Detailed Implementation
[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings: The purpose of this invention is to provide a graphical simulation method and related equipment for heterojunction batteries, so as to solve the technical problem of low battery efficiency caused by relying on experience or trial and error in the prior art.
[0021] Example 1 See Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, a graphical simulation method for heterojunction solar cells is provided, comprising: Step 1: Obtain measurement data of the battery grid lines; Specifically, in the step of obtaining the measurement data of the battery grid lines, the measurement data of the battery grid lines includes the width and height of the fine grid lines on the front of the battery, the width and height of the fine grid lines on the back of the battery, and the sheet resistance of the front and back of the battery.
[0022] In this embodiment, high-precision measuring tools (such as microscopes and laser rangefinders) are used to directly measure the width and height of the battery grid lines. Simultaneously, the sheet resistance can be measured using the four-probe method or similar testing techniques. The battery surface is observed at high magnification using instruments such as optical microscopes or scanning electron microscopes, and the dimensional information of the grid lines is extracted using image processing techniques. The sheet resistance and current transport performance of the battery are indirectly evaluated using electrical testing methods such as current-voltage (IV) testing and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
[0023] Step 2: Construct a simulation model of the heterojunction cell based on the obtained measurement data of the cell grid lines; Specifically, a simulation model of a heterojunction cell is constructed using 3D modeling technology or equivalent circuit modeling technology; The specific process is as follows: Data preparation: Organize the acquired battery grid line measurement data (including width, height, sheet resistance, etc.) and other relevant material parameters (such as semiconductor layer thickness, doping concentration, etc.) into the format required for model input.
[0024] Model Building: Using professional 3D modeling software (such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, etc.), the 3D model of the battery is built layer by layer according to its actual structure. During the modeling process, special attention needs to be paid to the layout and dimensions of the grid lines to ensure the accuracy of the model.
[0025] Material property settings: Assign corresponding material properties to various parts of the model, including electrical conductivity, optical properties, and thermal properties. These properties will directly affect the battery's performance during the simulation.
[0026] Meshing: Dividing the model into multiple small mesh elements enables accurate calculations during simulation. Meshing should take into account variations in the model's geometry and material properties to ensure the accuracy of the calculation results.
[0027] Simulation Run: Set the necessary operating parameters (such as light intensity, temperature, etc.) in the simulation software and start the simulation program. The simulation program will simulate the battery's operation under different conditions based on the model's structure and material properties, and calculate the corresponding performance parameters.
[0028] Step 3: Optimize the number of front and back grid lines of the battery grid based on the simulation model of the heterojunction battery, and determine the final grid layout based on the optimization results.
[0029] Specifically, according to Figure 2 As shown, the optimization process for the front grid lines of the battery grid is as follows: S1, fixes the number and layout of the grid lines on the back of the battery grid; Specifically, before optimizing the front grid lines, it is necessary to first fix the number and layout of the back grid lines. This is because the back grid lines also have a significant impact on battery performance, but their impact is treated as a constant during the front grid line optimization process. Fixing the back grid lines ensures that other variables remain constant when evaluating changes in the front grid lines, thus accurately reflecting the impact of changes in the number of front grid lines on battery efficiency.
[0030] S2, setting the optimization range for the number of grid lines on the front of the battery; Specifically, based on battery design and performance requirements, a reasonable optimization range for the number of front-side grid lines should be set. This range should be determined based on current technological conditions, production costs, and performance expectations. Setting an optimization range helps reduce unnecessary simulations while ensuring coverage of possible optimal solutions.
[0031] S3. Simulate the number of front grid lines of the battery within the optimization range one by one in the simulation model of the heterojunction battery, and evaluate the battery performance parameters under each number of front grid lines based on the simulation results, analyze the impact of increasing the number of front grid lines on battery efficiency, and obtain the evaluation results. Specifically, using the established heterojunction battery simulation model, various scenarios with the number of front-side grid lines within the optimized range are simulated one by one. During the simulation, it is necessary to ensure that other parameters (such as light intensity, temperature, and battery materials) remain constant in order to accurately assess the impact of changes in the number of front-side grid lines on battery performance. The simulation results will provide detailed data on battery performance parameters, such as conversion efficiency, open-circuit voltage, and short-circuit current.
[0032] S4, and determine the number of front grid lines to achieve optimal battery efficiency based on the evaluation results.
[0033] Specifically, by analyzing the simulation results, the battery performance parameters under each number of front-side grid lines are evaluated. The focus is on the trend of conversion efficiency, as it is a crucial indicator of battery performance. The impact of increasing the number of front-side grid lines on battery efficiency is analyzed to identify the optimal number of front-side grid lines for achieving the best battery efficiency. This process may require multiple iterations and comparisons of different schemes to ensure that the final selected scheme is optimal.
[0034] Among them, according to Figure 3 As shown, the optimization process for the back grid lines of the battery grid is as follows: L1, the number and layout of the front grid lines of the fixed battery grid; Specifically, the front grid lines are fixed to ensure that other variables remain constant when optimizing the back grid lines.
[0035] L2 sets the optimization range for the number of grid lines on the back of the battery; Specifically, the optimal range for the number of back grid lines is set based on battery design and performance requirements.
[0036] L3, within the simulation model of the heterojunction cell, simulate the number of back grid lines of the cell within the optimized range one by one, and evaluate the cell performance parameters under each number of back grid lines based on the simulation results, analyze the impact of increasing the number of back grid lines on cell efficiency, and obtain the evaluation results. Specifically, simulation models are used to simulate various scenarios where the number of back-side gate lines is within the optimization range, ensuring that other parameters remain constant.
[0037] L4, and determine the number of back grid lines to achieve optimal battery efficiency based on the evaluation results.
[0038] Specifically, the simulation results are analyzed to evaluate the impact of changes in the number of back grid lines on battery efficiency, and the optimal number of back grid lines is determined.
[0039] Specifically, based on the optimization results of the optimal number of front grid lines or the optimal number of back grid lines, the number of welding PAD points on each main grid is set to complete the design of the battery electrode parameters, and the final grid line layout diagram is generated based on the design of the battery electrode parameters.
[0040] In summary, this invention provides a graphical simulation method for heterojunction solar cells. It involves acquiring measurement data of the cell's grid lines; constructing a simulation model of the heterojunction solar cell based on this data; optimizing the number of front and back grid lines according to the simulation model; and determining the final grid line layout based on the optimization results.

By optimizing the number of front and back grid lines, the optimal grid line layout can be precisely found, thereby maximizing the photoelectric conversion efficiency and output power of the cell.
