A new method for evaluating nominal operating cell temperature (NOCT) of unglazed photovoltaic thermal module
摘要： Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) modules convert solar energy into electricity and heat. Unlike that of normal photovoltaic modules, the nominal operating cell temperature (NOCT) of PVT modules, which is used to evaluate the temperature and electrical power output, is unknown because it depends on the mass flow rate and inlet temperature of the working fluid in the module. In this paper, a new method for calculating the NOCT of PVT modules with water as the working fluid is presented. Four unglazed identical PVT modules in series were tested outdoors with various mass flow rates. The tests, which were similar to solar collector tests, were conducted from 8:30 to 16:30 on clear-sky days in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and the water inlet temperature of the first PVT module of the system was varied from 27 to 60 ?C. The correlation between the NOCT of the unglazed PVT module, based on (Tfi ? Ta)/IT , and the water mass flow rate, ˙m, was determined. The calculated PVT module temperature determined with the new NOCT method agrees well with the experimental data, and 96% of the calculated results deviate only by up to ±10% from the experimental data.

Silicon solar cell-integrated stress and temperature sensors for photovoltaic modules
摘要： We propose silicon solar cell–integrated stress and temperature sensors as a new approach for the stress and temperature measurement in photovoltaic (PV) modules. The solar cell–integrated sensors enable a direct and continuous in situ measurement of mechanical stress and temperature of solar cells within PV modules. In this work, we present a proof of concept for stress and temperature sensors on a silicon solar cell wafer. Both sensors were tested in a conventional PV module setup. For the stress sensor, a sensitivity of (?47.41 ± 0.14)%/GPa has been reached, and for the temperature sensor, a sensitivity of (3.557 ± 0.008) × 10?3 K?1 has been reached. These sensors can already be used in research for increased measurement accuracy of the temperature and the mechanical stress in PV modules because of the implementation at the precise location of the solar cells within a laminate stack, for process evaluation, in-situ measurements in reliability tests, and the correlation with real exposure to climates.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Chicago, IL, USA (2019.6.16-2019.6.21)] 2019 IEEE 46th Photovoltaic Specialists Conference (PVSC) - Outdoor Performance of PV Technologies in Simulated Automotive Environments
摘要： GaAs, monocrystalline Si, and multicrystalline Si modules were tested in a configuration designed to simulate car-roof-integrated mounting. The increase in module temperature above ambient was similar for the four Si modules, but less (~76%) for the GaAs modules. Local temperatures within each module were strongly dependent on the optical properties of the back sheet. The lower operating temperature combined with smaller temperature coefficient of the GaAs modules resulted in higher performance ratios for the GaAs modules even for ambient temperature < 25°C. The quantification of the relative performance of the modules in a thermal environment relevant to implementation in vehicles provides information for the selection of PV modules for this emerging application.
