Abstract Photovoltaic-thermoelectric (PV-TE) conversion is a promising method for power generation, which converts solar power into electricity using the photovoltaic (PV) effect of solar cells and simultaneously generates electricity by the Seebeck effect of the thermoelectric (TE) device based on the waste heat of solar cells. Here, the power generation of the PV-TE device at night is experimentally demonstrated using radiative cooling that harnesses the cold of the universe directly. The PV-TE device is constructed by attaching a TE device on the bottom of the glass-covered PV module, with a heat sink stuck on the opposite side of the TE device. The open-circuit voltage of the TE device integrated into the PV-TE device was measured to be approximately 9 mV, indicating that the PV-TE device can definitely generate electricity from the darkness. Moreover, a new configuration of the PV-TE device for continuous power generation in the day and night is conceptually proposed for further consideration. In summary, this work proves the possibility of the PV-TE device for nighttime power generation, which could provide an alternative pathway for a wide range of nighttime and all-day power-consumed applications, such as lower power sensors and monitors.

Radiative cooling (RC) is attracting more interest from building engineers and architects. Using the sky as the heat sink, a radiative cooling material can be passively cooled by emitting heat to the sky. As a result of the development of material technology, RC research has been revived, with the aim of increasing the materials’ cooling power as well as finding reliable ways to utilize it in cooling for buildings. This review identifies some issues in the current implementation of RC technologies in buildings from an architectural point of view. Besides the technical performance of the RC technologies, some architectural aspects, such as integration with architectural features, aesthetic requirements, as well as fully passive implementations of RC, also need to be considered for building application. In addition, performance evaluation of a building-integrated RC system should begin to account for its benefit to the occupant’s health and comfort alongside the technical performance. In conclusion, this review on RC implementation in buildings provides a meaningful discussion in regard to the direction of the research.

Theoretical and Experimental Study of Spectral Selectivity Surface for Both Solar Heating and Radiative Cooling

A spectral selectivity surface for both solar heating and radiative cooling was proposed. It has a high spectral absorptivity (emissivity) in the solar radiation band and atmospheric window band (i.e., 0.2~3 μm and 8~13 μm), as well as a low absorptivity (emissivity) in other bands aside from the solar radiation and atmospheric window wavelengths (i.e., 3~8 μm or above 13 μm). A type of composite surface sample was trial-manufactured combining titanium-based solar selective absorbing coating with polyethylene terephthalate (TPET). Sample tests showed that the TPET composite surface has clear spectral selectivity in the spectra of solar heating and radiation cooling wavelengths. The equilibrium temperatures of the TPET surface under different sky conditions or different inclination angles of surface were tested at both day and night. Numerical analysis and comparisons among the TPET composite surface and three other typical surfaces were also performed. These comparisons indicated that the TPET composite surface had a relative heat efficiency of 76.8% of that of the conventional solar heating surface and a relative temperature difference of 75.0% of that of the conventional radiative cooling surface, with little difference in cooling power.

Radiative cooling (RC) sees great developments in recent years due to its unique feature of sending waste heat to the cold universe without any additional energy consumption, which is extensively proved in many application scenarios, including its integration into solar installations. The comprehensive solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) technology is becoming popular due to its multi-function and high overall efficiency. The integration of RC into a PV/T collector can further contribute to such merits by adding a night sky cooling function, so a PV/T-RC collector can produce electricity and heat during the daytime and provide cooling energy during the nighttime. Without any structural modification, a flat-plate PV/T collector with a typical glass cover is confirmed to be able to realize a good radiative cooling in the present study. A mathematic model for the nighttime performance evaluation of a typical PV/T module was developed to characterize the nocturnal cooling capacity of the module. Results suggest that the absorber plate can be cooled to nearly 9.5 °C below the ambient air over a consecutive five hours nighttime period. Further parametric studies were carried out to investigate the effect of some key structural and environmental parameters on the radiative cooling performance of the PV/T module. Under some favorable radiative cooling conditions, the absorber plate can realize a stagnation temperature of nearly 11 °C lower than the ambient temperature and reach a maximum cooling power of over 50 W/m2.

Experimental study and numerical validation on the effect of inclination angle to the thermal performance of solar heat pipe photovoltaic/thermal system

Abstract Effect of inclination angle to the thermal performance of a heat pipe photovoltaic/thermal system (HP-PV/T) system was rarely reported. In the present study, a HP-PV/T system was firstly constructed in an Enthalpy Difference Laboratory, where inclination angle was experimentally managed as the only variable. Meanwhile, a comprehensive numerical model for the HP-PV/T system was developed to validate the experiments. Particularly, a 3D model for the inclined heat pipe was also firstly involved. The simulation results show that liquid film thickness within the condenser or the evaporator stabilizes at a constant value at inclining condition. The relative filmwise thermal resistance of the condenser decreases first and then increases with inclination angle; while the evaporator shows an opposite trend to the condenser. The overall thermal resistance of solar heat pipe is mainly determined by the evaporator while the evaporator is mainly determined by the effective height of the liquid pool. The experimental and simulation results both indicate that the optimum inclination angle is 40°. The proposed model agrees well with the experimental results at big inclination angles (≥20°), it is practicable to reveal the influence of inclination angle to the thermal performance of a HP-PV/T system.

Conceptual development of a building-integrated photovoltaic–radiative cooling system and preliminary performance analysis in Eastern China
descriptionPublicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article , Journal 2017Publisher:Elsevier BV

Abstract Building-integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPV/T) technology has been receiving considerable research attention because of its ability to generate electricity and thermal energy simultaneously. However, space cooling is crucial for buildings in hot regions where space heating is of little use. This study proposed a building-integrated photovoltaic–radiative cooling system (BIPV–RC) that can generate electricity via photovoltaic (PV) conversion during daytime and generate cooling energy via radiative cooling (RC) during nighttime to satisfy the demand in such areas. The selective plate, which is the main component of the BIPV–RC system, exhibits high spectral absorptivity (emissivity) in the PV conversion band of crystalline silicon solar cells and in the atmospheric window band (i.e., 0.3–1.1 μm and 8–13 μm), as well as low spectral absorptivity (emissivity) in other bands. A quasi-steady-state mathematical model was built, and its performance under realistic ambient conditions was analyzed. The electrical efficiencies of the BIPV–RC and conventional BIPV systems were then compared under different solar radiations. Comparison results show that the annual electricity production and cooling energy gain of the BIPV–RC system in Hefei reached 156.74 kW h m−2 (equivalent to 564.26 MJ m−2) and 579.91 MJ m−2, respectively. The total electricity production and cooling energy gain of this system are 96.96% higher than those of the BIPV system. Parametric studies show that the precipitable water vapor amount has remarkable effects on the nocturnal RC performance of the BIPV–RC system. A small precipitable water vapor amount corresponds to a high nocturnal RC power, thereby implying that a dry climate condition benefits the nocturnal RC of this system.

Abstract A novel solar evacuated receiver as the key part of parabolic trough collector (PTC) was designed and constructed by authors. The novel evacuated receiver (NER) with an inner radiation shield can significantly decrease heat loss at higher operating temperatures when compared with the traditional evacuated receiver (TER). A thermodynamic model relying on the spectrum parameter model of radiation heat transfer was developed to predict the performances of evacuated receivers. Also, experiments using the novel evacuated receiver and traditional evacuated receiver were conducted in the laboratory under different parametric conditions to validate results obtained for the simulation. A comparison between simulation results and experimental data demonstrated that the model was able to yield satisfactory consistencies and predictions to a reasonable accuracy (with the root mean square deviations less than 6%). Results indicated that the novel evacuated receiver has a role in decreasing the total heat loss of receiver compared with the traditional receiver when the working temperature is higher than 296 °C, the heat loss reduction percentage of the novel evacuated receiver reaches 19.1% when the operating temperature is 480 °C, and the value of this percentage would be greater at higher working temperatures.

Is it possible for a photovoltaic-thermoelectric device to generate electricity at night?

Abstract Photovoltaic-thermoelectric (PV-TE) conversion is a promising method for power generation, which converts solar power into electricity using the photovoltaic (PV) effect of solar cells and simultaneously generates electricity by the Seebeck effect of the thermoelectric (TE) device based on the waste heat of solar cells. Here, the power generation of the PV-TE device at night is experimentally demonstrated using radiative cooling that harnesses the cold of the universe directly. The PV-TE device is constructed by attaching a TE device on the bottom of the glass-covered PV module, with a heat sink stuck on the opposite side of the TE device. The open-circuit voltage of the TE device integrated into the PV-TE device was measured to be approximately 9 mV, indicating that the PV-TE device can definitely generate electricity from the darkness. Moreover, a new configuration of the PV-TE device for continuous power generation in the day and night is conceptually proposed for further consideration. In summary, this work proves the possibility of the PV-TE device for nighttime power generation, which could provide an alternative pathway for a wide range of nighttime and all-day power-consumed applications, such as lower power sensors and monitors.

Radiative cooling (RC) is attracting more interest from building engineers and architects. Using the sky as the heat sink, a radiative cooling material can be passively cooled by emitting heat to the sky. As a result of the development of material technology, RC research has been revived, with the aim of increasing the materials’ cooling power as well as finding reliable ways to utilize it in cooling for buildings. This review identifies some issues in the current implementation of RC technologies in buildings from an architectural point of view. Besides the technical performance of the RC technologies, some architectural aspects, such as integration with architectural features, aesthetic requirements, as well as fully passive implementations of RC, also need to be considered for building application. In addition, performance evaluation of a building-integrated RC system should begin to account for its benefit to the occupant’s health and comfort alongside the technical performance. In conclusion, this review on RC implementation in buildings provides a meaningful discussion in regard to the direction of the research.

A spectral selectivity surface for both solar heating and radiative cooling was proposed. It has a high spectral absorptivity (emissivity) in the solar radiation band and atmospheric window band (i.e., 0.2~3 μm and 8~13 μm), as well as a low absorptivity (emissivity) in other bands aside from the solar radiation and atmospheric window wavelengths (i.e., 3~8 μm or above 13 μm). A type of composite surface sample was trial-manufactured combining titanium-based solar selective absorbing coating with polyethylene terephthalate (TPET). Sample tests showed that the TPET composite surface has clear spectral selectivity in the spectra of solar heating and radiation cooling wavelengths. The equilibrium temperatures of the TPET surface under different sky conditions or different inclination angles of surface were tested at both day and night. Numerical analysis and comparisons among the TPET composite surface and three other typical surfaces were also performed. These comparisons indicated that the TPET composite surface had a relative heat efficiency of 76.8% of that of the conventional solar heating surface and a relative temperature difference of 75.0% of that of the conventional radiative cooling surface, with little difference in cooling power.

Radiative cooling (RC) sees great developments in recent years due to its unique feature of sending waste heat to the cold universe without any additional energy consumption, which is extensively proved in many application scenarios, including its integration into solar installations. The comprehensive solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) technology is becoming popular due to its multi-function and high overall efficiency. The integration of RC into a PV/T collector can further contribute to such merits by adding a night sky cooling function, so a PV/T-RC collector can produce electricity and heat during the daytime and provide cooling energy during the nighttime. Without any structural modification, a flat-plate PV/T collector with a typical glass cover is confirmed to be able to realize a good radiative cooling in the present study. A mathematic model for the nighttime performance evaluation of a typical PV/T module was developed to characterize the nocturnal cooling capacity of the module. Results suggest that the absorber plate can be cooled to nearly 9.5 °C below the ambient air over a consecutive five hours nighttime period. Further parametric studies were carried out to investigate the effect of some key structural and environmental parameters on the radiative cooling performance of the PV/T module. Under some favorable radiative cooling conditions, the absorber plate can realize a stagnation temperature of nearly 11 °C lower than the ambient temperature and reach a maximum cooling power of over 50 W/m2.

Experimental study and numerical validation on the effect of inclination angle to the thermal performance of solar heat pipe photovoltaic/thermal system

Abstract Effect of inclination angle to the thermal performance of a heat pipe photovoltaic/thermal system (HP-PV/T) system was rarely reported. In the present study, a HP-PV/T system was firstly constructed in an Enthalpy Difference Laboratory, where inclination angle was experimentally managed as the only variable. Meanwhile, a comprehensive numerical model for the HP-PV/T system was developed to validate the experiments. Particularly, a 3D model for the inclined heat pipe was also firstly involved. The simulation results show that liquid film thickness within the condenser or the evaporator stabilizes at a constant value at inclining condition. The relative filmwise thermal resistance of the condenser decreases first and then increases with inclination angle; while the evaporator shows an opposite trend to the condenser. The overall thermal resistance of solar heat pipe is mainly determined by the evaporator while the evaporator is mainly determined by the effective height of the liquid pool. The experimental and simulation results both indicate that the optimum inclination angle is 40°. The proposed model agrees well with the experimental results at big inclination angles (≥20°), it is practicable to reveal the influence of inclination angle to the thermal performance of a HP-PV/T system.

Conceptual development of a building-integrated photovoltaic–radiative cooling system and preliminary performance analysis in Eastern China

Abstract Building-integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPV/T) technology has been receiving considerable research attention because of its ability to generate electricity and thermal energy simultaneously. However, space cooling is crucial for buildings in hot regions where space heating is of little use. This study proposed a building-integrated photovoltaic–radiative cooling system (BIPV–RC) that can generate electricity via photovoltaic (PV) conversion during daytime and generate cooling energy via radiative cooling (RC) during nighttime to satisfy the demand in such areas. The selective plate, which is the main component of the BIPV–RC system, exhibits high spectral absorptivity (emissivity) in the PV conversion band of crystalline silicon solar cells and in the atmospheric window band (i.e., 0.3–1.1 μm and 8–13 μm), as well as low spectral absorptivity (emissivity) in other bands. A quasi-steady-state mathematical model was built, and its performance under realistic ambient conditions was analyzed. The electrical efficiencies of the BIPV–RC and conventional BIPV systems were then compared under different solar radiations. Comparison results show that the annual electricity production and cooling energy gain of the BIPV–RC system in Hefei reached 156.74 kW h m−2 (equivalent to 564.26 MJ m−2) and 579.91 MJ m−2, respectively. The total electricity production and cooling energy gain of this system are 96.96% higher than those of the BIPV system. Parametric studies show that the precipitable water vapor amount has remarkable effects on the nocturnal RC performance of the BIPV–RC system. A small precipitable water vapor amount corresponds to a high nocturnal RC power, thereby implying that a dry climate condition benefits the nocturnal RC of this system.

The total electricity production and cooling energy gain of this system are 96.96% higher than those of the BIPV system. Parametric studies show that the precipitable water vapor amount has remarkable effects on the nocturnal RC performance of the BIPV–RC system. A small precipitable water vapor amount corresponds to a high nocturnal RC power, thereby implying that a dry climate condition benefits the nocturnal RC of this system.

Performance analysis on a high-temperature solar evacuated receiver with an inner radiation shield

Abstract A novel solar evacuated receiver as the key part of parabolic trough collector (PTC) was designed and constructed by authors. The novel evacuated receiver (NER) with an inner radiation shield can significantly decrease heat loss at higher operating temperatures when compared with the traditional evacuated receiver (TER). A thermodynamic model relying on the spectrum parameter model of radiation heat transfer was developed to predict the performances of evacuated receivers. Also, experiments using the novel evacuated receiver and traditional evacuated receiver were conducted in the laboratory under different parametric conditions to validate results obtained for the simulation. A comparison between simulation results and experimental data demonstrated that the model was able to yield satisfactory consistencies and predictions to a reasonable accuracy (with the root mean square deviations less than 6%). Results indicated that the novel evacuated receiver has a role in decreasing the total heat loss of receiver compared with the traditional receiver when the working temperature is higher than 296 °C, the heat loss reduction percentage of the novel evacuated receiver reaches 19.1% when the operating temperature is 480 °C, and the value of this percentage would be greater at higher working temperatures.
