Description
Résumé:Based on the energy conversion equation and dynamic power model of the semi-transparent crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) window (ST-PVW), through an iterative coupling solution to the operating temperature of the cell, a thermal-electric coupling calculation method for the ST-PVW is provided, and, combined with experiments, the method model was verified. Based on this model, the influence of PV cell coverage rate (PVR) on the thermal performance of the ST-PVW was studied. According to the simulation results, in summer, the heat gain of the ST-PVW decreases with the increase of PVR, and in winter, the amount of heat loss increases with the increase of PVR. For the four cities of Guangzhou, Nanjing, Beijing and Harbin, when the PVR is 1, 0.60 to 0.64, 0.28 to 0.32 and 0.26 to 0.30, respectively, the annual power consumption of the air conditioner can reach the minimum, and when the PVR is 0.16 to 0.17, 0.24 to 0.25, 0.22 to 0.23 and 0.19 to 0.20, respectively, the amount of electricity generated can just offset the power consumption of the air conditioner during the day.
