Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solar energy equipment technology, specifically relating to a composite parabolic concentrating solar full-spectrum utilization device. Background Technology

[0002] The solar spectrum is characterized by a broad, continuous spectrum interspersed with absorption and emission lines. Its energy distribution exhibits a certain regularity with wavelength. These characteristics form the theoretical basis for the solar full-spectrum utilization hydrogen production technology in this invention. The solar spectrum, as shown in the diagram, possesses the following characteristics:

[0003] (1) Thermal radiation characteristics: The radiation intensity of the solar spectrum varies with wavelength, which conforms to the blackbody radiation law. The radiation intensity gradually decreases with increasing wavelength, showing a peak in the visible spectrum range (400nm-700nm), and then gradually decreases towards the ultraviolet and infrared sides.

[0004] (2) Ultraviolet and Infrared Radiation: The intensity of solar radiation gradually decreases at both ends of the visible spectrum. In the ultraviolet region, although the radiation intensity decreases, it is still higher than that of infrared light, especially in the short-wave ultraviolet region. In the infrared region, the radiation intensity gradually decreases, but there is still a certain degree of radiation.

[0005] (3) Absorption lines and emission lines: In addition to the continuous spectrum, there are also absorption lines and emission lines in the solar spectrum. Absorption lines usually appear at some wavelengths of the visible spectrum, appearing as dark lines or dark areas, while emission lines appear as bright lines or spectral peaks.

[0006] According to national standards, the solar intensity of an AM1.5 standard is 1000 W / m². 2 It includes a wavelength range of 300-4000nm, with an ultraviolet band (300-380nm) radiation intensity of 30W / m. 2 It accounts for 3.0% of the total solar radiation intensity, with a visible light intensity (300-780nm) of 533W / m². 2 It accounts for 53.3% of the total solar radiation intensity, with a near-infrared (780-1100nm) radiation intensity of 237W / m. 2 This accounts for 23.7% of the total solar radiation intensity. Common photovoltaic modules can operate in the 300-1100nm wavelength range, including ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light, totaling 800W / m². 2 It accounts for 80% of the total solar radiation intensity, with the strong absorption region of crystalline silicon located at 700-1100nm, exhibiting a radiation intensity of 330W / m. 2 It accounts for 33% of the total solar radiation intensity. The main absorption region of amorphous silicon is in the 300-700nm range, with a radiation intensity of 470W / m.2 It accounts for 47% of the total solar radiation intensity.

[0007] For photovoltaic (PV) power generation, most of the solar radiation energy projected onto the surface of PV cells only generates parasitic heat. This parasitic heat arises from two main causes: firstly, photons with energy less than the PV cell's bandgap (Eg) only produce phonons. For example, the absorption range of monocrystalline silicon PV cells is 300nm-1100nm; light waves with wavelengths greater than 1100nm irradiating the surface only produce phonons, ultimately converting into parasitic heat. Secondly, after photons with energy exceeding Eg excite electron-hole pairs, the remaining energy is dissipated as heat. Therefore, monocrystalline silicon has a relatively low conversion efficiency for ultraviolet light. Parasitic heat is detrimental to PV cells, increasing their temperature and reducing their photoelectric conversion efficiency by 0.4%–0.65% / ℃. It also accelerates the decay of photoelectric conversion efficiency and, in severe cases, can even cause them to fail completely. Of the incident solar radiation, 82%–85% is converted into parasitic heat by photovoltaic cells or reflected into the environment. Ultimately, photovoltaic cells can only convert the remaining 15%–18% into electrical energy, resulting in a low overall solar energy utilization rate. Therefore, in order to effectively utilize the full spectrum of solar energy while reducing the surface temperature of photovoltaic panels, the proposed solution involves installing cooling channels on the back of the photovoltaic cells. This lowers the operating temperature of the photovoltaic cells, improves their photoelectric conversion efficiency, and simultaneously recovers the heat energy of the heat exchange medium, ultimately achieving combined heat and power (CHP). Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a composite parabolic concentrator solar full-spectrum utilization device. In terms of design, it adopts a metal frame structure, and the concentrating part adopts an integral composite parabolic concentrator. In terms of tracking design, it adopts a single-axis tracking mode, that is, the device is fixed in the due south direction and uses a DC electric push rod to track the solar altitude angle (north-south axis).

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0010] A composite parabolic concentrator solar full-spectrum utilization device includes a stainless steel base frame and a composite parabolic concentrator that is rotatably mounted on the stainless steel base frame via a DC push rod.

[0011] The composite parabolic concentrator includes a frame and an electroplated aluminum oxide plate. The frame includes an aluminum alloy outer frame and a stainless steel tube set on the aluminum alloy outer frame. A horizontal tube is set on the stainless steel tube, and the electroplated aluminum oxide plate is fixedly set on the side wall of the stainless steel tube.

[0012] Preferably, the electroplated aluminum oxide plate has a U-shaped structure, with a rotating shaft at the bottom and a rotating seat at the top of the stainless steel base frame, and the rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat.

[0013] Preferably, the inner bottom of the electroplated alumina plate is provided with a concentrating photovoltaic module and a photovoltaic heat dissipation backplate stacked one on top of the other.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By concentrating sunlight from a large area to a small area, and then using high-performance photovoltaic cells to convert light energy into electrical energy, the intensity of solar radiation per unit area is significantly increased by concentrating sunlight, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0016] 2. Because the size of photovoltaic cell modules is reduced after light concentration, more efficient heat dissipation structures can be designed to fully absorb parasitic heat on the surface of the photovoltaic panel, thereby reducing the surface temperature of the photovoltaic module and improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module.

[0017] 3. After concentration, the size of the photovoltaic module is reduced, and the size of the heat dissipation channel can also be reduced accordingly, saving the cost of the heat dissipation channel component. At the same time, the energy density increases after concentration, which is conducive to further utilization of the parasitic heat energy generated by the photovoltaic module.
