Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat recovery technology for double-glass modules, and in particular to an energy supply system based on double-glass PV / T modules. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, photovoltaic (PV) power generation is widely used globally. As the world's largest PV market, China ranks among the world's top in both installed PV capacity and power generation, and its PV technology has made continuous progress. Various types of PV cells, such as high-efficiency crystalline silicon cells, thin-film cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells, are emerging, significantly improving their conversion efficiency and lifespan.
[0003] Photovoltaic-storage-charging integrated power stations can store electrical energy after photovoltaic power generation. Photovoltaic, energy storage and charging facilities form a microgrid and can realize two different operating modes, grid-connected and off-grid, according to demand. They can also participate in ancillary services such as grid peak regulation and frequency regulation, peak shaving and valley filling by leveraging the technical characteristics of photovoltaic, energy storage and charging.
[0004] However, the mutual utilization between photovoltaics and solar thermal energy is mainly reflected in the integrated utilization technology of solar photovoltaics and solar thermal energy, which combines photovoltaic cells with solar thermal collection technology. While converting solar energy into electrical energy, the power generation efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells depends on their operating temperature. For every 1°C increase in temperature, the output power will decrease by 0.4% to 0.5%. Since more than 80% of the energy reaching the cell surface is converted into heat, the operating temperature of solar cells is usually above 50°C, and can even reach 80°C when heat dissipation is poor, thus seriously affecting the working efficiency of solar cells.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, the current market uses inflatable refrigerant evaporator plates as heat collectors, also known as PV / T collectors, to cool the battery string and utilize the collected heat to meet users' demands for high-quality electricity and low-quality heat energy.
[0006] However, the current PV / T collector market only supports single-glass modules. Metal heat collectors or other heat collectors can only be installed on the back of single-glass modules. Double-glass photovoltaic modules, on the other hand, generate electricity from both sides, making it impossible to install metal heat collectors or other heat collectors to remove the heat generated by the cell string. This inability to control the operating temperature of the cell string further impacts the efficiency of double-glass modules. Utility Model Content

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an energy supply system based on double-glass PV / T modules includes multiple sets of double-glass PV / T units 1, heat exchange units 2, and power supply units 7. Each set of double-glass PV / T units 1 includes a double-glass module and a glass interlayer disposed on the surface of the double-glass module. The glass interlayers of two adjacent sets of double-glass PV / T units 1 are connected sequentially. The glass interlayer of the outermost double-glass PV / T unit 1 is connected to the heat exchange unit 2 via a pipeline. The heat exchange unit 2 is connected to the heat dissipation terminal 6 via a ground source heat pump heat exchange unit 2. The double-glass module is electrically connected to the power supply unit 7.
[0033] Specifically, the double-glass module includes an outer frame 18 and, from top to bottom, a first tempered glass 12, an EVA protective layer 13, a photovoltaic cell string 14, an EVA protective layer 13, a second tempered glass 15, an EVA protective layer 13, at least one tempered glass support frame 16, an EVA protective layer 13, and a third tempered glass 17, which are arranged sequentially inside the outer frame 18. A glass interlayer is formed between the third tempered glass 17 and the second tempered glass 15, and the glass interlayer is filled with pure water. Flow holes 11 are provided at each of the four corners of the third tempered glass 17. The flow holes 11 are connected to the flow holes 11 of the adjacent double-glass PV / T unit 1 via pipes or to the heat exchange unit 2 via pipes.
[0034] The connection path between multiple sets of double-glass PV / T units 1 is U-shaped to increase the flow path; the flow hole 11 is threaded with a pipe fitting for connecting pipelines.
[0035] The heat exchange unit 2 includes a heat exchange box 21 and a heat exchange coil 22 disposed inside the heat exchange box 21. The cooling water inlet and outlet of the heat exchange box 21 are respectively connected to the glass interlayer of the outermost double-glass PV / T unit 1 through pipelines. A first circulation pump 23 is disposed on one of the pipelines between the heat exchange box and the glass interlayer. A temperature sensor is also disposed inside the heat exchange box 21. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the controller 5.
[0036] The ground source heat pump heat exchange unit 2 includes a ground source heat exchange module 3 and a ground source heat pump main module 4. The ground source heat exchange module 3 includes multiple parallel underground hot water pipes 31, which are connected to the inlet and outlet ends of the heat exchange coil 22 via ground source heat return water pipe 32 and ground source heat outlet water pipe 33, respectively. The ground source heat pump main module 4 includes a first heat exchanger 41 and a second heat exchanger 44 arranged in sequence. One side of the first heat exchanger 41 is connected to the ground source heat return water pipe 32 and the ground source heat outlet water pipe 33, respectively. A second circulation pump 34 is installed between the ground source heat outlet water pipe 33 and the second heat exchanger 44. The other two ends of the first heat exchanger 41 are connected to the ground source heat return water pipe 32 and the ground source heat outlet water pipe 33, respectively.

The main inlet of the reversing valve 43 is connected to the outlet of the compressor 42, and the inlet of the compressor 42 is connected to the middle pipe port of the reversing valve 43. The reversing valve 43 is configured such that the single-pass copper pipe end is connected to the second heat exchanger 44 when it is energized, and the single-pass copper pipe end inlet is connected to the first heat exchanger 41 when it is not energized.

The controller 5 is also electrically connected to the expansion valve 46, the reversing valve 43, and the compressor 42, respectively.
[0038] The heating process based on the above structure is as follows:
[0039] 1. Collecting heat generated by double-glass PV / T unit 1: The heat generated by the photovoltaic cell string in double-glass PV / T unit 1 is transferred to the pure water in the glass interlayer, thereby reducing the temperature of the cell string, ensuring its power generation efficiency, and realizing heat collection at the same time.
[0040] 2. Heat exchange: After heat exchange, the water flows sequentially in a concave path between two adjacent double-glass PV / T units 1 until it reaches the outermost double-glass PV / T unit 1, and then enters the heat exchange unit 2. The water in the heat exchange coil 22 is introduced into the thermal buried pipe 31 for heat exchange and cooling, and then re-enters the outermost double-glass PV / T unit 1 to achieve circulation.
[0041] Meanwhile, the water in the heat exchange coil 22 is heated and then enters the underground pipeline through the ground source heat return water pipe 32. It exchanges heat with the soil in the pipeline and absorbs heat. After that, it flows out through the ground source heat outlet water pipe 33 to the first heat exchanger 41. After exchanging heat with the refrigerant, it enters the heat exchange coil 22 to achieve circulation.
[0042] After absorbing heat, the refrigerant in the first heat exchanger 41 vaporizes from a liquid state to a gaseous state. The compressor 42 compresses the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. This high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas enters the second heat exchanger 44 and exchanges heat with the low-temperature medium on the other side. After the low-temperature medium is heated, it enters the heat dissipation terminal 6 for heating. Meanwhile, the refrigerant gas gradually condenses into a high-pressure liquid and enters the first heat exchanger 41 again after passing through the expansion valve 46, thus achieving a cycle.
[0043] The power supply unit 7 includes an integrated inverter and controller 71 whose input terminal is electrically connected to the photovoltaic cell string 14 of the double-glass module. The output terminal of the integrated inverter and controller 71 is electrically connected to the charging pile 73, the power distribution cabinet 74 and the energy storage cabinet 72 respectively. The power distribution cabinet 74 is electrically connected to the mains power. The integrated inverter and controller 71 is also electrically connected to the controller 5.
[0044] The power supply principle based on the above structure is as follows:
[0045] The DC power output from the battery strings of multiple double-glass PV / T units 1 is converted into AC power by the inverter control unit 71. The inverter control unit 71 transmits the AC power to the energy storage cabinet 72 for storage, while charging the charging pile 73. It also uses the distribution cabinet 74 to participate in auxiliary services such as grid peak regulation, frequency regulation, peak shaving and valley filling.
[0046] It should be noted that the above electronic components are all mature products on the market. This embodiment only requires purchasing them and connecting them according to the instruction manual. No modifications have been made to them. Therefore, their circuit connection structure and principle will not be described in detail here.
[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
