This not only guarantees the heat exchange efficiency of the air cavity but also avoids problems such as backflow of air or excessive noise caused by improper angles, thereby improving the system control accuracy and operational stability.
[0048] In some optional embodiments, the formula for adjusting the louver angle based on the operating mode, outdoor relative humidity, solar irradiance, and outdoor air quality parameters is as follows: ; in, To adjust the angle of the louvers in cooling mode, To adjust the louver angle in heating mode, M represents the operating mode, f_s is the louver angle adjustment function in cooling mode, f_w is the louver angle adjustment function in heating mode, To is the outdoor temperature, Ti is the indoor temperature, Tcavity is the air cavity temperature, Rho is the outdoor relative humidity, Is is the solar irradiance, Vw is the outdoor wind speed, and t is the time step. In cooling mode, M=1, and in heating mode, M=0.
[0049] In some optional embodiments, the louver angle adjustment function in heating mode can be: ; In heating mode, the base angle value is set to 75°, and then dynamically adjusted using various parameter correction options. Considering that insufficient shading may occur when the louver angle is below 30°, and ventilation efficiency may be affected when the louver angle is above 75°, the louver angle can be limited to between 30° and 50° to balance shading and ventilation efficiency.
[0050] Where I_Is is the solar irradiance coefficient, Is≥1000W / m 2 When I_Is=1, 500W / m 2 <Is<1000W / m 2 When I_Is=0.5, Is≤500W / m 2 When the outdoor temperature is above 28℃ and the irradiance is strong, the angle decreases by 0.8° for every 1℃ increase in temperature to balance shading and ventilation. I_Tcavity is the cavity temperature coefficient: I_Tcavity = 1 when Tcavity ≥ 28℃, I_Tcavity = 0.4 when 25℃ < Tcavity < 28℃, and I_Tcavity = 0 when Tcavity ≤ 25℃. When the cavity temperature is too high, the angle can be further reduced to enhance heat dissipation. I_light is the light demand coefficient: I_light = 1 when indoor light intensity < 300 lux, I_light = 0.3 when 300 lux ≤ indoor light intensity ≤ 800 lux, and I_light = 0 when indoor light intensity > 800 lux. When the irradiance is weak and indoor light is insufficient, the angle is increased by 0~0.3° to supplement lighting. For every 1m / s increase in wind speed Vw, the angle decreases by 0.2° to reduce wind resistance and avoid airflow turbulence. For every 10% increase in outdoor relative humidity (RHo), the angle should be increased by 0.1° to appropriately reduce ventilation volume and prevent high humidity airflow from entering the room.
[0051] In some optional embodiments, the louver angle adjustment function in cooling mode can be: ; In cooling mode, the base angle value is set to 10°, and then dynamically adjusted using various parameter correction options. Considering that dust easily accumulates when the louver angle is below 5°, and that an angle above 40° would affect the indoor temperature's reception of radiation.
[0052] Where I_Tpv is the photovoltaic temperature coefficient, I_Tpv=1 when Tpv≤20℃, I_Tpv=0.3 when 20℃<Tpv<25℃, and I_Tpv=0 when Tpv≥25℃. When the photovoltaic module temperature is below 20℃, the angle is increased by 1.2° for every 1℃ decrease to enhance the heat absorption capacity of the photovoltaic curtain wall. I_solar is the irradiance coefficient, Is≥800W / m 2 When I_solar=1, 300W / m 2 <Is<800W / m 2 When I_solar=0.6, Is≤300W / m 2 When I_solar = 0, the angle increases by 0~0.6° when irradiance is strong to fully utilize solar radiation. I_Ti is the indoor temperature coefficient: I_Ti = 1 when Ti ≥ 22℃, I_Ti = 0.4 when 20℃ < Ti < 22℃, and I_Ti = 0 when Ti ≤ 20℃. When the indoor temperature is too high, the angle decreases by 0~0.4° to avoid excessive heat absorption. For every 1m / s increase in wind speed Vw, the angle decreases by 0.3° to reduce heat loss. For every 0.1 increase in outdoor air quality AQIo, the angle decreases by 0.2° to weaken ventilation and prevent polluted air from entering the room.
[0053] The formulas for adjusting the louver angle in heating mode and cooling mode are merely examples. Those skilled in the art can select appropriate functions based on actual application conditions to adjust the louver angle and meet users' needs for precise and diversified control of indoor temperature.
[0054] In some optional embodiments, the formula for the airflow simulation model is: ; Where u_i and u_j are velocity components, and x_i and x_j are spatial coordinates. Where p is the air density and p is the pressure. The molecular viscosity coefficient, The turbulent viscosity coefficient, , Let k be the pulse velocity component and k be the turbulent kinetic energy. Let G_k be the turbulent energy dissipation rate, G_b be the turbulent kinetic energy generated by the average velocity gradient, and Y_M be the compressibility correction term. , A dimensionless parameter in turbulent flow that indicates the relationship between boundary temperature and flow boundary layer. , , These are empirical constants. In the actual structure of the air cavity of the photovoltaic curtain wall, a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate system can be used to define spatial coordinates x_i and x_j. i and j are taken as 1, 2, and 3, respectively, corresponding to the three coordinate axes x1, x2, and x3. A right-handed rectangular coordinate system is established with the lower left corner of the outer layer of the curtain wall as the origin O(0,0,0); where the x1 axis is along the horizontal direction of the curtain wall, the x2 axis is along the vertical direction of the curtain wall, and the x3 axis is along the thickness direction of the curtain wall.
