Description

The test component of photovoltaic concentrator module and method of testing thereof
The present invention relates to a kind of test component of photovoltaic concentrator module.Photovoltaic concentrator module is known in article: A.W. BETTY BOOP etc., FLATCON during high photovoltaic converges and FLASHCON notion, photovoltaic solar investigation of Proc.19th Europe and exhibition, Paris, France, 2004,2488 pages, and in the patent purport of formerly unpub patented claim DE 1020050332723.2 further improvement is arranged.The present invention also relates to a kind of method of testing of photovoltaic concentrator module and the method for producing this photovoltaic concentrator module.
In field of solar energy utilization, utilize element silicon that sun power is converted to electric energy by known about 50 years.Nowadays most general solar cell is made by monocrystalline or polysilicon.But owing to can only convert limited incident light spectrum to electric energy, the energy of these solar cells is relatively low.In nearest several years, by using the high-efficiency photovoltaic battery of making as gallium arsenide high-quality semiconducting compounds (III-IV semiconductor material) such as (GaAs), its solar radiation conversion ratio surpasses more than 39%.
This semiconductor material battery can be configured to layer-built battery or triple point battery step by step, and therefore, can utilize the more light of wide spectrum.
Yet the cost of making this area battery is very high.Therefore, the method for selection be with the incident solar ray collecting on a very little area, for example, less than 1mm 2So, solar cell only be need be so little an area.So, the whole area of this battery only needs to be less than 1% big this material.Assemble making us can utilize the high-efficiency photovoltaic battery, can reach light conversion ratio above 36%.Economical and practical photovoltaic system by and only be formed by connecting by several like this solar device, these ideally are combined to form photovoltaic concentrator module.
Present this system mainly is to use the bigger Fresnel lens with a long focal length, causes assembly very thick.Comprehensive these, form a powerful unit (solar power plant) and can cause very heavy weight (sometimes every kilowatt above 1 ton), therefore need a statics tracker, can tracks sunlight with this system photovoltaic cell component, for example wind-force is considerable.So because cost is too high, known condenser system is not used widely, though the photovoltaic electric current that produces significantly increases.
In recent years, the condenser system with little optics system also can be assembled the daylight more than 500 times sometimes.Yet in this case, still need a lot of battery (for example: about 1,500,000 batteries are used to provide the electric power of 500KW, and wherein 30% output is from solar cell) for the solar power plant that makes an economical running.Till now, also exist high outside waste and the protection susceptibility solar cell that focuses on heat and avoid environmental impact, particularly enter the problem of moisture and gas.
Testing photovoltaic concentrator module in assembling with before testing the assembly of being finished does not still solve with the possibility of determining its efficient and technical parameter.Conventional test component can not be used to test photovoltaic concentrator module, the test under normalization condition, and light must be radiated at (according to the incident angle of sunlight) on the assembly.Performance parameter and other Solar cell performance parameters of concentrator solar cell could be compared by this test.The test component of photovoltaic concentrator module with a large amount of solar cells is not now also by known.
The purpose that the present invention is basic is to create the possibility of the photovoltaic concentrator module that quality assurance is arranged, especially in effect and/or the possibility of other technologies parameter and/or the possibility of testing completed assembly after general assembly of testing photovoltaic concentrator module before the general assembly.Further purpose provides a kind of method of testing and production method of photovoltaic concentrator module, makes it photovoltaic concentrator module tested more simply and the production reliable quality.
The objective of the invention is to reach by the test component that a kind of the present invention mentions as claims 1 described photovoltaic concentrator module.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention have embodied the purport of dependent claims.Each form of the production method of the test component that the present invention mentions and the method for testing of photovoltaic concentrator module constitutes the purport of dependent claims.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention is, the test component of photovoltaic concentrator module has one or more following key elements: comprise a direct current electric light source and/or at least one specifically labelled location arrangement, a photocontrol, a special quartz pushrod, one be coaxial have that direct current light source and quartz pushrod illuminate flashbulb, advantageously have 1KW/m 2Radiance and/or lens, for example as a Fresnel lens, its light emergence face makes light beam be transformed into a kind of quasi-parallel light beam more than or equal to the light entrance face of tested photovoltaic concentrator module.In addition, neutral grey filter is set the quasi-parallel light beam is transformed into a kind of quasi-parallel light beam of sending the light that distributes on the accurate same light face, add that a main power supply that is used for direct current light source and flashbulb under each situation is connected, open the electronic circuit of tested photovoltaic concentrator module and/or the measuring element of a recording characteristic, the volt-ampere characteristic of for example tested photovoltaic concentrator module for one.The direct current light source is accurately placed light entrance face that tested photovoltaic concentrator module makes it in the inside of the light entrance face of test component Fresnel lens, for example uses conventional telltale mark.

In order to write down as volt-ampere characteristic, load resistance coefficients R out is different from from 0 to very large resistance coefficient, because indefinite resistor.0 load resistance coefficient means when the volt-ampere characteristic test point that write down is for short circuit and records.In this case, tested photovoltaic concentrator module 26 does not have output voltage, and output current Iout is infinitely great, and the short-circuit current Isc that corresponding tested photovoltaic concentrator module 26 provides is also for infinitely great.
The value of pull-up resistor Rout has increased, and the about 0A of corresponding output current Iout is a standard.The Uout respective value of pull-up resistor Rout during with 0A tested photovoltaic concentrator module 26 open circuit voltages conform to.
When the value of pull-up resistor Rout increases since 0, the fixed value of the current I sc value of the short circuit that records with usual mensuration accordingly usually, the load resistance coefficient of large-scale relatively arrangement is a standard.So after by output current value IMP and output voltage values UMP mxm., the value that the output current Iout of standard shows quickly falls to 0A, when pull-up resistor Rout resistance further increases.In habitually describing, test component 1 makes the accurate volt-ampere characteristic of the photovoltaic concentrator module 26 that before general assembly record is tested become possibility, can guarantee reliable quality like this.
The volt-ampere characteristic of initial state record after be used as the control reference on identical point with the same corresponding characteristic of photovoltaic concentrator module.The difference of initial characteristic is used as the standard of the mode of operation of an evaluation photovoltaic concentrator module.This make accurately judge assembly whether continue reliable and effectively running or assembly must change and become possibility, increased the functional reliability of the installment work of this assembly.
Shown in Figure 9 before general assembly the skeleton diagram of the current voltage characteristic of different photovoltaic concentrator modules, value I1SC, I1MP, the U1MP of figure center line 110 expressions first photovoltaic concentrator module, value I2SC, I2MP and the U2MP of line 120 another photovoltaic concentrator modules of expression.
