摘要

对于室外长期运行的太阳能光伏光热设备,暴露在户外环境特别是如沙尘等极端天气中的聚光镜由于镜面积尘造成了不可忽视的聚光损失,进而造成系统输出性能显著下降。针对该问题,本文基于菲涅尔CPV/T三级聚光系统,依据等效粒径方法及地区灰尘颗粒分布特点,考虑积尘密度、颗粒粒径和颗粒形状等因素,建立了聚光系统光学仿真模型,利用蒙特卡洛射线追踪(MCRT)方法对光线路径及聚光性能进行分析和预测,结果表明:当积尘密度相同时,粒径较小的积尘颗粒对光线偏折和能量密度影响最大;相比其它形状的灰尘颗粒,三角形灰尘颗粒对光学性能影响最严重,当镜面积尘密度达到15 g/m2时,圆形、方形、三角形形状灰尘颗粒对系统造成的聚光损失分别为67.1%,64.4%和69.5%;同时,针对呼和浩特地区地表土壤和自然积尘样本,进行X射线衍射仪(XRD)成分对比分析,并通过人工布尘试验,测试不同积尘密度下聚光镜样片透射率,与仿真结果进行验证,当粒径分别小于50μm和60μm时,平均积尘密度每增加1 g/m2,聚光效率分别降低3.31%和3.26%。该研究为寻找菲涅尔CPV/T系统积尘规律以及高效除尘提供理论依据和试验指导。

Abstract

Dust accumulation is one of the reasons for the performance degradation of concentrating photovoltaic and thermal (CPV/T) systems due to the deposition of dust particles with different compositions, shapes, sizes, and masses. In this work, an optical model was developed to investigate the influence of the particle size, diameter, shape, and deposition density on the light concentration efficiency, using the Monte Carlo raytracing (MCRT) method in the Tracepro software. The triangular particles had a larger influence on the light ray deflection and energy flux degradation than the circular and square particles. An average increase in the dust density of 1 g/m2 decreased the light concentration efficiency of particles with sizes smaller than 50 μm and 60 μm by 3.31% and 3.26%, respectively. Furthermore, the effect of the incidence angle on the light concentration efficiency was considered at an angle less than 2°.
