Heat pipe-cooled highly-concentrated multi-junction solar cell

Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) systems have proven the capability of competing with traditional photovoltaic (PV) systems due to their high efficiency and low area occupancy. Such CPV systems require efficient heat removal auxiliary systems, especially for medium and high optical concentration ratios. Operating a CPV system under a high optical concentration (ratio > 200 X) might require active cooling techniques, which have high operating costs and maintenance. On the other hand, heat pipes (HPs) are widely used in electronic devices for cooling purposes. This work discusses the possibility of operating a CPV system coupled with HPs as a passive cooling technique. Two different HPs with different lengths are used to compare cooling efficiency. Each HP length was tested either in a single or double configuration. Long HPs showed better heat removal compared to a traditional fin-cooling system. CVP cooling with HP systems enhanced the entire electrical output of the cell, mainly at high optical concentration ratios.

Performance Enhancement of a Photovoltaic Module by Passive Cooling Using Water-Based Aluminum Oxide Nano-Fluid

The performance of a PV (photovoltaic) module relies heavily on the operating temperature. The aim of the current study was to improve PV performance by passive cooling with nano-coated aluminum fins attached to the backside of the photovoltaic panels. Four identical PV panels were installed side by side for simultaneous measurements. The first one (B) is a basic PV that was used for comparison purposes, the second one (N) PV, which is coated with water-based Al2O3 nano-fluid, the third is finned PV (F), with fins being attached to its backside and the Al2O3 nano-fluid coated fins are attached to the backside of the fourth PV (FN). The hourly electrical generated power by each PV, I-V, and I_V curves for each PV were recorded and stored using I-V Checker. In addition, the backside temperature of each PV and the ambient temperature were measured on an hourly basis using K-type thermocouples; the measured temperature values were stored in a data logger. It was found that the (FN) PV gave the best performance compared to the base unit, with an increase in the generated power by 5.77%, followed by the nanocoated (N) PV with an increase of 2.14% and finally the finned (F) PV with an increase of 0.74%. Furthermore, the PV with the nano-coated fins exhibits the lower temperature 31°C, followed by the nano-coated PV, and finally the fined PV, with the backside average temperature of the basic unit being 39°C.
