Abstract
This doctoral thesis deals with a passive cooling technique investigated on the free-standing photovoltaic (PV) panel cooled by aluminium fins. Cooling of the photovoltaic panels can lead to increase of the energy conversion efficiency by decreased operating temperature of the PV panel. The research starts by reviewing the existing cooling techniques, both active and passive. Review concludes that passive cooling techniques could have an economic advantage over active ones, which use energy to cool down the panel. The research continues by experimental and numerical examination (CFD analysis) of the heat flows from standard commercial photovoltaic panel, and noticing specific drawbacks, which can be overcome by application of proposed aluminium fin based passive cooling technique. The technique is proposed, developed and applied on a standard PV panel (260W of nominal power output), on which extensive field measurements are done. In measuring process, several novel methods are proposed, such as parallel electrical yield measurements with a referent panel, and unified electrical yield increase as a measure of raise in efficiency. It is shown that proposed air based passive cooling technique with aluminium fins can be financially and environmentally realistic.
Abstract (croatian)
Ova doktorska disertacija bavi se pasivnom rashladnom tehnikom primijenjenom na samostojećem fotonaponskom (FN) panelu hlađenom aluminijskim orebrenjem. Hlađenjem fotonaponskog panela povećava se učinkovitost fotonaponske pretvorbe energije putem smanjenja radne temperature PV panela. Istraživanje počinje pregledom postojećih rashladnih tehnika, i to aktivnih i pasivnih. Zaključak pregleda je da pasivne tehnike hlađenja u ekonomskom smislu mogu imati prednost ispred aktivnih tehnika, koje troše energiju za hlađenje panela. Istraživanje se nastavlja eksperimentalnim i numeričkim (CFD analiza) ispitivanjima toplinskih tokova sa standarnog fotonaponskog panela te uočavanju specifičnih nedostataka, koji se mogu eliminirati aplikacijom predložene pasivne tehnike hlađenja pomoću aluminijskog orebrenja. U nastavku je predložena i razvijena tehnika hlađenja, koja je primijenjena na standardni komercijalno dostupni FN panel (nazivne snage 260W) te su napravljena detaljna terenska mjerenja. U procesu mjerenja, predloženo je nekoliko novih metoda mjerenja, kao što je paralelno mjerenje proizvedene energije u odnosu na referentni panel te unificirani porast dobivene energije kao mjera povećanja učinkovitosti panela. Pokazano je da predložena pasivna rashladna tehnika pomoću aluminijskog orebrenja može biti financijski i okolišno prihvatljiva.
