Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the fields of new energy related technologies, devices, systems, etc., and specifically to a solar photovoltaic device suitable for roads and railways. Background Art
[0002] At present, solar power generation is in a stage of rapid development and has become an important part of the global energy sector. The installed capacity of global solar power generation continues to grow. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the total installed capacity of global solar power generation in 2021 is about 1,080GW, which has increased by about 12 times compared with 2010. Solar power generation has become one of the power technologies with the largest new installed capacity in the world. At the same time, solar power generation technology continues to innovate and improve, the efficiency of photovoltaic cells continues to increase, and the cost continues to decline. In particular, the research and application of new photovoltaic technologies such as crystalline silicon solar cells, thin-film solar cells, organic solar cells and perovskite solar cells have made major breakthroughs. Under this situation, governments of various countries have actively promoted the development of solar power generation. Some countries have also established fixed purchase prices or auction markets for solar power generation to ensure the sustainable development of solar power generation.
[0003] my country has the world's largest highway and railway network. In terms of highway transportation, the total mileage of various types of highways, including expressways, national roads, provincial roads, county roads, and rural roads, has reached 4,897,600 kilometers. By the end of 2022, the total mileage of China's expressways has reached about 160,000 kilometers. Minus the total mileage of expressway network tunnels announced by the official and in 2019, which is about 6,924 kilometers, the remaining available mileage is about 153,076 kilometers. The average road width of my country's expressways is usually between about 30 meters and 45 meters. The road width in this range is usually a standard expressway with six or eight lanes in both directions. The road width of some high-capacity traffic arteries may be wider, reaching more than 60 meters. In order to support social development and growing economic needs, the total mileage of highways and railways continues to grow. Only for the land occupied by the road surface itself, excluding the land occupied by other facilities and auxiliary equipment, the total road surface area is estimated to be between 13.8 and 20.7 billion square meters. Calculated based on the current commercial solar power generation efficiency, assuming that the conversion efficiency of a typical solar panel is 15%, the solar paving area is 20.7 billion square meters. Multiply the total area by the effective conversion efficiency of the solar panel: 20.7 billion square meters × 0.15 = 3.105 billion square meters. The average annual solar radiation in my country is 1000-2000kWh / m. Taking into account the regional differences in my country, the annual solar radiation is less than 900, and the average daily solar radiation is about 2.47kWh / m; considering that the solar energy system may not be able to generate full power around the clock, the average daily sunshine time is 6 hours; considering other loss factors such as system efficiency and temperature, the overall system efficiency is 80%, and the result is multiplied by 365 days in a year and 6 hours a day: 3.105 billion square meters × 2.47 × 0.8 × 365 days × 6 hours = 134,367 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh), that is, 21.6 billion square meters of solar paving area may generate approximately 134,367kWh of electricity. The total annual solar power generation generated by the highway network is conservatively estimated to be equivalent to the annual power generation of 115 Three Gorges reservoirs (according to statistics, as of the end of 2022, the annual power generation of the Three Gorges Reservoir is about 1,170kWh). At the same time, my country's new energy vehicles and rail transit vehicles are developing and expanding rapidly. Therefore, it is extremely valuable both in terms of economic benefits and comprehensive benefits to maximize the use of the space occupied by roads and railways in a scientific and effective manner.

In the matching of expressways, due to the increase in the number of newly built and renovated road lanes, in order to solve the load-bearing pressure problem caused by the increase in the width span of the road surface, the green belt in the middle of the original lane in the highway structure is used as the spatial position layout basis for the support transition support.
